Inevitable defense of the minister Sangiulian from Italo Bocchinowhat a guest at Half past eight (La7), after belittling the centre-left’s victory in the municipal elections and blaming the right’s defeat on abstentionism, completely exonerates the former director of Tg2 from the stumble on Galileo Galilei.
“When will we make an almanac of gaffes – began the former PDL parliamentarian, replying to the director of Tomorrow Emiliano Fittipaldi who listed several government gaffes, from Lollobrigida to Salvini – we will discover that previous governments have records that this government, even if it lasts 5 years permanently, will not be able to overcome”.
“I don’t think so, you know? We are talking about a very short period of time”, comments the presenter Lilli Gruber.
Bocchino continues his speech: “I don’t know if Sangiuliano’s is a gaffe. Maybe he simply wanted to say that Christopher Columbus did what Galileo Galilei later theorized.”
“Eh, but he said it differently,” replies Gruber.
“He made a different summary which appears to be a gaffe,” reiterates Bocchino.
“We are truly moving from one century to the next,” comments the journalist.
Bocchino then replies to Fittipaldi: “The results of this government are there for all to see.”
“Exactly”, Fittipaldi replies smiling.
The editorial director of Century of Italy praises Sangiuliano and his work, underlining: “He blocked this vulgar clientelism”.
“Yes, in fact, Sangiuliano is against clientelism and for merit,” replies Gruber, who has another exchange with Bocchino at the beginning of the broadcast, when his guest defines Macron and Scholz “politically dead walking”.
Bocchino’s metaphor triggers hilarity in the studio and firstly the journalist Aldo Cazzullo, then Emiliano Fittipaldi express their contrary opinion. Bocchino asks to speak in vain, then comments: “You didn’t make me speak. I ask for the intervention of the blue helmets”.
“I’m your blue helmet”, replies Gruber”.
“Faded”, comments Bocchino.
