Se a frenare l'Italia sono l’eccesso di vincoli, burocrazia e "ideologia verde" dell’Europa, perché Spagna, Danimarca, Polonia o Grecia continuano a crescere rapidamente sotto lo stesso regime di regole?

Italian war reporter Francesca Mannocchi:
“What Israel is doing in southern Lebanon is, quite simply, no different from what Russian troops have been doing in Ukraine. It’s the same thing...
Since 2022, have we ever read a headline saying “Putin is building a security buffer zone in Mariupol”? No. We’ve always called it what it is: a military occupation. Yet when Israeli troops do the exact same thing in southern Lebanon, but we call it a “security buffer zone.”
That framing clearly shapes perception. We are talking about the same dynamics, the same methods, the same displacement of civilians, the same destruction. And yet, on one side it is widely seen as a war crime; on the other, as a legitimate security operation.
So why the difference? Because in recent years there has been a gradual erosion in how international law is perceived and applied. And it has its convenient enemies. Putin is an easy one: no one would seriously argue that the Russian Federation is a democracy.
Israel, on the other hand, continues to be described, and accepted, as a democracy, even when that label is increasingly contested. Why? Because this implicates us. While we no longer feel allied, morally or politically, with Russia, many in the West still see themselves as morally and militarily aligned with Israel.”
Giorgia Meloni is a much over-rated politician, especially abroad. Since coming to power, she and her government managed to keep off the radar screen of the bond market vigilantes, but they have not solved a single of Italy festering structural economic problems, like bureaucratic inertia and weak capital markets. This has been a country with practically zero productivity growth for a quarter of a century. Instead, like other failing Italian prime ministers before her, she wasted her political capital on another silly electoral reform, which has now been defeated. Our lead story this morning.
