The travails of Travaglio on Davigo convicted
Not only Davigo: this is how "Italy upside down" experienced by Marco Travaglio, director of Fatto Quotidiano. Damato's Scratches
I ask you for a moment of human understanding, however undeserved, for the day or "Italy upside down" that Marco Travaglio had to experience, from his point of view of course, in that comic book laboratory that has become Il Fatto Quotidiano amidst photomontages, cartoons and "malice" openly offered to readers on the first page.
WHAT DISTURBS LABOR
Within a few hours, the commemoration – “the funeral engine”, he called it – of the hated Silvio Berlusconi in the Senate hall, in the solitary and polemical dissent of the 5 Stars, fell like a flood on poor Travaglio; the conviction, albeit in the first degree, and therefore constitutionally still presumed innocence, of the legendary retired magistrate Pier Camillo Davigo for disclosure of a secret; the definitive acquittal, after 7 years and 4 trials, of the former mayor of Lodi Simone Uggetti, from a "soft" auction disturbance for the maintenance of two municipal swimming pools. Which were mistaken by the grillini for two arms factories, to say the least.
To these judicial news of an internal nature must be added, again to understand the strong state of turmoil caused to the prince by opposition journalism, the collapse in Brussels of the outgoing Qatargate investigator, a kind of exported Davigo or Antonio Di Pietro, and the embrace, in Paris, of Emmanuel Macron and Giorgia Meloni, who in Grillina logic should be the devil and holy water.
THE NORDIO QUESTION
What failed to ruin Travaglio's day and those who recognize themselves in his daily mobilization against the Italy of "illegality" was the news of the national association of magistrates' apologies to the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio for having criticized his first justice reform package" even before having read it and above all understood the only eight articles of which it is composed. If this coup had also arrived – averted by a long editorial in the Corriere della Sera signed by Giovanni Bianconi on the "wrong foot" with which the package would have started – perhaps Travaglio would not have physically survived the flood. Or it would at least have been reported missing.
What appeared nefarious to Fatto Quotidiano and to its readers indoctrinated in a vision of politics and the country that is nothing short of defeatist, instead constitutes for others of opposite sign, culture, mind, brain and guts a reason for consolation and hope that finally for Italy another page, and another perspective. Not everything is still fortunately lost from us and surroundings. Maybe we will really be able to get out of that upside-down Italy, yes, into which we entered about thirty years ago, when the judiciary – essentially and finally recently recognized the unsuspecting Massimo D'Alema – wanted to obtain a Judicial republic from the parliamentary one born with the Constitution, in particular "by supervising public ethics and promoting the turnover of the ruling class".
