In third place podium of the worst this week we have the Democratic Party by Elly Schlein who, now increasingly short of members, has signed up a gentleman in a coma. Without his knowledge, of course. It happens in San Martino Valle Caudina, in the province of Avellino. And the one who reports the crime is the wife of the unfortunate man who, after spending months in hospital for a brain attack and in a rehabilitation clinic, magically found himself a member of the Democratic Party. And he's not the only one. According to an investigation by Corriere del Mezzogiornothere would also be other people in the same condition. All of them unaware that they have a membership card from Elly's team in their pocket. We have known for some time that Schlein's party is not in good shape. Just look at the string of knockouts in the latest electoral rounds, from political to administrative. Not to mention the European ones. But we didn't think it was possible that they were in such bad shape that they invented members. The local section of San Martino Valle Caudina was quick to say that it could have been “a typo with an almost homonym”. For goodness sake, anything can be: the typo in a misspelled surname, the fatality of an almost homonymous person in a small town of four thousand souls… but also the mistake of a party, yes, in a comatose state.
Second place goes to the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri for the super mess linked to the organization of the New Year's Concert. First he wants Tony Effe to come to the Circus Maximus, then, as soon as his own party colleagues turn against him, he immediately runs back to renege on the invitation. But didn't he really know that the lyrics of the Roman rapper's songs are not so edifying towards women? Perhaps Elly Schlein didn't even know it, as she marched at Gay Pride last summer to the tune of the national Tony. And perhaps not even all the singers who now cry out for censorship on social media and who, when it comes to attacking the right, are instead on the front line defending their “sisters”. Yet those songs, in which he invites you to put girls on a leash or to command them like a joystick, in which he also boasts about beating women or having violent sex, in which he spouts disgusting insults and epithets, have been online for years. Next time, to avoid similar messes, Gualtieri takes his guitar and entertains the Romans on New Year's Eve. It might even make for a fun gig. Who knows if Schlein would enjoy it too. Or if he would still prefer Tony Effe's hits played on Gay Pride floats.
In first place on the podium of the worst there is, however, the Palermo prosecutor's office who with his theorems on the Open Arms case tried them all in order to put Matteo Salvini in prison. And if she had succeeded it would have been the first time in the history of the Republic. Fortunately, the entire accusatory system has been dismantled in full because the fact does not exist. However, there remains judicial persecution, the about-faces of Giuseppe Conte and his ministers, the haters who hoped for prison and above all a country once again held hostage by a politicized judiciary. The acquittal of the League leader comes, in fact, the day after another, the one that tears to pieces the investigation with which the Florence prosecutors hunted Renzi for years on the Open Foundation. And let's not forget Giovanni Toti's plea deal which shatters the bombastic investigations of the Genoa prosecutor's office, the arrest of the governor and the forced resignation. Three pieces of news that cast further shadows on the state of health of the judiciary.
Don't be surprised, then, if the judicial system doesn't work for two out of three citizens. And it doesn't work not only because the processes are too slow, but because for the vast majority of Italians the law is not the same for everyone.
