Unemployment rates are high burst in North Africa where young people from days down protest in the streets of the city. Young people in these countries are many and, for example, in Algeria reach 75 percent. The governments of those nations seem more frail of our Europeans, partly because the Welfare has always been almost nonexistent. But it is hard to avoid making a comparison, what happened to us, in Italy, where the latest data on unemployment youth give us an almost thirty per cent, all is quiet? Perhaps because the percentage of young people is exactly the reverse of that of Algeria? Maybe because ours is a country of old men who keep their children and grandchildren? Maybe because we have, for a while, 'a decent welfare state? In the days of our holidays, between Christmas and New Year, it happened that a friend of old age has surprised me by telling, with obvious collusion, the pains of a young man newly enrolled university and "abandoned" by the "girlfriend". Well, the very young are shot down, wrote: "I already have a life of shit: I have to get up six in the morning to catch the bus and reach the seat of power, and now she leaves me .... ". The faculty building is located about 15 km. From his house. A boy and an elderly lady of high culture: this struck me so much.
And even in my heart I gave some reason to almost my age Silvio Berlusconi when the year-end press conference, said that the university has remained (as so many did if the university could do it) with a thousand jobs. I wonder: why this young man, instead of thinking about the lack of legitimate hope for the future in this Italian company so obviously in decline, you feel deprived della vita perché si deve alzare la mattina alle sei ,non per andare a raccogliere agrumi a qualche euro al giorno, bensì per recarsi in una sede universitaria? E perché l’amica dei suoi genitori, ex giovane di sinistra, lo avvolge simbolicamente in un abbraccio di comprensione annientando, dentro di lei, ogni altra riflessione persino politica come un tempo, lontano, avrebbe fatto?
