Scurati by Fazio: ‘I was dragged into a mud fight’ – News

Rockstar applause for Che tempo che fa sul Nove for Antonio Scurati who hopes ”to go back to being a professor, a father”, and for Fabio Fazio who asks him how the whole controversy over the monologue of April 25th began, he says: ‘ ‘I was called by a TV program that I thought belonged to everyone, close to April 25th because I wrote at least five books that dealt with that period, I felt obliged to remember the anniversary and I expressed my ideas and moved the criticism of those who govern us and for this reason I was dragged by my hair into a mud fight”. How did you know – asks Fabio Fazio – that it had been cancelled, ”I was shaving, I was ready, the call came from the presenter who I didn’t know, she was distraught and said ‘your participation has been cancelled’. I didn’t answer anyone who called me, I tried not to reply even though I was sorry. The most serious thing is that at a certain point in the day the head of the government, saying that he doesn’t really know how things went, and this seems to me to be a good reason for keeping quiet, as my father would say, uses unpleasant words, describes me as a greedy. It must not happen that a head of government attacks with disparaging phrases a citizen who is also a writer and should be able to express his point of view”. These are situations in which ”there is emphasis even among your supporters”. ‘

‘I’m sorry to be dragged into such a vulgar and base controversy,” he says to Fazio who asks him about La Russa’s words. ”The second office of the state is the State, it cannot throw itself against a single individual. Imagine Mattarella waking up and saying ‘Fazio is a terrible presenter”. And Fazio replies: ”he’s the only one who didn’t say it”. ”It’s like saying that a doctor makes money with illness – adds Scurati -, I don’t make money with Mussolini but with talent, with work. I didn’t do anything original with my monologue, they are ideas and values ​​that seemed obvious and obvious to me”. Fazio asks him if he will come more often next year, ”we’ll pay for the ticket and I promise a one-page contract”. ”Arousing fears is much easier than arousing hopes and this is what politicians who look to the future must do. The only thing that can be contrasted with the politics of hatred is a politics of hope”. What have you learned? ”If you want to live peacefully at the moment in this country you must not criticize the government, I thought I knew having studied and recounted the dark years of fascism, I understood a little firsthand that democracy is always a fight for democracy and we live in it today thanks to the struggle of our grandfathers and grandmothers. Democracy is not a tall tree but it is like a vine, you have to take care of it every day and only at the end does it give you the magnificent wine of democracy”.
