FROM OUR REPORTER
breaking latest news – «Write Giorgia», simply Giorgia. She alone, against everyone. She who for years felt derided, branded as a “pesciarola” and “borgatara”. She who once again takes to the field and separates the (electoral) world in two. With me or against me. On the side of the truth or that of “lies”. Over here Giorgia and her brothers (and sisters, see Arianna always in the front row), those who come from the people and speak like the people and don’t wonder, because it’s elite stuff, whether the prime minister is populist, popular or « pop”.
Over there, in the field of “space lies” and “mystifications artfully created by the left”, there are the enemies, the “liars”, those “slavish” socialists with the EU which, by crowning itself the leader in all the constituencies, wants send to the opposition even in Europe and with whom he swears he will never come to terms. In short, the “communists” of Berlusconi’s memory, “the educated ones”, who owled and thought “she will never make it”.
Instead, here she is, after a year and a half of government thanks to which, she syllables the word “pride”, she feels free to shout that “Italy is back”. You will never recant, you will never accept lessons “from the heirs of the PCI who replaced Moscow with Brussels”. The idea of asking voters to write on the European elections ballot only his first name it came right to her, while she was constructing the breaking latest news speech. She thinks that her strength is always giving informal addresses to all the people she meets and above all being reciprocated with informal addresses: “It’s the most precious thing I have.”
It seemed like the perfect choice for a campaign conceived as a referendum on the government, a referendum on oneself. A winning idea, to polarize the competition as much as possible with the female leader of the opposing side. Because if the founder of FdI can afford to ask for the vote “for Giorgia”, the secretary of the Democratic Party was unable to convince the Dem leaders to put her name in the symbol: imagine if she had proposed to them to print “Elena Ethel Schlein” on the ballot known as Elly”, is the unsaid of Meloni. Which she knows how to twist the knife where it hurts most: «Since, fortunately, I am not the secretary of the Democratic Party, my party will give me a hand in this campaign…».
For 73 minutes he reads a little and goes off the cuff and patiently if half of the speech is very reminiscent of Atreju’s, where for obvious reasons there was no dig at the absent Salvini: «Thanks to Matteo, who he preferred the bridge and the family. I’m joking, huh!”. A “roller coaster” of decibels and dizziness, because of the cursed ones otoliths that have been tormenting her for months. After the ovations, the waving of flags delivered to the cheering base by the volunteers, after Tajani’s declarations of loyalty, the applause of Lollobrigida, Fitto and so on, they await you at the Oriente restaurant, overlooking the sea and all the tables reserved for the right of government. But «Giorgia is half dead», she gets into the car and is taken straight to Rome – where on June 1st she will hold the closing rally – leaving behind the controversy over the state managers who wore his party t-shirts and a sunny and armored breaking latest news, with all the hotels booked in bulk by the organization at the request of Giovanni Donzelli.
Dressed in blue like the sea behind her, «Giorgia» has something for everyone from the stage. Criticize Report and call applause for Edi Rama, «lynched for trying to help Italy». He attacks Giuseppe Conte, a “bottist” and “cynical”, who wrote the word peace on the symbol “to gather some votes” and on whom he throws the weight of the 200 billion building bonuses, “the largest reverse asset ever made in Italy” . Quote Enrico Letta e Mario Draghi to say that their recipes are “the same ones that we have been expressing for many years” and is careful not to reveal whether or not she is willing to support the banker who preceded her at Palazzo Chigi, if “Ursula” were to ever fail to succeed again at the helm of the EU Commission. She pushes Mattarella on schools and Ramadan and once again makes Salvini’s ears ring: “I am criticized by some on the right because I also speak with the leaders of some family other than mine.” She doesn’t reveal her strategy, but she hasn’t forgotten that five years ago «von der Leyen was also voted for by Hungarians and Poles, who were never part of the majority».
For Europe to “do less but do better” and perhaps also to cover its side from Vannacci’s slogans, it will try with all its might to shift the axis of the European Parliament to the right, but it knows well that it could be forced to support a president of the Commission supported by the socialists and invites us not to confuse the plans: «The Commission is made up of people of all colors because the commissioners are indicated by the governments». But enough about discussing it now, “it’s a surreal debate.” First you write «Giorgia» on the card. Then it is decided who will lead Europe. And she is running to make her votes count.
