Anti Meloni roundabouts on Meloni the Amerikana
What some anti-Meloni columnists write after Giorgia Meloni's visit to the White House. Damato's Scratches
Returning with his little Geneva from the United States, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rained down, not just like hail – topical in these summer times – but almost the criticisms and distrust of habitual critics such as Ezio Mauro in Repubblica and Massimo Cacciari in La Stampa . The first accused her of leading, even after the meeting with the American president and the appreciation she received, a "right firm in no man's land". The second reproached her for "not yet being up to her goals".
THE THOUGHT OF AMATO ON THE RIGHT OF MELONI
Unlike the former director Mauro, however, on the Republic itself Giuliano Amato, a president emeritus of a bit of everything, from the Council of Ministers to the Constitutional Court, has hoped – literally – that Meloni's conservative right will be part of the majority in Parliament renewed next year: not to replace – he specified – but in addition to the socialists allied with the popular ones. It would be an "emergency" majority, as was the one created in Italy between Christian Democrats and Communists in the years of lead to fight terrorism. Which was then what Red Brigade members of the right and left resorted to and today it is the "even worse" one practiced in an "indiscriminate" way by the climate with those "not tennis but ice" balls that fall on us. "Climate terrorism – said Amato – cannot be defeated without a uniform political voice" and a radical change in general life habits, no longer abusing the territories on which we live.
Interrupted by the interviewer who is convinced that Meloni's ties with the Spanish right-wing Vox, fresh from a sensational electoral defeat, do not make the Italian premier reliable even on the ground he theorized and hoped for, Amato replied: "In the Vox program it is written that the ecological transition is an invention of the elites to take money away from the popular classes. It seems to me that in Italy these extremist positions are confined to the headlines of the newspaper La Verità ”. Which is not the official organ of Meloni's party. Nor does its director Maurizio Belpietro frankly seem to aspire to make it become.
THE AUTONOMISM OF THE LEAGUE
On the other hand, Matteo Salvini's League has been worrying Amato for some time more than Meloni's party for the claimed acceleration of the project of the so-called differentiated autonomies. Which the former Prime Minister deems "unconstitutional" in the contents and timing desired by the Northern League, so much so that he resigned with other authoritative exponents of the commission of experts that Minister Roberto Calderoli intended to use to carry out his bill.
In short, after those of Henry Kissinger in the United States, Meloni also receives the advice and wishes of the Italian emeritus Giuliano Amato, not dissimilar – I think – from others provided for some time behind the scenes, before and after the last political elections, by his direct predecessor of the premier herself at Palazzo Chigi Mario Draghi.
