CROSETTO SFOTTE VANNACCI AND SALVINI

CACCIARI'S PILLS
"In my life I will have said and done stupid things, like everyone else. But I am not responsible for Stalin's concentration camps. Just as Giorgia Meloni is not responsible for the racial laws, we cannot ask her to account for them. If only for a generational issue." (Massimo Cacciari)

"Anti-fascism is not immediately a political program. Above all it cannot replace it, it cannot become a fig leaf to cover the emptiness of the proposals for today". (Massimo Cacciari)

The print:
80 years later it is not so normal that the Prime Minister cannot say that she is anti-fascist. Does not find?Cacciari:
«I think we should all stop asking for repentance. I don't know how I would react if they asked me to declare myself anti-communist"— Michele Arnese (@Michele_Arnese) April 26, 2024
DASSU' PIZZICOTTI
"It is difficult to think that European defense can be conceived "without" NATO. Also because the cost of a strategically autonomous Europe implies that each European state spends around 6% of GDP on defence: Italy is today at 1.5%". (Marta Dassù, Repubblica)
— Michele Arnese (@Michele_Arnese) April 27, 2024
"Abolish the clause that prevents the EIB, the European Investment Bank, from financing military programs. It must be understood, in essence, that defense spending is not a useless waste but is a necessary investment in a "common good". ( Marta Dassù, Repubblica)

PERCASSI MAKES CASH
The L Catterton fund – in whose management company LVMH has a 40% stake – has bought 70% of Kiko Milano, a beauty brand founded by the Percassi family who will retain a stake in the company which has a turnover of 800 million. (Corriere della Sera)

DOES BELPIETRO ALSO MAKE CASH? NO MAURI', COME ON… DON'T GIVE UP
UPDATE
Months later, perhaps that "definitely" is no longer so definitive.
In May it seems that the sale to the Angelucci will go through.
Sin. The liberal center-right in the media becomes practically a monopoly.
Well done to the liberal and libertarian capitalists. https://t.co/7XBl2FvSp2

VERY COMMUNICATIVE COMMUNICATION
First they go out of their way to get it written that they take care of Ferragni and Fedez's communication. Then they go out of their way to get it written that they no longer care about Ferragni and Fedez's communication. See you at the next scapicollazione.

TRAVAGLIO ABSOLVES CORSINI ON DARKNESS
Darkened? "The Rai managers never said that he shouldn't read his monologue. They are so stupid that they seem to be censors even on the rare occasions when they aren't", writes Marco Travaglio, director of Il Fatto Quotidiano, after reading the papers on the Bortone case -Scurati-Rai.

GIANNINI PARTY LEADER? TV MAKES BAD JOKES ON REPORTERS, ALWAYS SAID AND THOUGHT…
"The partisan Giannini. He enlists his telephone book in a WhatsApp brigade and thinks he has created the new National Liberation Committee. But there are already some deserters". (Luciano Capone, Il Foglio)

EXTRACT FROM THE ARTICLE BY LUCIANO CAPONE DEL FOGLIO ON MASSIMO GIANNINI AND MORE:
Who said that the spirit of the Resistance has disappeared? Faced with the authoritarian drift, there are moral and civil forces in the country that are just waiting for a signal, an initiative, to mobilize. And so it was. Lilli Gruber, on "Otto e mezzo", revealed the existence of a non-clandestine but hitherto unknown partisan group: a WhatsApp group, to be precise.
Her guest was the journalist Massimo Giannini, to whom the presenter asked about this chat. In fact, to celebrate the Liberation, the former director of the Press sent a message to his address book on his iPhone early in the morning, "but in doing so – he said – I got the idea of creating a group, and let's see the effect what does he do." Giannini forwarded a phrase by Sandro Pertini, according to which "all ideas deserve respect, fascism does not. It's not an idea, it's the death of all ideas. Long live April 25th!”.
What happened? “In a few hours, thousands of ordinary people joined this group”, but also many politicians and VIPs. Those, precisely, who are in Giannini's column: “It had never happened that Prodi and Bertinotti, Letta and Renzi, D'Alema and Veltroni joined the same initiative – says the Repubblica editorialist -. Writers and songwriters, from Baglioni to Venditti, from Nina Zilli to Paola Turci and Luca Zingaretti". A WhatsApp group is certainly not a Matteotti brigade, but one thing leads to another. “We will also evaluate whether to do something with it” says Giannini, because it represents “another Italy” compared to the Meloni government: “It is a fundamental heritage” and “it is nice that it comes from civil society”.
In the reconstruction of this spontaneous movement, however, something doesn't add up. First, the numbers. It is unlikely that the members of the Giannini Brigade number "thousands", if only for a technical limit. The first rule of WhatsApp groups, in fact, is that "you can create a group with a maximum of 1,024 members". Not several thousand, therefore, but at most a thousand.
