Does La7 in Cairo pamper Conte?

Does La7 in Cairo pamper Conte?

Giuseppe Conte between words, crap and polls. The Scratches of Damato

It must not have been pleasant for Giuseppe Conte to leaf through the newspapers today and find himself misunderstood, at least. In the press , between the front page and the inside, Massimiliano Panarari gave him the "tightrope walker" and the "CamaleConte", variant of the Chameleon, reviewing all his most recent sorties and concluding that "since he became president of the Movimento Cinque Stars the much-invoked relaunch has not yet been seen ”.

Carlo De Benedetti's Il Domani shouted in his face on the front page that "it has always been just a misunderstanding". And with the signature of the director Stefano Feltri he explained : "For some time there was a certain nostalgia for Giuseppe Conte, whose popularity depended above all on the very Italian tendency to pay homage to the powerful on duty and on having found himself leading the country during the pandemic. Now he is back as the leader of the Five Stars, he speaks, writes, does interviews. And at each exit he confirms how unmotivated the esteem he enjoyed was ".

On the sheet they gave him "shameless" in one title – for "having acted as a dummy for Salvini on the" safety decrees "and having now reported errors and failures – and a" ghost "in another for having" disappeared the M5S from elections ”, even renouncing to nominate a pentastellato in the supplementary rounds of Rome on October 3 to replace the deputy grillina Emanuela Del Re, who resigned for an international position. In Siena, where there will also be a vote to replace a resigning parliamentarian, the grillini support the secretary of the Democratic Party covered by a half political anonymity, without a party or coalition initials, with only his name in a dark red circle. On the other hand, the same Count has specified that the privileged relationship established with Enrico Letta does not mean a "strategic alliance" with his party, in spite of the "broad center left" that he hopes every now and then.

But fortunately for Conte there is the 7 of Urbano Cairo with the electoral polls entrusted to Swg, in the last of which the online site of the Fatto Quotidiano was thrown like a fish – and who else? – to announce the great, great news that immediately avenges Conte from his detractors. Between 2 and 30 August as digitized president of the 5 Star Movement, Conte earned him "almost one point" more votes: exactly 0.8 percent, from 15.5 to 16.3. And never mind if it is still more than half less than the Grillini votes in the 2018 general elections.

This 0.8 percent increase in votes in less than a month was thrown in the face by Conte's nostalgics at only 0.1 percent earned by the Democratic Party and 0.2 percent by Forza Italia. We are not talking about the 0.5 per cent less than the Lega, which evidently did not have time to benefit from the appreciation expressed by the Apulian and Piddino governor Michele Emiliano for Matteo Salvini , and 0.2 per cent less than Calenda. And patience – again – for that "Italian left" stable at 2.7 and for Giorgia Meloni's brothers in Italy stable, at the top of the general classification, with their 20.6 percent. It is easy, as you can see, to be satisfied. Indeed, to sing victory. Luckily – I repeat – that the 7 is there, even if it has to do with it up to a certain point, since we cannot doubt the Swg.
