Who and how gains for Giorgia Meloni’s success at the G20 in Bali
What the newspapers write about Giorgia Meloni's G20. Damato's Scratches
Giorgia Meloni sang "success", I believe not wrongly, at the conclusion of the G20 which made her debut on a world level, also charging her with the sympathy she earned as a mother by bringing her little daughter Ginevra with her. And silencing the inevitable criticisms in Italy, where political animosity usually prevails over everything, with the sacrosanct warning that the management of his little girl is a very personal affair.
The premier received so many requests for bilateral meetings in Indonesia that she had to postpone her departure to satisfy that of the Chinese president. And seeing him in the photo face to face with her, one felt like mistaking Xi for a red Guido Crosetto: the current Italian defense minister who at the foundation of the brothers of Italy lifted Meloni into his arms like King Kong in the very famous movie.
Practically the only one who remained on his own, at least among those on whom there was a certain curiosity to know more, was the French president Emmanuel Macron. Who at the table of the meeting between Western leaders was spared having to find her next to her, separated from the German chancellor Scholz.
The good President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella will have regretted it from a distance – I think, indeed I hope – seeing the images from Rome, with all the great work in which he personally spent on the phone to close the incident between the Italian and French governments on the story of the Ocean Viking ship. Which for once was able to disembark its migrants rescued in the Mediterranean in a French port instead of in the usual Italian port of call preferred by voluntary organizations flying the most diverse flags. At this point, frankly, i.e. at the point where Macron wanted to get and maintain the tension, it becomes frankly difficult to say whether the Italian treatment of migrants by sea or the French one of migrants by land is more inhumane, particularly along the borders between our two countries.
The Republic and the Press have preferred to lead the ongoing "freeze with Macron", as if to blame, or in any case demerit, the Italian premier, perhaps too young or inexperienced to be taken seriously by the French president for more than that meeting convict in Rome on a terrace of the Gianicolo. Which happened – as far as I know – above all for the good offices of the former Prime Minister Mario Draghi, considered by Macron to be worthy of his friendship and his consideration.
A little too much snobbish towards Meloni at the G20, daughter or not daughter in tow, Claudia Fusani also showed that she has it in Italy on the Riformista . Who, confirming the cliché of women who distrust them more than men, or females more than males, wrote quite venomously on the front page: "Giorgia Meloni forgets the problems with France for a few days and poses as a great international statesman at the G20 of Bali. “A success,” he said. But her presence counts for little, a gregarious". Gender niceties, let's say.
In any case, the Italian premier was able to leave Bali also with the relief of having experienced first-hand, for the short time the Russian Foreign Minister's presence at the world summit lasted, the lack of favor for Putin and his war on Ukraine, which attacked are facing with military aid also from Italy. Moreover, the management of the incident that occurred in Poland with "pieces of missiles" which fell a short distance from the border with Ukraine bombed by the Russians has shown that the Americans – contrary to what the Putinians of Italy write and say – do not die at all from the desire to ride that conflict. Which they would have even provoked to put Putin and Europe in trouble. Things are not at all so behind the logic.
