Every day, political profiles are confronted; before touching America, they turn back, being realized within that cliché. We are mad and lost borders in this 25-hour whirlpool that is taking everything with it, drawn by our great need to change the force and vote of governance, and which ends up as a third force or about the same vote with Italy and which ends up as a third force or about the same vote with Italy [?].
