The right loses through inconclusiveness and irresolution, but the regime press wants more: they want it to be a puppet
There is in Italy a way of providing information, of selling information that even someone like me, in the profession for thirty years, is no longer able to understand to the point that one wonders: is it I who have hallucinations or are they talking ?
On Monday evening Tg2 Post , three newspaper editors, Molinari di Repubblica , Fontana del Corriere and Tamburini del Sole24Ore , all agree: the center-right has lost the administrative offices for its extremist, irresponsible, authoritarian positions to the point that voters do not they followed him more. Sorry, what extremes, what exaggerations? Forza Italia behaves like an offshoot of the Democratic Party, of which it espouses almost every position; the League is inside the government and barely stems its excessive power; Fratelli d'Italia is out but its leader has publicly exposed herself in favor of vaccines and not prejudiced against the Green Pass , at most to be limited. The same can be said of Salvini, known as “the beast” due to his social communication that he would like to be unleashed and frenzied: where, when? One who every day that God sends to earth photographs huge plates of lasagna or culatello like in a Don Camillo film?
Salvini and Meloni, forget Berlusconi for whom the hatred has waned, they are the two most moderate and most attacked politicians in Italy. They collect insults, attacks, threats, their opponents bite them with brothel tones, there are those who want them dead and those in the asylum, those who take it out on their respective children. Fratelli d'Italia was damaged, at least in part, at least in terms of image, by the outbursts of the para-subversive circle of Forza Nuova, yet that was enough to pair Meloni with the worst nostalgic saloino; in the League, Giorgetti has great weight, who is in fact pro-European and Draghi's right arm, whose action he endorses. And they call them exaggerated, do they almost define them as bombers?
Someone like me, after thirty years and passing by profession, struggles to orient himself, does not understand if there is more bad faith or alienation. When it is quite clear that the reason for the massive abstention for the center-right lies in the exact opposite reasons: weak candidates, poorly chosen and late, a wait-and-see opposition, which they then saw and even less appreciated, a sterile entryism , a lack of coordination and quality at the top, and let's put in a disastrous media campaign but certainly not out of excess.
The truth was captured precisely by Daniele Capezzone in his book "For a new right" : the urgency to find a koiné in the sense of a true liberalism, the end of the dirigiste and statist suggestions that still enchant too many on the right, a resolute approach (a la Clint Eastwood), firm, serious. The right loses for its indecision, for its inconclusiveness, for its persistent irresolution. The regime's information knows this but it is not enough.
The mainstream press, everyone has noticed this, is the friend of the jaguar, it is governmental beyond decency, but there is or should be a limit to bias, to lunar interpretations. To define this right, if you prefer center-right, subversive, rowdy, extremist goes beyond the bad conscience, is a propaganda operation that does not even bother to hide its aims. The directors who spoke to the Tg2 Post , one in particular, soon jumped for joy and there were those who spoke of "a great opportunity for the center left to seize".
In the meantime, such informants might begin to worry about their haemorrhages as readers; they could explain why between Repubblica and Stampa they fired embarrassing figures, so far they were, about the defendants at the irregular meeting of the CGIL in support of the left-wing candidate: 100,000 for one newspaper, 200,000 for the other. These newspapers, like others in support of the regime, do not see the mounting repression, the blackmail of the Green Pass (which indeed they exalt), the difficulties of millions of citizens whose lives are reduced to hell, they do not see the progressive erosion of fundamental freedoms , of individual rights, fire hydrants to stifle an already extinguished protest.
They do not see, indeed they see it but they like it very much, the worrying concentration of power in the hands of the Italian prime minister in the total acquiescence of the parties, what disconcerts the international press, increasingly alarmed about Italy's constitutional stability. A zealous way of doing the job that has more and more of China and less and less of the Western tradition. A way that has its responsibilities, and very heavy, in the disastrous management of an emergency that is about to last two years.
Defining Salvini and Meloni as two dangerous madmen is not on the edge of bad faith, it is on the edge of the democratic game because it pretends to neutralize them in their prerogatives, to make them two puppets whose function should be limited to fidgeting in adoration of the regime. At least if they want to become as presentable as the editors like in bleeding of readers.
