The TV duel between Giorgia Meloni and Elly Schlein, which should have taken place in the Porta a Porta studios and with the careful guidance of Bruno Vespa, was cancelled. The president of the Rai Supervisory Commission, Barbara Floridia, wrote a letter to the president of Agcom and complained about the alleged failure to respect the level playing field. The issue has caused a lot of discussion in recent weeks and has raised several doubts. “We have been forbidden to compare two women who for the first time in Italian history are at the top of their respective roles. Is it a victory for democracy? I’m not convinced”: this was the bitter comment of the journalist and host of the information from Rai 1. Bianca Berlinguer, who talks for a few minutes every week with Mauro Corona, asked the mountaineer what he thought and whether he was sorry about the elimination of the confrontation between the two female leaders of the country.

“Were you sorry not to see the comparison between Elly Schlein and Giorgia Meloni?”, asked the presenter of È semper Cartabianca clearly. “Yes, first of all out of curiosity. I always like challenges. In America, for example, they don’t spare any punches. I would have liked to see the cultural level, the dialectical level compared”, admitted the essayist with sincerity. “Would you have wanted to see it?” Berlinguer urged. “It would perhaps have remained in history. I was sincerely sorry. I would have seen it every evening. With challenges, sometimes you have a positive evening, sometimes a negative one. I would do them every evening, compare ourselves”, reiterated Corona. “Which is done very little today. Above all, leaders do not often accept confrontations”, the journalist pointed out, also recalling the past times when face-to-face meetings were frequent and were not contested. For the mountaineer you have to deal with “anger”. “You can’t have a dialogue if it doesn’t explode. These are problems not of human wickedness, but of fears and anxieties that rain down on us. This era is very dangerous. The dialogue is no longer serene and calm. We immediately skip it up for a fly,” he concluded.
