His speech delivered during the hearing at the Culture Commissions of the House and Senate, the subject of jokes and memes, had a “degree of complexity directly proportional to the interlocutors and the context – says the Minister of Culture Alessandro Giulito the microphones of ‘La lingua batte’, on Radio3 – If you talk to deputies who sit on Culture Commissions, then 27 seconds of quoting a couple of objectively complex texts, I may be theoretical but it is a bet that can be attempted. Beyond satire, we are all ‘satirisable’, of course, next time we will avoid it, but I refuse to think that the political class is not able to understand” the words spoken and which caused so much discussion.
A provocation? They ask him on the radio. “It was intended to be more than a provocation, a solicitation, as if to say ‘there are themes for which we must equip ourselves even with complex, challenging terms'”. Giuli asks if, “after the vaffa season, the fact that we think about words like apocalypticism“, should it be considered “a retreat or an attempt to advance? There is a downward leveling of which we are all complicit”, says the minister, recalling some dynamics of social media. “I believe that the academic world is required to use a complicated language, while the political world is called upon to simplify the topic however, it is always necessary to find a balance between excess sophistication” and an accessible language. “I am a person who comes from the world of culture and who has put myself at service; if I were looking for low profile political clientele I would force myself to use another register but that’s not what interests me.”
Regarding his speech – a long and detailed report in which the minister outlined the fields of action of his mandate, a real prolusion to make known his strategies and his political line – it is probably the journalistic circus, which I was involved in and I will join again, who preferred to joke rather than weigh up, it’s easier, it makes more clicks. Politics must always simplify, but between politicians there should be that level of communication that is adequate and also such as to influence journalism, not vice versa”, continues Giuli. Noting the distance with that “vaffa philosophy that has dominated in Italy, influencing everyone to a certain extent” .
For Giuli “a minister must have recognizable margins of independence, especially to the extent that I am a minister also for Savianoper Darken upis the expression of a government whose main party has 30%, in that 30% there must be space for a progressive, non-reactionary right that does not look to the past. It is the starting point and the insurmountable line of our public mission, and this is also clear to the Prime Minister who wanted me here”, concludes Giuli on Rai Radio3.
