“Dear La7 viewers, we haven’t seen each other in a while. I hope to find you heartened by the averted danger of authoritarian drift, of the collapse of the economy, of Italy’s isolation at an international level. Because while many were discussing these ghosts, we worked tirelessly to improve Italy’s conditions.” A sarcastic debut, a dig at the viewers and a thinly veiled attack on the La7 network and on the journalists who in their studies debate and sometimes criticize the government’s actions. Thus begins the electoral advert Giorgia Meloni recorded for La7 and aired in the last few hours. The prime minister then continues by listing what in his opinion are the successes of his executive. “Obviously we are not satisfied because there is still a lot of work to do but in the meantime you can say whether these results are appreciable. June 8th and 9th are not radical chic living rooms to speak but the people and that of the people has always been the only judgment that interests us”.
Among the first reactions was that of Corrado Formigli who has invited the prime minister into his studios several times. An invitation always declined by the Prime Minister herself. “What is striking about this video is the leap in quality. This time the Prime Minister does not attack the La7 journalists. It goes beyond and mocks and insults millions of Italians who watch our network. The prime minister of half the country who declares war on the other half” wrote the journalist and presenter of Piazzapulita on social media
