Repubblica wants to throw a party in Meloni
What does Repubblica write again while Meloni confesses that he isn't having fun but he isn't bored at Palazzo Chigi either. Damato's Scratches
Not even Republic Day has attenuated the obsession of a certain anti-fascism towards Giorgia Meloni, guest of Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale, among the halls and gardens. Stefano Cappellini, who evidently competes on the pages of Repubblica , the paper one, with Massimo Giannini for the primacy of aversion to the prime minister, described and commented on his presence, participation and so on at the party on the Hill in this way: "After all, a He had already created the Republic, the Italian Social Republic, RSI, and it was enough to change one letter to have the mother, or father, party of Fdi", that is, of the brothers of Italy.
“He” is of course Benito Mussolini. The changed "letter" is M – again like Mussolini – which would have allowed the transition from RSI to the acronym of the Social Movement: MSI. It all comes back to Cappellini's imagination and so on. Who didn't even let himself be distracted by the dress Meloni had just put on, rushing to the party at the Quirinale, to forget the combat outfit, so to speak, left in Piazza del Popolo, also in Rome. Where the prime minister was haranguing the crowd of voters for the European vote next Saturday and Sunday. A rally in which Cappellini managed to glimpse "the truncheon, only dialectical, for goodness' sake". The truncheon was evidently felt, again metaphorically, in the cry raised under the Pincio by Meloni towards the very distant secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein to make her dissociate herself at least from the left-wing candidate for the presidency of the new European Commission who had just denied the Italian prime minister the right to feel democratic.
Nothing. Elly not only did not defend her – just as she did not defend Meloni from the "bitch", "stracciarola" etc. attributed at the time to the prime minister by the Piddino governor of Calabria Vincenzo De Luca – but she added her own accusation to the political rival of "taking away freedom" from Italians, including the premiership, separation of judicial careers and more. It's anti-fascism, baby.
The ironic question addressed to Meloni, right in the Quirinale gardens, by an apparently witty Francesco Rutelli also belongs somewhat to this obsessive trend: "Are you having fun?", evidently in and around Palazzo Chigi. And she: "I'm not bored, but there's a difference between I'm not bored and I'm having fun."
Rutelli wasn't even bored when he was mayor of Rome and then vice president of the Council and minister of Romano Prodi and finally co-founder of the Democratic Party. From which the post-communists made him escape, without ever turning him back, when they decided to make that party only or above all the continuation of the PCI. It was too much even for Rutelli, of Radical-Pannellian origin or background.
