Roma, 9 giu – Che sia una super-loggia, un ritrovo di burattinai globali, o un semplice “forum per discussioni informali”, come la definisce il suo sito (sì, hanno un sito ufficiale…), l’annuale riunione del club Bilderberg fa sempre rumore. Forse troppo, per essere davvero quell’evento decisivo che molti credono.
Di sicuro è comunque un buon test per verificare il grado di entratura nei giri che contano di ogni singolo esponente della politica, del giornalismo o della finanza. Quest’anno il club si riunisce Telfs-Buchen, in Austria dall’11 al 14 giugno prossimi.
Cinque gli italiani invitati: ci saranno il presidente di Fiat Chrysler Automobiles John Elkann, la giornalista Lilli Gruber (che era già stata invitata nel 2013) e il re dell’acciaio italo-argentino Gianfelice Rocca, poi Mario Monti e l’ex presidente di Telecom, Franco Bernabé, che siedono nel comitato direttivo dell’associazione.
Tra i temi in agenda, oltre ai classici (elezioni in Usa, globalizzazione, Iran, Russia, Grecia…) anche l’intelligenza artificiale, la cybersicurezza, la minaccia delle armi chimiche.
Per il resto, massima riservatezza. Una riservatezza che, al solito, non verrà meno fino all’ultimo. Provare a entrare, a fare domande, a intrufolarsi significa dover fare i conti con un cordone di sicurezza determinatissimo.
Tra gli ospiti internazionali, il primo ministro olandese Mark Rutte, il presidente dell’Eurogruppo Jeroen Dijsselbloem, il presidente austriaco Heinz Fischer, il premier finlandese Alexander Stubb, José Manuel Barroso, Henry Kissinger, Michael O’Leary (il padrone di Ryanair). In totale ci saranno 140 invitati da 22 paesi differenti.
