Who celebrates for Berlusconi's Putinian audio? The LaPresse-La7 case

Will there be a third Berlusconi LaPresse audio? Yes, maybe, no. The italics of Michele Arnese, director of Startmag

Will there be a third Berlusconi audio?

"No. We have Berlusconi's full speech, twenty minutes. We could publish it only to show that it has not been manipulated, as some say, ”Alessia Lautone, director of the LaPresse press agency, replied to the newspaper La Stampa . And to the Libero newspaper he added : “There is no third audio and if it had been there we would have given it immediately”.

Already yesterday Lautone, during the special Political Diary of Enrico Mentana on La7, had assured: “There is no third audio”.

Yet a couple of hours earlier, again on La7, during the Tagadà broadcast, the head of the political editorial staff of the same LaPresse agency, Donatella Di Nitto, had said : “Third audio? He can leave after Giorgia Meloni is appointed ”, prefiguring other surprises contained in Berlusconi's speech to the Forza Italia MPs.

If Berlusco ni 's speech is 20 minutes long, why only divulge two audios ? And the third audio that was in the pipeline why was it scrapped?

Questions currently unanswered. While many are lavish in discussing principals and authors.

Aren't you surprised by the audio ?, Repubblica asked Paolo Guzzanti, journalist and former parliamentarian of the PDL: “But no, it's a canon of your communication: he knows well that it comes out. I exclude that it was an accident ”, the commentator of the Mediaset networks replied .

Alessandro Cattaneo, Forza Italia's new group leader in the Chamber: "I exclude that it was a deputy, there were chaperones".

Repubblica today gave an account of the opinion of Antonio Tajani, candidate in pectore for the role of Foreign Minister in the Meloni government in gestation: “A revenge. Maybe those who have not been elected ”. Antonio Tajani spreads his arms. He doubts there was any real direction. He excludes that it was a choice of the Knight: "Those phrases, made public, damaged him in the first place". And he doesn't even believe that it was Licia Ronzulli's work to hit Meloni and Tajani himself: “It seems difficult to me. And then for what reason? I don't believe it ”,“ There were at least 100 people in that room. It could have been anyone. I have the impression that someone wanted to take revenge. Maybe because he wasn't elected. Anyone who knows Berlusconi knows that he always talks like this ".

Berlusconi and the Berlusconi family have close relations with Marco Durante, owner and president of the LaPresse agency (the company closed the 2021 financial statements with a loss of 380 thousand euros and revenues of over 11 million euros).

On the agency's website, in a launch on March 26, we read : "The president of Forza Italia Silvio Berlusconi with his partner Marta Fascina , Marcello Dell'Utri and Adriano Galliani came as a surprise to the party for the president's 60th birthday and founder of LaPresse Marco Durante at the Redroom club in Milan, to wish the birthday boy happy ".

On the other hand, La Presse was the exclusive photographic agency of the Milan football club years ago.

But in the end who favored the publication of the audio?

There are those who think that Berlusconi is gloating because he has thus returned to the center of the political scene.

Who, like the newspaper La Verità , thinks that Giorgia Meloni benefits from everything ("the pandemonium for the stolen Putin recordings makes the birth of the executive even more inevitable and gives more strength to Meloni", wrote the director Maurizio Belpietro ).

And who, summing up, says: only Putin and the Putinians are celebrating the whole affair.
