The snores of Orsini and Travaglio on the Luiss
Professor Orsini is once again being talked about: for Il Fatto Quotidiano he would have been censored by the Luiss press review. But in the informative email edited by the university, the professor of sociology (and his talkative television appearances) appear all right…
Exactly one year ago, the Luiss University of Rome suspended Professor Alessandro Orsini from the position of director of its International Observatory, who suddenly ended up in the limelight for his pro-Russia positions defended beyond belief in every television talk show where talks about the Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Twelve months ago the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back was an unfortunate comparison of the contingent facts with the conduct of Nazi Germany: «Hitler had no intention of starting the Second World War. What happened is that the European countries created military alliances, each of which contained an article 5 of NATO, that is, an article which provided for in the event of an attack on a foreign country that all members of the coalition would enter the war". Therefore, continued the teacher on TV, «what happened was that on 1 September 1939 Germany invaded Poland: England and France had allied themselves with Poland and a domino effect was created, in which Hitler had no interest and which Hitler didn't even expect it to snap."
ORSINI'S OLD RELEASE
In response to the position taken by the Confindustria university, Orsini ( a professor associated with Luiss ) thus vented himself on Facebook. “Generally I love those who hate me. In this case, rather than love, I would speak of compassion". Then he stabbed the media: «I feel a certain compassion for my haters. Especially for the editor of Repubblica and Corriere della Sera» and then widening the target: «Italy is a very backward country in terms of international security. Italian universities have never invested in this field of study» he explained, «the consequence is that scientific knowledge has not spread among ordinary people, politicians and journalists, except with very few exceptions. And, thus, millions of Italians discovered international security on February 24, 2022". For the professor this was the reason for the numerous attacks suffered in the last period. “I find myself continually being accused of being ignorant by thousands of very ignorant people, including editors of newspapers and television broadcasters. Ignorant "Olympic" also to Corriere della Sera. Patience, I don't give up and I explain like fifth grade ».
BECAUSE ORSINI IS CENSORED BY LUISS. BUT IT'S NOT TRUE
A year later, the tensions between Orsini and Luiss do not seem to have ended. Even if, as we will see, they seem one-way. Il Fatto Quotidiano , which has positions similar to those of the sociologist on the conflict (so much so that six days ago it opened with the collection of signatures for a referendum against weapons in Ukraine. "Now – the masthead stood out – the pacifist majority of Italians can finally have his say") takes the defense of the professor (as well as author of a blog on the Fact ).
"Excluded (again) from the press review", reads the piece published on April 27 in the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio . “Alessandro Orsini continues to have a hard time at Luiss. Yesterday the University did not include his speech at Cartabianca in the internal press review which includes all the speeches by professors in newspapers, radio and TV”.
“Orsini – continues the short article – had defined Ursula von der Leyen “a curse for the EU”. In 2021, at the time of the Messenger, Orsini had already asked for explanations as to why his articles had been excluded from the review for over a year. And recently the problem had resurfaced, again after an episode of Cartabianca, but Luiss had remedied it by blaming it on technical problems".
"Now – continue dal Fatto .- several of Orsini's colleagues have noted how, in conjunction with other criticisms of NATO, the mechanism has been repeated and they fear it could be a message for everyone". In reality, according to Start Magazine 's reconstruction, Orsini does indeed appear in the University newsletter of April 27, complete with a link to the Cartabianca episode . And the rejoinder on the fact that the University was only a late and remedial move is already awaited…
