Santanché? Parliament is not a courtroom
Not only Santanché. How and why Parliament often turns into a courtroom. Paola Sacchi's italics
Probably in a country where an entire political cycle, the so-called Second Republic, was not forged, as we are, under the hammer of "clean hands", which only saved the post-PCI and post-DC left, the "Santanchè case ” would not even have landed in a parliamentary hall. A parliamentary hall transformed into a courtroom. In the evening, the Minister of Tourism of FdI denounces the most serious thing through his press office: "informed" through the press that he is "enrolled in the register of suspects". Something that you, the person concerned, do not know, as stated in the information in the Senate.
“Is it normal for a minister who is about to report to the senators to read in a newspaper that he would be under investigation? Is it a normal country for a journalist to be able to write things, in his opinion, secret by the judiciary and unknown to the person concerned and his lawyers?”, the minister pressed in the courtroom, observing: “It is I who must have answers”.
The old practice of the infernal media-judicial circuit, by which journalists know first, and left-wing journalists in this case, has been repeating itself for thirty years. From Silvio Berlusconi "warned" in the press at a G7 on crime to Daniela Santanchè. Not to go back to what happened before.
On the left there was like a competition between executioners, in which, according to the old adage of Pietro Nenni, to compete with the pure there is always someone purer who purges you. And so Elly Schlein's Democratic Party, but also the alliance between the Greens and the Left, even a little irritated and displaced, as can be seen from a press release, find themselves chasing the "pure", the pentastellato leader and former premier Giuseppe Conte presenting a motion of no confidence, bypassing the companions of the so-called wide field. Which makes the left appear even more of a minority and the center-right majority more naturally compact.
From ministers to deputy prime ministers Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani to governors such as the Northern League Luca Zaia. The centre-right squares around Santanchè. In the opposition, only Matteo Renzi's Iv stands out, dissociating himself from that motion.
While Carlo Calenda, his partner (former?) of the third pole, says that if Santanchè does not clarify he should resign. As if Parliament were a courtroom. Or is a journalistic investigation really enough to transform Parliament into a sounding board for this?
As for the "hate campaign", which Santanchè denounces against her, certain comments from the left media-social media, even with traits of misogyny and social envy, seem to prove her right.
