Ducetta or duciona? Who gets rid of Giorgia Meloni

Ducetta or duciona? Who gets rid of Giorgia Meloni

Mid-August discussions on Giorgia Meloni's decisionism. Damato's Scratches

If only for chronological reasons, having been published after the last interviews with the prime minister, it can be excluded that on the "decisionism" shown by Giorgia Meloni claiming to have chosen alone, and therefore imposed on others, the taxation of bank extra profits could have influence a merciless article dedicated to the ministers in office by the director Claudio Cerasa on the August 15th sheet . Which is worth a bit double the ordinary due to the 24-hour absence from the newsstands imposed by the newspapers for the major summer holiday inherited from the Roman emperors. That in mid-August they generously freed a few prisoners also from the temptation, which must have been strong and widespread even in those times, to kill themselves between bars.

I hope that this historical recollection does not suggest to the reputable Keeper of the Seals Carlo Nordio, on whom Cerasa suspended judgment in his "pagellone dei ministeri", albeit for other reasons yet, another unfortunate outing like the one on the Nuremberg defendants who managed to kill themselves in his cell despite military surveillance, as if to somehow justify, even in a "burden of pain" already felt at the time when he had been forced to deal with it as a public prosecutor, the too frequent suicides in Italian prisons. Where, in truth, people also die of hunger and thirst strikes, evidently not having all the prisoners the media fortune of the anarchist Andrea Cospito, recently saved from the attempt to let himself die by fasting in protest against his detention in the harsh regime of the famous article 41 bis.

Often forced in less than a year of government to put "the patch" – as the editor of the Foglio observed – on imprudent or distracted ministers and vice presidents of the Council, including his brother-in-law Francesco Lollobrigida, who managed to occupy up to half of their time to participate in the so-called political debate on issues unrelated to her competences, Meloni could be understood and even justified on the path of decision-making she has just taken in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors. Among which the friend – I assume – Flavia Perina, former director of the Secolo d'Italia , the official newspaper that belonged to the MSI and post-MSI right-wing, put Bettino Craxi's good soul in first place. Who, even before being liquidated by politics through the courts, had ended up with his boots on and his head down in the cartoons of the newspapers during his stay at Palazzo Chigi. Given the frequent use she makes of trousers, Meloni also appeared in Perina at the risk of Ducesque cartoons, complete with boots. Already someone, moreover, calls her "ducetta" among the complaints of the unsuspecting Luca Ricolfi. Who on Libero accused the left, well known to him and often even voted for, of only knowing how to paint black and demonize the opponents of the moment, without "the democratic maturity" to understand the reasons for their electoral successes.
