Giorgia Meloni’s party on the Republic Day
Only the Imperial Forums were missing from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Damato's Scratches
With that bottle of water on her mouth like a girl at the stadium or in the disco, albeit with the head of state Sergio Mattarella who looked at her smiling and understanding as he does with almost all the measures that arrive at the Quirinale from Palazzo Chigi and he subscribes, the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was not exactly in top style yesterday in the setting of the military parade of the Republic Day at the Imperial Forums. But it was equally his happy first time in that place, and in that role, perhaps even more protagonist or in any case observed than the President of the Republic himself, who arrived martially in front of the authorities' rostrum in the open car next to Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, moreover, a friend and party colleague of the premier.
"Who would have thought that?", Meloni herself asked herself, arriving instead on foot on site, responding with gestures of greeting and thanksgiving to the crowd that greeted her, not at all convinced of assisting and participating in what today the usual Fatto Quotidiano defined Republic Day on its entire front page, yes, but "the Ukrainian one" in a "June 2 of war". A Ukraine also helped by Italy to resist Russian aggression but which would be a "terrorist" state, therefore not at all deserving of political and much less military support.
But it is precisely this way of representing the facts that contributed in a decisive way, I believe, to Meloni and his coalition winning last year's political elections, to gaining more and more credit abroad, on the western front, and extends life to his government, no matter how many efforts some of his center-right allies can, want and manage to make, to complicate his life, even replacing the divided and increasingly weak oppositions. Or for how many mistakes Meloni herself can make, please.
Meloni is now in her seat at Palazzo Chigi, or positions of the ceremonies in which she participates, as opposed to her antagonist Elly Schlein at the secretary of the Democratic Party, especially after having ruinously lost her first appointments with the polls, in the local elections in May . Even Vauro, the cartoonist of Fatto Quotidiano , today represents the premier in the armchair who asks in Roman dialect "And who moves?" à la Schlein who had challenged his critics and adversaries after the fiasco in the cities to "make themselves comfortable", that is, not to annoy her by being too close to her.
On the Secolo XIX instead Stefano Rolli represents Schlein, alone at the "table of the oppositions", who says to the waiter ready to serve her: "Aspect of the people". Perhaps the president of the 5 Star Movement Giuseppe Conte or Carlo Calenda and Matteo Renzi, as the former group leader of the Chamber of Deputies Graziano Delrio hoped for in the Democratic Party, in an opposing tactical and strategic vision, although the two actors of the so-called third pole spend their days and their nights arguing with each other.
