What Murgia, Meloni and Berlusconi do and what they say
The political news with Berlusconi, Meloni and Murgia at the center. Damato's Scratches
Chronicles from a corner of the planet Earth which, despite everything, continues to rotate around itself and, at the same time, around the Sun which illuminates and warms it in turn in the various parts. While millions of Italians are glued to their home televisions to watch the coronation of the fortieth British king, Charles III, and his wife – ex-lover – Camilla, hundreds of thousands are glued instead to the railway stations to check the delays of the so-called big trains speeds booked by them and a few hundred elderly but also young members of the Forza Italia party gathered in Milan to venerate its founder Berlusconi for 21 minutes of video and audio. Which is naturally "Supersilvio" in the title on the entire front page of the still family newspaper , albeit partial for a few days due to the sale to the publisher of other centre-right newspapers. Or right-center, given the electoral and parliamentary prevalence of Giorgia Meloni's right.
Unlike Charles III, only thirteen years younger than him and determined to remain in his post "to serve, not to be served", as an old formula of that monarchy recites, Berlusconi in his new "messianic" or "liturgical" version ”, as la Repubblica defined it, seemed determined, rightly or wrongly, to be served. However, even according to the little or not at all reverent Republic , Berlusconi's permanence serves something: to "cover everything" like a "manta" – wrote Emanuele Lauria – because among the forced workers, divided between obedience and disobedience to Meloni premier, "the guerrilla continues and indeed extends". And not even talking about the succession to the old republican monarch, again according to the reporter and analyst of Repubblica because "the race is already over, despite the activism of Antonio Tajani, who – according to the internal opposition – had organized the Milan convention to be crowned”, like Charles in London.
Even the former director of Secolo d'Italia Flavia Perina in La Stampa got the impression that "the ruler of Arcore will not abdicate". Berlusconi himself, on the other hand, offered himself to his adoring public saying "Here I am", complete with a shirt and jacket, albeit still in hospital. Other than the famous "Rieccolo" given by Indro Montanelli in his time to Amintore Fanfani to celebrate his ability to return to the scene after having been or having disdainfully left it. "Supersilvio" is there, even between the hospital and the house, which are not far away, like a curbstone. Which will help, among other things, Meloni to survive the writer Michela Murgia, pushed to the Corriere della Sera , struggling with a tumor that has reduced her to the last "months", to hope only to die after the fall of Meloni to be able to enjoy. The premier, in return, wished her to still live long enough to see her fall, in fact. Another fabric and another style, I would say.
