breaking latest news — It happens at the end of the last panel, the one on the Mattei Plan and Italian investments in Africa. Marco Minniti, presented by the moderator Mario Sechi as “the hero of the day” as the only exponent of the Democratic Party at the Fratelli d’Italia event, politely refuses to be photographed wearing the blue t-shirt preaching the Melonian verb: “L ‘Italy changes Europe.”
Eni’s CEO, Claudio Descalzi, first quickly reads the writing, then rolls up his t-shirt and turns to Claudio Fidanza, the MEP to his right: “I can’t… I have a reputation!”. The photographers click, the journalists immortalize the scene with their cell phones and Descalzi’s laughter sweeps away the embarrassment.
The controversy erupted at lunchtime, when the shot immortalizing the state managers while showing off the Fdi t-shirt, even without wearing it, began to circulate on the web. In the offending photo there are two big shots of the State who have strategic dossiers in their hands: the prefect Bruno Frattasi, director of the National Cybersecurity Agency and the former ambassador Stefano Pontecorvo, president of Leonardo.
The political case flares up, inevitable. “They have no sense of decency,” attacks the Democratic Party. For Enrico Borghi, group leader of Italia Viva, “the institutional grammar has been lost”, the Green Angelo Bonelli accuses Meloni of “transforming the State into a branch of FDI and announces a question to the Prime Minister in Parliament.
Melonians don’t get too upset. “Sterile controversy – Donzelli cuts it short – In Atreju the national youth also gave it to well-known exponents of the Democratic Party, who thank goodness did not join Fdi”.
In the afternoon, the controversial t-shirt was offered to two other CEOs: Pierroberto Folgiero of Fincantieri accepted without problems, while Flavio Cattaneo of Enel preferred not to flaunt it for the camera.
Photos against young people demonstrating in universities
The other case of the day flares up due to Tommaso Foti’s attack against young people demonstrating in universities, for Gaza and against Israel. The group leader claims that they are students “mainly out of course” and, aware of the provocative effect, ventures: “I wonder if it would have been better to send them to university or to dig, where they would have obtained better results.”
For Melonians it is the eve of the long-awaited day, in which the prime minister will dissolve her reservation and return to the field as a candidate for the European elections. In breaking latest news, for the programmatic conference organized by Giovanni Donzelli, the entire government is there and there is Ignazio La Russa, who remained closed all day in the VIP area overlooking the sea. He notices the journalists and waves to them, but remains behind the trench.
The President of the Senate will be interviewed at 10am on Sunday by Bianca Berlinguer, with his thoughts turned to his Inter. «We hope that Giorgia will finish before 12.30 – she confided jokingly to her colleagues – There is the match against Torino and we will celebrate the scudetto».
But why is everyone running? Behind the wall of cameras there is now Daniela Santanché, who stops to answer after talking about tourism on stage. But it is only later, as she heads towards the space reserved for “big names” that the minister responds to her judicial fate. If you are sent to trial, will you resign? «Oh, mother… I hope it never happens. Don’t worry, I speak in the courts, not in the newspapers.”
