Blog: La follia di grandezza del re di Tonga  



8c4b46e565ec178df936938459bd4b5f.jpgNel prossimo 1° di agosto, il re George Tupou V sarà coronato alle isole Tonga, ex protettorato britannico dal 1900 al 1970. Se l'establishment ne è felice, la popolazione è piuttosto preoccupata. La cerimonia dovrebbe costare un terzo dell'annuale aiuto economico versato all'arcipelago. L'incoronazione di George Tupou V, promette di essere la festa del secolo, ma sono i poveri cittadini del suo minuscolo regno del Pacifico-sud che ne pagheranno il prezzo.
