Will the Santanché case be just a summer storm for Giorgia Meloni?
What the newspapers write about the Santanchè case. Damato's Scratches
Blessed is the Pope on duty. That when he can and wants he can console himself, and console his guests, enjoying Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, as he did yesterday by receiving two hundred artists there. Today we have to be content with enjoying, so to speak, photos and headlines from many front pages on the latest storm that apparently overturned Giorgia Meloni and her government. It bears the name of the Minister of Tourism, friend and party colleague of the Prime Minister, Daniela Santanchè: "the flame of sin", according to the imagination, I don't know if it is more erotic or political than the poster , with its 62 years I can't tell you frankly how worn because of his mobile makeup or surgically fixed on the face.
SANTANCHÈ AND “VISIBILIA”
The minister , perhaps a little too bold even in the names she chooses for her business companies, such as "Visibilia", has become the target of almost all the oppositions and – what is worse – of a part of the center-right majority itself , for the interweaving of two investigations conducted on her: one judicial and one journalistic, by the television mast Report. Of the former, in Milan, so little is known, and so badly, that the minister denies its existence, threatening to sue anyone who speaks or writes about it. We know too much about the second. But the opposition and Northern League would like to know even more, perhaps even someone from Forza Italia, either by demanding her resignation or asking her to report to Parliament herself on the use, for example, that she would have made in her company of the funds obtained to deal with the Covid emergency.
THE FACT RIDES THE CASE
Out of prudence, at least, I won't tell you if and what idea I have of the story, with the exception of one suggested to me by the titles and photomontages of the usual Fatto Quotidiano . Which of all the newspapers is the one that is riding the matter the most, to the great pride of the director Marco Travaglio. Who yesterday evening, connected to the television lounge of Lilly Gruber, on La7, now familiar to him, boasted of his choice, mocking a colleague of Libero who had just objected to dealing only with the now deceased Silvio Berlusconi. No, now I'm in charge of Santanchè, Travaglio practically replied, flaunting the first page of yesterday's Fatto. To which one is being performed today which has led me to ask myself – this is the idea I was hinting at – whether Santanchè's major fault is that of having abused her Visibilia and the like or of enjoying personal friendship and perhaps also the advice lawyers of the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa, second position of the state and so on.
Even Piero Sansonetti's Unit , who doesn't miss an opportunity to catch La Russa out, has headlined his and Santanchè's substantial aid: “Take away the scandals from journalists and what's left? Mud in hand”. Words, in particular, by Tiziana Maiolo.
