Meloni, the press and Pirandello
What and how paper newspapers report on the European Council and beyond. Damato's Scratches
Under a title that frankly doesn't seem far-fetched to me and refers to a Europe that is "going forward" in terms of migrants, although it has not yet reached the finish line, Corriere della Sera also recorded a "satisfied Meloni", referring to the statements made by the person concerned to journalists in Brussels.
A completely different show was told by Repubblica with that "Meloni with empty hands" announced with satisfaction on the entire front page and reinforced by "A guest out of place", as a further comment.
Even more negative is the representation of the Brussels show on the front page of another newspaper, such as Repubblica , from the editorial group of Gianni Agnelli's nephew : Il Secolo XIX . Where even the titles have been spared, offering readers a cartoon by Stefano Rolli in which Meloni is in front of a door slammed in her face by the European Union. On the same line, of course , Il Fatto Quotidiano with that "Meloni duped in Europe" in "another flop in Brussels".
“It's the press, honey,” said Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca in a 1942 film that made history. But there should be a limit to this beauty if La Stampa , another newspaper of the editorial group of Gianni Agnelli's nephew, could have happened no later than the day before yesterday this basically modest episode, for heaven's sake, but still indicative of certain relationships between facts and opinions, or conveniences.
On a front page dominated by the "freeze" caused to Meloni in the Senate hall by the speech of the Northern League leader Massimiliano Romeo substantially opposed to other military aid to Ukraine, even though voted later in the motion of the conclusive majority of the discussion in view of the European Council in Brussels, could not and should not find a place for the daily comment of former director Marcello Sorgi. Whose "notebook" is usually valued, especially since the author shares the day's television lounges with the director in charge, Massimo Giannini.
In the notebook, in fact, dated the day before yesterday, March 22, Sorgi greatly reduced Meloni's chill by writing that the Northern League leader in the Senate had indeed practically disagreed with the weapons that we continue to send to the Ukrainians but "in a low voice, for the clear fear of dissipating the operator (in this case the operator)". “And even if his sighs – Sorgi had written again from Rome evidently not imagining the atmosphere that was blowing in the editorial office in Turin – were enough for the opposition to denounce divisions in the majority…. the deliberate distinction on the risks of prolonging the war without credible peace initiatives had the air of a dutiful act, as if Romeo's Captain "couldn't do anything else with respect to external voters and observers, but didn't want to disturb the climate". To read all this, however, the readers of La Stampa had to go as far as page 6. At first there had not even been a case of a recall.
