Government, the right’s embarrassment over the Giuli case. The Fdi group leader in Lombardy: “Pederast? In private you can say”

The president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa sings “The bell of San Giusto”, better known as “The girls of Trieste”, from the direction the music suggested is “L’Italiano” by Toto Cutugno and the password is only one: come together around the controversy over the Giuli case and the resignation of his head of cabinet Francesco Spano. The party for the 2 years of the Meloni government is being staged at the Gaber auditorium in Milan and the political earthquake of the last few hours seems like the stone guest that no one would have wanted. “There is no case, no problem”, comments the head of the Brothers of Italy delegation in the European Parliament Carlo Fidanza. “Just gossip”, attacks the Minister for Tourism Daniela Santanchè. “Peepers”, Forza Italia senator Licia Ronzulli will say shortly afterwards. We ask the FdI group leader in the regional council Christian Garavaglia whether the use of the word “pederast” is normal in 2024, the name with which Spano was defined in a chat with administrators of his party: “It lies in the jokes that everyone makes in their own world private, I wouldn’t use it but I’m not judging.” “A very obsolete name”, Santanché further belittles as the anticipation (and, perhaps, apprehension) mounts for the much-discussed episode of Report where pieces will be added to the story. “Should I watch it? There’s the match, Inter-Juve”, struggles the undersecretary of Education Paola Frassinetti. “Report? What is Report”, the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa responds seraphically.
