This is why several minor sovereignisms have been born in Europe – and also Trump’s ‘major’ sovereignism in the States. A new vision of the world that manifests itself with multiple faces but which, in reality, operates in a very simple and tangible way: let’s take for example the ‘hot’ topic of immigration: one thing is the acceptance of diversity – the foundation of all civil coexistence – another thing is the compulsive magnification, to the bitter end, of diversity and the rights of minorities. People are fed up with these demonic paradoxes.

It was customary for the eve of St. John to celebrate and light bonfires of or brooms in the city, in the squares and in the countryside and on the hills around the city to celebrate the summer solstice. They were the ‘fires of rejoicing’ which, recalling their pagan origins, attributed sacredness to light.

Then a restoring sleep in the lost cavities of a flattened soul, a repaired reset that will admirably grant second possibilities.
