Il Foglio di Ferrara wraps Domani and Repubblica on Giorgia Meloni
What Il Foglio wrote about Giorgia Meloni and beyond. Damato's Scratches
Of all the Italian newspapers, the one most embarrassed in the face of Gorgia Meloni and his government is Il Foglio founded at the time by Giuliano Ferrara and still inspired by him, albeit directed by Claudio Cerasa.
I speak of the most embarrassed newspaper, not embarrassing because this title belongs, in alphabetical order and not only, to Domani and to Repubblica , the new and former newspaper of Carlo De Benedetti: the first having begun, and the second pursuing it, a meticulous exploration of the family of the premier, among all the folds and folds, real or presumed, of its various original or derivative branches. Nothing so relevant or suspicious as to have intrigued some prosecutors has yet come out, but on this terrain the hopes of those interested in the scrapping of the moment – as we know – are always the last to die.
I was talking about the Foglio founded and still inspired by Giuliano Ferrara, declared elector – at least last year, on the occasion of the renewal of the Chambers – of Enrico Letta's Democratic Party which subsequently passed from hand, and gender, to Elly Schlein.
Even at the cost of alarming his friend and somehow also gala collaborator Carlo Rossella, recently pleased with the "Ducia" given to Meloni from time to time by a Ferrara dissatisfied with the increasingly right-wing versions of the original center-right improvised by Silvio Berlusconi in 1994 , Giuliano made his "snatch" last Monday, May 15th. "The miracle of this yellow-blue Rome", was the headline on the front page of a comment on the visit just made to the two banks of the Tiber by the Ukrainian president Vladymir Zelenscky. And immediately below, well explaining his disenchanted satisfaction: “The capital of ambiguity transformed into the capital of the political, military and diplomatic counter-offensive of the Ukrainians. Congratulations to Meloni, and to the need for legitimacy that a Euro-Atlantic right has given us". Adjective, the latter, very dear to the founder of the Foglio , who learned as a child with his brother Giorgio, who unfortunately has just passed away, to distrust Moscow growing up there with the family sent there by the PCI with the appointment of his father Maurizio Ferrara as correspondent of the Unit , before making him director and promoting him to a more wholly political career as local administrator and then as a parliamentarian. Graduality in that party was a rule that was very difficult to circumvent. Only Enrico Berlinguer would have been allowed to be born – Emanuele Macaluso joked – a member of the national leadership of the PCI.
The "miracle" of Meloni contemplated and described on 15 May was compensated three days later, again on the front page, by an ironic participation in the campaign by Domani and Repubblica on the family of the "Meloni serpents", protagonist of "an extraordinary comedy at Italian, indeed Italo-Spanish", made up of "intrigues", of a "mother's boyfriend who becomes a daughter's boyfriend", and so on in the perspective of a 1996 Virzì-style film entitled "August Holidays".
