The minister of I would like but not Pos. All the embarrassment of Giorgetti in defending Giorgetti’s manoeuvre

Pnrr, cash and Superbonus. Thus the head of the MEF criticizes the budget law, but also praises it. “Don’t go to restaurants that don’t let you pay by debit card,” he says, after raising the limit on electronic payments. Slothful and astute, always apparently more virtuous than the coarseness that circumstances force him to commit. Tensions with Brussels and the recall of the Court of Auditors

Sooner or later we will have to coin the noun: “Giorgetism”. It will be exported, even: type felliniesque, just summon him and everyone will understand. That practice of appearing extremely sharp in defending reckless choices, prudence in the ways exhibited to protect the bizarreness of the actions performed, being immune to oneself, refuting oneself in the very instant in which one’s own coherence is reaffirmed. Perhaps here lies, in this extreme version of Italian cunning, the ineffable ability of Giancarlo Giorgetti to rise above his shortcomings. Otherwise how to explain the fact that, in presenting the budget law which increases the exemption limit for payment with the POS, the Minister of Economy manages to launch an appeal to boycott merchants who do not use the POS? It really happened. Yesterday, in Montecitorio. And in that scene, all of Giorgetti’s embarrassment at having to defend the choices of the Minister of Economy took shape.
