Because even on the left there is a little snort on Lamorgese

Because even on the left there is a little snort on Lamorgese

The title of the newspaper Domani is not exaggerated, which says, after having long defended it from Salvini's attacks: "Minister Lamorgese is now a problem for the Draghi government". The Scratches of Damato

I do not know whether to attribute the chills I am feeling most to that "Italy at risk of paralysis" realistically shouted on the front page of the press – on the eve of the application of the regulations on the mandatory green-pass in the workplace, contested by dockers, truck drivers and what else can really paralyze the same economy that the government would like to free up with the failure to transport goods – or to the spectacle offered to the Chamber by the Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese. Which has too candidly motivated with the fear of the reactions of the "followers" the renunciation of the arrest, arrest and so on of one who in the square had just indicated last Saturday the headquarters of the CGIL as a target of the protest demonstration. This means that in a square, in fact, you can say and order anything, then executed with a lot of assault and devastation, in the certainty of being safe.

But not only in the square that Giuliano Castellino metaphorically disguised as Masaniello was able to do his convenience. He also did it on the street, personally leading the procession also directed towards the headquarters of the CGIL, even escorted by police men with whom occasionally someone treated detours and the like. Even there, on the street, we were therefore afraid to stop him, when the risks – let's call them that – were lower than in a crowded Roman square like that of the Popolo.

Giorgia Meloni, to whom it must not have seemed true to free herself from the media and political siege triggered by her relations with the extreme right of Castellino and comrades, threw herself on the imprudence – other than prudence – of the minister to denounce the return to something that has already been seen, even with the bombs and the dead: “The strategy of tension”, aimed at putting right or left in the corner from time to time. And to sidetrack investigations and magistrates to achieve the effect or targets on duty.

It may be, for heaven's sake, that Meloni has exaggerated in tone and in words. It may be that the minister has only suffered, not promoted that strategy that resulted in the assault on the CGIL and the reaction of a certain policy. According to which the responsibility for the riots was ultimately attributable to the political right of Meloni unable to take from the extreme right of the square all the distances required by the anti-fascist Constitution and so on, starting or talking. But in the role of an Interior Minister – and this naturally also applies to those who preceded Luciana Lamorgese at the Viminale – undergoing the strategy of tension is as serious as promoting it. That's why you get chills just thinking about it.

The former president of the Senate Marcello Pera, connected with a television lounge, rightly exhorted last night not to ask too much of the Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who already is also the Minister of Economy, Foreign Affairs, Health, etc. an alleged or real insufficiency of the holders of those dicasteries. And he cannot now also become the Minister of the Interior when, moreover, he is asked for "pacification" by the majority, at the same time and paradoxically both by Beppe Grillo and by Matteo Salvini, just received anew at Palazzo Chigi. What is certain is that the headline of the newspaper Domani which says, after having long defended it from Salvini's attacks: " Minister Lamorgese is now a problem for the Draghi government ". I hope it doesn't stay that way for long.
