He claims Carlo Calenda that gives Clean square he was asked a sort of “I commit” ad attack the governmentas a clause for being invited on the show to talk about the maneuver. The host of the La7 talk show, Corrado Formiglihe replies, speaking of a “sesquipedal falsehood” and accuses him of “lie shamelessly to gain publicity“, challenging him to renounceparliamentary immunity to answer for defamation before a judge. The political-media controversy of New Year’s Eve arose from an interview by the leader of Action with the YouTuber Ivan Griecorelaunched by the latter on social media as a “sensational backstory“. In the reconstruction of Calenda, the authors of Clean squarespeaking with his spokesperson in view of participating in last Thursday’s episode, they asked him for a “guarantee” that would “attack Meloni” on the budget law. And due to the refusal to commit in this sense, the senator states, his guest would have been moved from the block on the budget to that on international politics. “But I say, have you lost your mind? It has never happened to me in another television program that they told me before “he must guarantee us that he will attack Meloni”. It’s not normal at all. But what is it, a democratic thing?”, the heated outburst of the former minister. A complaint found support in the senator of the Brothers of Italy Susanna Campionemember of the Culture Commission, according to which these are “very serious declarations”: “I wonder if the publisher Urbano Cairo is aware of the “Formigli method“adopted against the center-right and against a government expressing the will of the voters”, he thundered in a note.
Accusations to which Formigli responded on Wednesday morning with a long post on social media. “Desperate to attract attentionSenator Calenda keeps bringing me up. I decided not to give him any time so as not to fuel his little games. However, when faced with a sesquipedal falsehood, it is necessary to intervene, one-off”, begins the journalist. Calenda’s version, he states, “is false and defamatory“: “The authors of a programme, when they hear a guest before the episode, ask him or, as in the case of Calenda, his spokesperson, what position he has on the issues to be debated in order to compose a balanced parterre and dialectical”, he explains. “In this case, having been invited Italo Bocchinosupporter of the maneuver, the authors found out what Calenda’s opinion was on the matter to avoid too overlapping positions. It’s about the normal work of any television author, a profession whose rules Calenda evidently ignores or pretends to ignore. However, the senator is not allowed to lie shamelessly to gain publicity: his presence at the talk on the maneuver, after various exchanges of messages between my authors and his spokesperson, was confirmed at 10.33 on Thursday morning”, clarifies Formigli.
What happened then? “Subsequently,” explains the host, “however, something happened sudden: Monica Maggioniinvited for a discussion with the professor Jeffrey Sachswas forced to cancel her presence for strictly personal reasons. At that point, since Sachs was left without an interlocutor, we asked if he was willing to move from the block on the maneuver to the one with Sachs to discuss Ukraine and the international situation with him. The senator willingly accepted, despite shouting afterwards in the city and the world that inviting Sachs on TV is unworthy. Not enough, apparently, to refuse to confront him”, he underlines. “Last note: Senator Calenda knows very well that he has been moved to Sachs due to Maggioni’s forfeit, yet he publicly claims that the reason is his not sufficiently anti-Melonian positions on the maneuver. Lie for a politician and former minister it is a serious matter, elsewhere we resign. And with this I think that’s all there is to Senator Calenda. Next time, if he agrees to waive his immunity, I’ll see you in court,” he comments.
