Rome, June 22 (LaPresse) – “I believe it is becoming increasingly clear how, at this moment, Donald Trump represents an idea of capitalism that is incompatible with democracy, one that believes everything can be bought and sold, that there should no longer be any rules of any kind, no international or diplomatic space capable of establishing common rules, to the point of having legitimized war as a tool for regulating relations between states. This is even creating the paradox in the world that the only expenditure that is increasing is military spending.” This was stated by CGIL secretary Maurizio Landini, speaking about the proposal for a wealth tax and the risk of capital flight on the sidelines of the event “Legality and Public Procurement: the new EU directive.” “From a certain point of view, the government must not pretend it just fell from the sky this morning. They have always indicated the Trump model as one that should be brought to Italy and Europe as well. The results we are seeing are these. I consider the words used by Trump unacceptable,” Landini underlined, “and I do not accept that he can think of judging the entire world according to his own point of view. But we cannot pretend not to know that this government has been part of that political project and of the redefinition of relations around the world.”
