“The U.S. elections are very important because the U.S. is a super power and gives the compass to others. Biden, whether because of age or some health problems, will have made his assessments with respect to what is required for a grueling election campaign. I reflect: one of the reasons one should vote is to support something or someone, but today one may vote against. In the U.S. in the end I don't know whether the 'for' vote or the 'against' vote will prevail.” So said Economy and Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, at the Giffoni Film Festival, responding to children's questions about the upcoming U.S. elections. The Economy Minister also spoke on the Middle East: “I believe that above all the United States, which has always dictated the line on this matter, made the Israeli state understand that a certain repressive turn could not be accepted,” but without intervention by the international community the situation will not be resolved, and this is to the detriment of the peoples who pay the terrible consequences.” “Today,” the minister said finally, addressing the audience of young people, ”politics has become a matter for social media, where one does not delve into, nor know the interlocutor. This social dimension has impoverished interest in politics”.
