Dagospia, Meloni, Draghi and Monti. What happens in the D’Agostino house?

Dagospia, Meloni, Draghi and Monti. What happens in the D'Agostino house?

The Dagospia site is always at the center of the attention of politicians and companies. The letter from Claudio Trezzano

Dear director,

in your tweeting frenzy about , to recall only the most obvious and sensational cases in recent times – dedicated with absolute surprise to ENAV, you have not made a rather legitimate logical step.

Enav, despite being listed, is controlled by the Ministry of Economy, and among other things I glimpsed a nice banner of another Treasury company on Dagospia a few days ago: in short, the saga that has been talked about for some time with a vague hope that would – and I say would – come from the upper floors of Palazzo Chigi not to support too much the web newspaper founded and directed by Roberto D'Agostino is articulated with another episode that could be the sign of a healthy turning point.

The reasoning is not far-fetched, dear director. I know, it's a mere reasoning, precisely, which is why I didn't propose a piece to you as usual. But the story deserves at least a little letter from me. Because perhaps you don't remember – considering that you think, pass through and title about thirty pieces every day – but Start Magazine talked about it in several articles: Pasqualino Monti, the CEO of Enav, was strongly supported by the Brothers of Italy and is also very welcome by the League; they also tell me that one of his closest collaborators has consolidated and public relationships with very important exponents of Fdi such as Ignazio La Russa.

I remind you of what I wrote recently in an article on Startmag which you titled as follows (I underline it for the readers because I almost always don't appreciate too much your ironic headlines full of mischief): " Enav, this is how Pasqualino Monti navigates between sky and sea ".

Pasqualino Monti is not only CEO of Enav and president of the Eastern Sicilian sea and, in the academic field, external member of the board of directors of the University of Palermo, but he is also a legislator, given his contribution in the upcoming regulatory reorganization of Italian ports destined to trash the '94 reform and which could lead, as the bishops' newspaper underlines, to the establishment of a single public joint-stock company. And he is probably also applying to lead the next organization in the pipeline. After all, he himself says to the Truth: "One scheme could be that of Enav of which I am CEO, but immersed in the peculiarities of the port system"… And who knows them better, moreover, of both categories?

I'll read you what Secolo XIX , a Genoese newspaper and, as such, an expert on maritime matters, writes on the matter: "What Pasqualino Monti has in mind, and which judging by the consensus obtained from many of the professionals present at the fifth edition of the "We, the Mediterranean" conference cannot be underestimated by the government (represented in the room by deputy minister Edoardo Rixi) it is not a reform: it is a revolution".

Well, director, last time you didn't want to believe that the two positions could be combined not so much because of regulatory obstacles, but because, you told me on the phone, it is impossible to manage one and the other. For us, after all, a 24-hour day is not enough to do our job… Here I show you that he is carrying out both of them profitably (need I perhaps remind you that for the Sicilians he is the miracle man?), that he is active even in the reform process and also finds time for us journalists, while remaining transversal, as per its nature, having presences both in La Verità , a newspaper close to the centre-right, and in Avvenire , a newspaper which is certainly not right-wing, let's say.

A transversality that is also political, considering that it was wanted at all costs by FdI and yet today it is in full agreement with the Northern League deputy minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Edoardo Rixi, on the reform of the ports . Until recently, relationships were very intense with the Melonians. L'Espresso wrote some time ago that "Pasqualino Monti, just appointed by the government as CEO of the National Agency for Flight Assistance, had Andrea Giambruno as moderator in two recent conferences of his Port Authority of Palermo".

In short, I would say that I hope – rather than foresee – that thanks to Pasqualino Monti, as well as to the director of Tg1 Gianmarco Chiocci ( on whom Dagospia always has an appropriate eye ), D'Agostino's site will be able to review the a priori anti-Meloni positions with tones and accents unusual for a prime minister. Perhaps some positive signs are already visible: yesterday I think I noticed a piece not lying on Draghi. Who knows if the spin of the Melonians is starting to make inroads in the D'Agostino household too.

Greetings and sorry for the inconvenience,

Claudio Trezzano
