Who celebrates (and who mumbles) in Italy for Macron’s victory
What newspapers and politicians say in Italy about Macron's victory in the presidential elections. The Scratches of Damato
In France, therefore, everything went according to forecasts, and common sense favored by an electoral system, the two-round one, which would also be good for Italy. But for this very reason, paradoxically, the majority of political forces do not want to adopt it. Patience.
Outgoing President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron doubled his term by beating Marine Le Pen with 58 percent of the vote. For which Putin therefore uselessly prayed – I presume – at the Orthodox Easter mass in Moscow, between the blessing of the Patriarch and the missiles that continued to fly over Ukraine, demolishing its buildings and increasing the already too many dead and wounded.
With Macron, Europe won, as La Stampa and other newspapers rightly titled in favor of the arduous process of integration of the old continent. Instead, where too many languages are spoken and too different interests are cultivated to bet on, Vittorio Feltri wrote a few days ago in Libero . Which consequently, even under the responsible direction of Alessandro Sallusti, usually more cautiously, called Macron's victory "halved", having obtained 58 percent of the votes against 66 the previous time. Marco Travaglio's newspaper echoed him in some way, consoling himself with the "split" of the country beyond the Alps. Who voted for Macron "holding his nose", wrote the newspaper of the Berlusconi family, even though it was founded in 1974 by a Montanelli who, although secular, invited the Italians to vote with a blocked nose for a DC threatened by Communist overtaking.
Certainly, in this case the overtaking that Macron risked, in the distance, was more to the right than to the left, after the latter's defeat in the first round. But the lepenist right has too ambiguous borders – and the Giornale should know it – with the left in favor or at least accommodating, to the point of being financed by the latest edition of Putin so similar not to Peter the Great but to Leonid Brezhnev.
The first in Italy, but perhaps also in Europe, to rejoice at Macron's victory was Prime Minister Mario Draghi from his forced retirement in Umbria with a statement on the "splendid news " from Paris. The harmony between the two is known, however, strengthened by the bilateral agreement solemnly signed at the Quirinale after years of preparation, and therefore in full awareness of its significance.
Professor Marc Lazar, French historian and sociologist, a scholar of the extreme left and politics in Italy, whose language he speaks well, had some fun with false "regret" to announce, in a connection with a television studio in Rome, that the first trip of the confirmed president of France will be in Berlin, not in Rome. Where, however, Macron could not physically meet again with Draghi infected by Covid, but he is still committed to organizing his upcoming visits to Biden, in the United States, and to Zelensky in Ukraine, with all due respect to his predecessor and now president of the Giuseppe Conte 5 Star Movement , critic of "Atlantic extremism" and of Italian military aid to Kiev. But in any case forced – always Conte – for reasons of decency to expel Vito Rosario Petrocelli from the quasi-party that leads the Senate foreign commission. Which has adopted the Z of Russian tanks in Ukraine in its electronic communications.
Who knows if the “personal” blog of the “guarantor” Beppe Grillo, now financed by the MoVimento, will want to deal with it in the next few hours or days. This morning it preferred to deal, as the main theme, with retirement homes, moreover with an image close to that of a furious Grillo in his Internet invectives.
