Why Meloni and Berlusconi do not esteem themselves so much
What the newspapers say about relations between Meloni and Berlusconi. The Scratches of Damato
While in Repubblica they enjoy the spectacle of the "Right in the quicksand" of the relations between Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni, at the Giornale di famiglia by Berlusconi himself they allowed themselves a "pause for reflection" waiting with Forza Italia, as a modest title says opening, “a signal from Fdi”, which is the party of Meloni. A signal, it must be considered, of willingness, in the negotiations for the formation of the new government, to a "behavior" less arrogant, overbearing and more than that felt by the former prime minister in a "pizzino" , as they called it the adversaries, which he himself exhibited in his desk in Palazzo Madama to photographers who naturally did not let him escape from the stands. And this while the forces were trying in vain to boycott the election of Ignazio La Russa as president, which took place with about twenty votes from the opposition.
But Giorgia Meloni, admittedly proud of not being "blackmailed" by Berlusconi or others, and in any case very alive and operational, not like that fly squashed recently by the former prime minister on live, while speaking in front of a camera, is not tempted , at least at the moment, from some initiative of clarification, reconciliation and the like. Indeed, the press shows that, still offended by those judgments exposed as "pizzini", the leader of the right wants "Silvio's apologies". But real excuses, not fake ones like those that, for example, are expressed in some interviews in response to more or less convenient questions.
The situation must have appeared quite compromised even to a friend and supporter of Berlusconi like the director of Libero Alessandro Sallusti. Who wrote in his editorial: "If someone, especially from the parts of Forza Italia, thinks that vice versa the way of the" crepi Samson with all the Philistines "is better, well take a seat but know that it will really be the last act of a political history that does not deserve to end so sadly ”.
The scenario of the "crepi Sansone con all the philistines" is the one imagined, hoped for, cultivated in the Fatto Quotidiano by a Berlusconi so determined to avenge a Licia Ronzulli opposed by Meloni as a minister of a certain weight to go up to the Quirinale "alone" for the consultations and indicate to the Head of State "another name" as Prime Minister. It would be the scenario also imagined by the poster with that cover title “Coltelli d'Italia”.
Fratelli coltelli , after all, is not just an unfortunate comic film from 1997. It is also, or above all, the fairly frequent representation of a social and political reality against which Giorgia Meloni, Ignazio La Russa, Guido Crosetto felt they were betting at the time. not imagining – I think – not even them where they could have arrived together as “brothers of Italy”, before trying the knives of the center-right allies.
