I'll tell you about Nicola Morra's morra

What has the grillino Nicola Morra, president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission done?

For once Nicola Morra, president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission of now old and perhaps even abused practice, because every time the institutive law is renewed, controversy arises about its relevance, given that the mafia is so heavily involved in the judiciary, has taken on the serious without his knowledge his surname. Which is equivalent, according to the dictionary of the Italian language, to an "ancient game of chance". To which, in some way, Morra and the escort – whom he ordered or did not prevent from "identifying" some present at the improvised "inspection" in a health facility in Cosenza, his constituency – exercised by betting on I don't know which violation of laws, regulations or other in the selection of people to be vaccinated. And God only knows – for heaven's sake – how many are those who would like to immunize themselves from Covid 19 and fail, not only in Cosenza or, more regionally, in Calabria.

WHAT MORRA HAS COMBINED IN CALABRIA

But the "inspection", always with quotation marks, is a little less general and impartial, or more focused on the account given by the director of the facility, Mario Marino. What he told a reporter: “But which ordinary citizens? He gave us the names and dates of birth of these relatives over 80, a man from 1923 and a woman from 1937. And when he didn't find them on the list, he went crazy ", calling the undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri on the phone. , colleague or former party colleague because in the meantime Morra is expelled from the Grillino movement for having denied trust in the Draghi government. A phone call that could have contributed to raise the official's blood pressure, to the point of making him feel bad, fortunately not so much because the interested party has already announced that he will go to the police station to report the incident.

TRAVAGLIA AND MORRA

The story naturally ended up on the front pages of many newspapers with headlines, italics and news on political reactions, many of which obviously aimed at getting Morra to resign from the presidency of the anti-mafia commission. ways in which it is exercised. Many newspapers, I said, but casually – for heaven's sake – not Il Fatto Quotidiano , which I suspect Morra likes politically for having disagreed with the management and conclusion of the latest government crisis, also criticized by the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio, up to obtaining or risk expulsion, not venturing to evaluate the developments and outcomes of the appeal to which I think Morra also proceeded. Not even the "wickedness" of the day was dedicated to him to try to gild with irony a criticism or something that could resemble it, two Renzians having been preferred as "bad" even though they returned to the Democratic Party, perhaps to lend a hand to the group leader in risk of substitution for gender reasons.

THE DAILY FACT ABOUT MORRA

The story of Morra was instead dealt with by the Fact on the third page with a short but all in all detailed chronicle, I must admit. However, in the title, or in that part that is technically called "eyelet", there is something more, let's say, that makes the difference. “Attacked with falsity” is written about Morra, despite all appearances, to say the least. And appearances in the not-so-guaranteed culture of yesteryear grillini, as Morra should be considered, should have their importance.
