Because Salvini and Meloni’s karaoke was out of tune
“Frankly, that one-day postponed party didn't seem like a great idea either, and with that karaoke.” Damato's Scratches
It will also be true, as the present deputy editor of the Giornale Nicola Porro pointed out, backed at a distance by the director of Libero , Alessandro Sallusti, that it is difficult to think of a majority and a government overwhelmed by internal conflicts after Matteo Salvini's birthday party as the one organized by his girlfriend Francesca Verdini in the Como area, with the participation of Giorgia Meloni, Silvio Berlusconi, family members and a hundred friends.
It may be true, I repeat, but frankly neither to me – nor to the oppositions, who protested, perhaps exaggerating in the "delirium" denounced by the Giornale for a birthday transformed into a "crime" – that one-day postponed party seemed like a great idea, especially with the karaoke that crowned or accompanied it. In particular, the famous and unfortunate Marinella by Fabrizio de Andrè was sung, at least unsuitable for the circumstances, being a Calabrian emigrant who ended up a prostitute and died drowned in a northern river.
THE CUTRO MASSACRE
The "circumstances" that would have recommended at least another repertoire are naturally those of the massacre of migrants in the waters of Cutro, of the coffins that the premier did not have time to visit even during the trip to the place of an extraordinary Council of Ministers, of the protests still underway in Calabria and elsewhere and of a difficult press conference, let's say, of the prime minister herself, again in Cutro, unhappily closed – I would say – on a political and even human level by the vice president of the Council Salvini claiming his so-called closed ports of 2019. And the lowest number of deaths at sea with his management of the Interior Ministry, at the time of participation in the first government of the grillino Giuseppe Conte.
AN EMBARRASSING KARAOKE
Well, net – I repeat – of all the exaggerations in the protests of the oppositions, including the "malice" of the day of the Fatto Quotidiano on the imaginary karaoke to the sound of the "barca va", I think that a little embarrassment can be expected from the leaders of government and majority who flocked to Salvini's "first 50 years" party. Whose fiancée and organizer that rascal Giuliano Ferrara had yesterday praised on the first page of the Paper , attributing to her the ability to soften the "grim" Matteo, having his "immaculate heart tempered by the use of the rosary and the Virgin Mary as keychains by part of the Minister of Transport and Deputy Prime Minister".
Luckily – I would say – that this time the front page of Avvenire , the newspaper of the Italian bishops, did not join the opposition. Which has left hidden or amortized inside the news of the party and the related controversies, as well as the manifesto and, on the pro-government front, La Verità by Maurizio Belpietro, Il Tempo and the newspapers of the Riffeser Monti group. Who have defined the controversy as "grotesque", without however contesting it on the front page like Il Giornale in its showy opening.
