How and why Mattarella blesses the resistance of the Ukrainians

How and why Mattarella blesses the resistance of the Ukrainians

What Mattarella said about the Resistance. The Scratches of Damato

Evidently convinced, also based on the reactions in the political world, that the already strong intervention at the meeting at the Quirinale with the military leaders and partisan and combatant associations on the eve of the liberation party was not enough, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella there participated yesterday by delivering an even more incisive speech in favor of the Ukrainians in Acerra, where the Germans made one of their usual havoc of occupation. For which, attacked by the Russians and resistant with Western aid, he evoked the very popular song of the Italian partisans Bella Ciao, which is now adopted all over the world by those who fight for freedom. It is as if Mattarella had sung it, and not only evoked it, in the wake of an interview with life senator Liliana Segre explicitly mentioned by him, also convinced, with her dramatic human experience, that the Ukrainians were attacked by the Russians as others were by the Nazis in the last century.

Ignored, or censored, on the first page of the Fatto Quotidiano in the first speech at the Quirinale, this time Mattarella has earned the attention of Marco Travaglio. Who, still displaced and irritated by his confirmation at the Presidency of the Republic, which he had not put into the account by betting on the unshakable unwillingness to re-election, the director of Fatto Quotidiano for retaliation against the support of the Ukrainians, and the condemnation of Putin's Russia, he accused Mattarella of the western bombing raids on Belgrade in 1999. The current head of state was then the deputy prime minister of Massimo D'Alema's first government. He later became Minister of Defense.

Also on the Fatto Quotidiano today, the meeting at a political level, and not just a military one, organized in a NATO base in Germany was dismissed as a "war rally". Those that have been taking place in the Kremlin for more than two months, with Putin blessed by the Patriarch of Moscow rightly mocked by Emilio Giannelli in the front page cartoon of today's Corriere della Sera , should instead be considered peace rallies according to the logic of the newspaper of substantially reference of the movement or party of Giuseppe Conte. That with his stance against the "extremist" Atlanticism of his successor at Palazzo Chigi and the Italian military aid to Ukraine, he has earned, again in the Travaglio newspaper, the complacent qualification of the "Red Count". Who is "more with Bersani than with Letta", the secretary of the Democratic Party disputed yesterday in Milan in the red square of the Liberation Day, together with the Jewish representation.

Well, this recent edition of the liberation party, between Sergio Mattarella of Acerra and Enrico Letta of Milan, with all the rest that preceded and accompanied it, served to better define, or to make people read and see more clearly , the political landscape of Italy on the eve of the administrative elections in June and in view of next year's general political elections. Unless the "Conte rosso" – today more in tune or less disturbed by the "guarantor" Beppe Grillo, who became a paid consultant for communication – and others on the right who have already collaborated with him at Palazzo Chigi, that is, the leaguers of Matteo Salvini, will not be able to bring the renewal of the Chambers forward to the autumn of this 2022. Who will live will see, as they say on these occasions.
