FOUR-MINUTES LONG STANDING OVATION FOR PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA. Yesterday, 7 December 2022, Maestro Riccardo Chailly inaugurated the 2022/2023 season at La Scala in Milan, and conducted Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”. Upon his entrance to the “Royal Box”, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was welcomed by a four-minutes long standing ovation. The audience, 2,000 selected guests (politicians, artists, Nobel Prize winners, musicians, journalists, etc.) kept on shouting ‘“GRAZIE PRESIDENTE” and “BRAVO”. Next to President Mattarella, you can see the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the Lord Mayor of Milan, the President of the Italian Senate and the Italian Prime Minister. Immediately after, Maestro Chailly conducted the Italian national hymn AND the European Union hymn. To remind you, President Mattarella was re-elected on 29 January 2022, after SEVEN voting rounds, where none of the candidates received the required vote quorum...
LIVING SPACE (RESILIENCE) By Caecilia Johanna van Peski Peski, C.J. van (2024). Leefruimte (Veerkracht). In: Marineblad (KVMO) 5 – 2024/134, pp. 18-19. Jerusalem, Israel, June 16, 2024 “ Ibrahim, your bird is in a cage that is much too small!”, I exclaim to my Palestinian friend. We are drinking tea together this morning on the sidewalk in front of his shop. I measure the cage with the wooden bars by eye. A carpenter’s eye is not needed for this assessment; anyone can see that the cage is much too small for the bird. The animal hops nervously back and forth on its tiny stick. A few centimetres to the left, a few centimetres to the right, there is no more room to move. The bird cannot even spread its wings; the confines of the cage that is too narrow do not allow that. ‘ What kind of bird is it?’ I ask further, while I watch the restless hopping back and forth of the bird. ‘A rose-finch,’ Ibrahim answers. ‘Do you see the red head, chest and rump? Beauti...
Il 21 aprile, Il Presidente del Senato Ignazio La Russa ha dichiarato: “Nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Dopo le tante polemiche, ha rincarato la dose: “Non mi pento, riaffermo che nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Affermazione terrificante! Tutte le critiche, pienamente giustificate, da parte della stampa e da tutti i partiti politici, deputati e senatori, non hanno accennato alla cosa più ovvia: COSTITUZIONE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA Disposizioni Transitorie e Finali XII “È vietata la riorganizzazione, sotto qualsiasi forma, del disciolto partito fascista.” Il Presidente del Senato è la seconda carica della Repubblica, e, in caso di gravi impedimenti del Presidente Mattarella, potrebbe essere chiamato in qualsiasi momento a sostituirlo. Articolo 86 della Costituzione: “Le funzioni del Presidente della Repubblica, in ogni caso che egli non possa adempierle, sono esercitate dal Presidente del Senato.” Il Presidente della Repubblica è il GARANTE della ...

Articolo della mia carissima amica, e compagna di partito D66-Sociali Liberali (Paesi Bassi), Comandante della Marina Reale in missione a Ramallah, West Bank. Chiarissimo messaggio Gerusalemme et Orbi. SPAZIO VIVIBILE (RESILIENZA) Di Caecilia Johanna van Peski Traduzione italiana di “Peski, C.J. van (2024). Leefruimte (Veerkracht). Marineblad (KVMO) 5 – 2024/134, pp. 18-19”. Gerusalemme, Israele, 16 giugno 2024 “ Ibrahim, il tuo uccello è in una gabbia troppo piccola!”, esclamo al mio amico palestinese. Questa mattina stiamo bevendo il tè insieme sul marciapiede davanti al suo negozio. Misuro la gabbia con le sbarre di legno a occhio. Non serve l’occhio di un falegname per questa valutazione; chiunque può vedere che la gabbia è troppo piccola per l’uccello. L’animale saltella nervosamente avanti e indietro sul suo piccolo bastone. Pochi centimetri a sinistra, pochi centimetri a destra, non c’è più spazio per muoversi. L’uccello non riesce nemmeno a spiegare le ali...
