The uproar on paper about La Russa and Msi
What the main newspapers write and criticize on La Russa, MSI and beyond. Damato's Scratches
From a battleship of the left as the founder Eugenio Scalfari managed to make it become by bleeding L'Unità and Paese sera from copies and journalists, the newspaper La Repubblica has gradually downsized. The historic overtaking on Corriere della Sera is now a distant memory. But a certain liveliness in the representation of the facts, and also a certain ambition in dictating the line to other newspapers, in his own editorial group and outside, has remained with him, even at the cost of pulling the string until it breaks. So I think it happened to him today shooting all over the front page, like a war announcement, "a La Russa case": I repeat, La Russa. Not the Russia of the ongoing, vicious war in Ukraine.
Ellekappa, the historic cartoonist of Repubblica , in the registry office Laura Pellegrini, burned "the second office of the state", in the flames of the defunct Social Movement, of which she wanted to electronically remember the 76 years that have passed since its birth by raising her arm in fascism . And inspiring the spectators to rhyme between the "bonfire" in which it really deserves to burn and the Salò, capital of the Social Republic founded by Mussolini under Hitler's orders. Other, therefore, than the resignation demanded by the usual, bourgeois, banal Democratic Party: the stake is what the president of the Senate deserves for having joined the celebrations of the deceased – I repeat – Social Movement opened by the undersecretary Isabella Rauti. Of which it is not known whether the surname he bears, transmitted to him by his father Pino, or the friendship of the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is more serious. Which, by dint of announcing finished parcels here and there, has been registered by Riccardo Mannelli, in today's cartoon of the Fatto Quotidiano , "the Fasciopacchian era". A caress, I would say, compared to the "malice", always on the front page, reserved for the president of the Senate and for all the center-right with these lines: "La Russa: "The MSI was the most democratic party of all". The League, on the other hand, is the most cultured and Forza Italia the most honest". This is how Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi were also served.
But this with the Fatto di Marco Travaglio is the only harmony visible to the naked eye with the anti-fascist and anti-La Russa mobilization of the Republic . Corriere della Sera relegated the "case" to page 10 without a line – I'll say one – of reference on the front page. In the Press , on the other hand, there is a reminder at first, but small and modest enough for "the umpteenth shame" complained of with the support of the "Get out of the Senate" order shouted to La Russa by the Hungarian writer Edith Bruck.
The reference on the front page of the Giornale di casa Berlusconi was decidedly neutral in the controversy that broke out over the president of the Senate: “La Russa recalls the birth of the MSI. The left calls for his resignation." In its most courageous or committed way, as you prefer, is the title of Libero on more than one column: "La Russa dares to remember the MSI and the left loses its head". However, a laughable title compared to the culturally and politically heavier ones of the Foglio and the Riformista , and to the arguments, respectively, of the founder Giuliano Ferrara and the director Piero Sansonetti.
"A non-rhetorical vision of things does not scream scandal if one remembers the birth of the MSI", which "was a horrendous party, not a populist movement", Ferrara self-titled himself .
"Anti-fascism is freedom", headlined Sansonetti, who is about to bring Unity back to newsstands but also wanted to remind his former party mates that "the MSI was a real, mass, democratic party, which represented the far right and to the people nostalgic for fascism. He gave wealth to democracy. It made it fuller. He fought great battles. Some, I think, are right. Many wrong and reactionary. He lost them all. It's not a demerit." Sansonetti's words, I repeat.
