“The second episode of the Fanpage investigation arrives while Giorgia Meloni is in Europe, and this is certainly malicious…”. Ma? “Those are images that cause nausea after dismay. Or at least annoyance in anyone who knows that anti-Semitism, on the right, is beer hall frenzy, street junk. On the contrary, it is much more systemic elsewhere”. Elsewhere, where? “Where for example October 7 is forgotten, where Jews are chased away from Pride”. This is what Francesco Storace sayswho has experienced first-hand the years of ideological fanaticism – of the reds against the blacks that seem to be reviving in the aftermath of “Gioventù meloniana” (Melonian Youth). A life in the MSI and then in the AN, with the rank of colonel. And then president of the Lazio region, minister of the third Berlusconi government, today a Libero contributor. Thus, as a journalist, Storace immediately glosses over Meloni’s comment that arrived last night, when the prime minister, while condemning “Sieg Heil”, harshly criticized Fanpage. “A method never adopted in seventy-five years with any political party,” said Meloni in Brussels. Which is true, according to Storace, given that “no one goes to the closets of the left, and yet Meloni is wrong.” In what? “You can’t tell journalists that they shouldn’t infiltrate. The investigation is also this. Then of course, Fanpage doesn’t go in social centers full of anti-Semites.”

Here. Returning to anti-Semitism, you say that racism on the right is street stuff. He even says it doesn’t exist. Yet Fanpage filmed parliamentary assistants, young militants of the Brothers of Italy who mocked Ester Mieli… So what is what we saw? The past that does not pass? Or are they isolated cases? “These are cases that must be eradicated. And I haven’t thought about it since today. When I was a young MSI, I suffered from the accusation of Nazi-fascism. I went to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem before Gianfranco Fini in 2003. And I think that some sentences, in addition to their gravity, denote hypocrisy”. She says: they are not stupid but hypocrites. “They are anti-Semites hiding in a governing party that certainly will not proclaim itself anti-fascist. And it will not do so simply because, in the name of anti-fascism, some kids were killed. Because in 1975 killing a fascist with a wrench was not a crimeand therefore throwing that key from one’s imagination is not possible. Yet it is a party, I was saying, that has nothing to do with the swastika. Whose history cannot admit that someone is both anti-Semitic and head of the secretariat, which has, so to speak, a double or triple moral”. Storace now refers to Elisa Segnini“who for a thousand and a few euros a month” worked, until his resignation arrived yesterday morning, with Ylenja Lucaselli, FdI deputy linked to a man of Jewish faith. “That’s why I talk about hypocrisy. That’s why I think the problem is not ideological but behavioral, and I ask myself: what kind of men and women are these with double or triple morals?”. Do you think Meloni should kick them out? “I think she should dictate the agenda and take action. Without necessarily paying attention to Arianna’s judgment or Donzelli’s verdict. Without making ideological somersaults, declaring yourself anti-fascist, dissolving movements and denying a history. Rather, underline, with a cultural and training movement, its closeness to the present.
In any case, if you are the boss, you simply set the agenda. In this perhaps Meloni should take an example from Matteo Salvini.” Really. “From Salvini, of course, who I frequent for friendship reasons. A profoundly liberal leader, the most democratic I have ever known.” Did you vote for Lega? “As is known, I voted for Vannacci, not Meloni. And, I repeat: I think that the prime minister should follow the party of her ally in this. A plural party, which has always tolerated dissent to its extreme consequences. ‘With us everyone says what they want’, said Roberto Maroni, ‘but then it’s the boss who decides and the line is followed’”.
