English original of article published in Italian this morning by La Stampa
'...a few Senators to rediscover their spines...' :)))
The Italians, true masters, have coined a precise word to describe the behavior of certain politicians: situazionismo.
It has an ambiguous meaning: the ability to adapt to circumstances, pragmatically; or the ability to exploit events, shamelessly.
Both are expressions of politics at its worst. Politics, with a capital “P,” is something else entirely.
