Who shoots General Figliuolo?
Here is who in the newspapers makes fun of Francesco Figliuolo, the extraordinary commissioner for the viral emergency
For once, or for one of the few times, I have neither laughed nor smiled at the cartoon on the front page of Corriere della Sera in which Emilio Giannelli put on all the "camouflage" uniform on the general of the Alpine troops Francesco Figliuolo: the extraordinary commissioner at the viral emergency who underwent the controversial AstraZeneca vaccine just after being readmitted to the immunization campaign. That divided in full only serves to allow an imaginary couple of doctors to tease the general, so to speak. That is, to practically give him an exhibitionist. Another cartoonist who did not make me laugh or smile today is Stefano Rolli, on Secolo XIX , who wanted to joke about the "aim" of the general "at his age", who is not even 60 years old, for the proposed goal of "500 thousand vaccines a day".
Instead, the usual people of Fatto Quotidiano will have smiled and laughed, perhaps even out loud, who defined the one made by the general as a "gaffe" by encouraging the public to offer themselves to the "excess doses" of the vaccine in the 1800 collection points, causing "resse" and sending "Haywire" the whole system. Which is already compromised, however, by dysfunctions, messes and the like of the regions more or less unfortunately provided with health skills complete with constitutional stamps.
But more than complaining about these presumably perverse effects of the mobilization of General Figliuolo, but also of the head of the Civil Protection Fabrizio Curcio, not to be confused of course with the Renato of the red brigades, portrayed together with Cecchignola while they were going to get vaccinated, or were leaving, cartoonists and Titolists have given the air – especially in the newspaper directed by Marco Travaglio – to be pleased with the difficulties in which Mario Draghi's government finds itself, and could find itself even more in the next few days. Whose main fault for them remains that of having replaced the unforgettable, incomparable, precious second government of Giuseppe Conte. Who would now be forced to put his skills as a jurist, organizer and lucky charm, even, at the service of a cause even more desperate than that of the government of a country besieged, like so many others, by the pandemic: the refoundation and leadership of the Movement 5 Stars, by direct assignment of the "High", "guarantor" and so on Beppe Grillo.
The latter has also just come to the desire to teach their profession to television presenters, directors, cameramen, stage or studio electricians and the like to allow any pentastellated guests conditions of guarantee, indeed of safety, in their … artistic and policies, protecting them from inconveniences deriving in large part from their incompetence. And all this in the most absolute silence of the aforementioned Conte, presumably distracted by the examination, which has been going on for weeks now, of statutes, contracts and the like of the Movement and more or less connected associations in order to somehow manage them and dissolve the reserve with the who accepted the post of re-founder and leader one Sunday morning, in a Roman hotel overlooking the ruins of the Imperial Forums. Certainly more fascinating and in any case historical ruins than the star dust just offered to the guest by Grillo in the white helmet of an astronaut, or as a Martian who landed late compared to the good times – those yes – of Ennio Flaiano. They were times of peace compared to these of war that we are going through grappling with that invisible and very mobile enemy that is Covid 19, and variants.
