Giorgia Meloni feels “under siege”. She too was “surrounded”. As if she were “in 41 bis”, the maximum security regime where mafiosi and terrorists end up. Precisely for this reason you say to a TV director friend: «I don’t trust anyone anymore. And maybe I shouldn’t trust you either.” While the head of his private secretariat Patrizia Scurti, who ended up in the newspapers at the time of the fake phone call from the African leader which was actually made by two Russian comedians, tries to impose a regime of silence even on diplomats. And she cancels trips all the time. This evening you were due to see UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Then she was supposed to arrive in Saudi Arabia. And even the inauguration of a barracks in Aspromonte was canceled at the last minute.
Encirclement syndrome
The print makes it known that on the occasion of the visit with the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi, RAI was also alerted. The public television had arranged everything for the service on site. In the end the plane left with the identification code of the Prime Minister’s Office. But without her on board. An encirclement syndrome from which few are spared. Among these, in addition to Scurti, there is the undersecretary Giovanbattista Fazzolari. Who from the trenches of Palazzo Chigi continues to move showgirls to defend the government and repel opposition attacks. Then there is the darkness. And beyond the hedge the unknown. He tells friends and confidants about his sense of oppression. Because of his role, he brings with him endless responsibilities. But also internal difficulties with allies. And with his party.
Furious Giorgia
Immediately after the elections Meloni reserved his fury for attacks coming from abroad. Regarding the French minister, Boone spoke of unacceptable interference against a sovereign state. Then, at the time of the formation of the executive, he took issue with the diktats and threatened to return to the vote. She also got angry at the last edition of the Sanremo festival, due to Rosa Chemical’s performance. But the last (private, very private) arrows she reserved for Matteo Salvini. The main culprit for the centre-right’s defeat in Sardinia due to the votes not reaching Paolo Truzzu. Even if at the time it was she who imposed the candidate who was then defeated at the polls. Today the Captain’s political unpredictability is intertwined with fears about the budget law.
The missing money
The last occasion was the story of the 80 euros more in the next thirteenth. Announced as a Renzi-style move to win the European elections and ended with a postponement to the Council of Ministers due to poor coverage. On the Scurati case there was another anger but this time with his parents. He telephoned the general director Giampaolo Rossi and the in-depth director Paolo Corsini. Then he wrote the post in which he tried to put a stop to the censorship regarding the writer’s intervention on April 25th. Furthermore, she feels “persecuted” by reporters. Because of the leaks, for which she sets up a mole hunt every time. The atmosphere at Palazzo Chigi is that of a witch hunt. Or to conspiracies, like at the time of the separation from Andrea Giambruno.
The ghost of 2011
A year after her arrival at Palazzo Chigi she was worried about the alleged caretaker government ready to replace her. Another occasion of anger was that of the “trap” on the Def. She was described at the time as “out of the grace of heaven”. At the time, the ghost of 2011 also came back into vogue, that is, the fall of Silvio Berlusconi’s last government under the pressure of international institutions (the letter from the European Central Bank). You also evoked conspiracies in connection with the history of the dossier in the investigation into Pasquale Striano. Today she feels more and more alone. And tomorrow it will become even more difficult.
