ROME – “I will have the pleasure of republishing that note by Silvio Berlusconi dedicated to the Honorable Meloni. It seems like an appropriate summary”, announces the president of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca speaking with reporters on the sidelines of the Great Hospitals meeting in the Cardarelli hospital in Naples.
The governor of Campania sets the clock back much further than February 16, 2024, the day of “you work, bitch”. Palazzo Madama, 14 October 2022. Voting for the election of the President of the Senate. Silvio Berlusconi is deeply irritated with Giorgia Meloni for the choice of Ignazio La Russa, who will be second in office in the state without the votes of Forza Italia. On a sheet of ‘Villa San Martino’ headed paper, the Knight writes: “Giorgia Meloni < /a>. A behavior 1. opinient 2. overbearing 3. arrogant 4. offensive change. She’s someone you can’t get along with“.
De Luca, recalling that episode, assures that he will dedicate “more in-depth thoughts to the Honorable Meloni next Friday” when, as usual, he will be the protagonist of a live broadcast on his social profiles. “We will do all the in-depth analysis – assures the governor of Campania – starting from the real outrage that was not grasped by public opinion in Italy: the outrage committed by Meloni against 550 mayors”. The reference is to demonstration which took place on 16 February, in Rome, with the first citizens of Campania and the South, against differentiated autonomy and for the unblocking of development and cohesion funds. Precisely on that occasion, De Luca, in a fury, defined Meloni as a “bitch”, a name used by the Prime Minister herself yesterday in Caivano.
De Luca claims that the mayors who took to the streets were “intimidated, checked at the motorway exit in Rome, on the buses that were headed to Piazza Santi Apostoli, pushed, blocked, offended, outraged by Meloni with an official statement The only insult there has been in the political life of this country is that statement from Meloni which offended 550 mayors who were in Rome to protest against the blockade of resources and who were fighting to open the construction sites. and create jobs. But public opinion in our country is more interested in cabaret, in words, in nonsense, than in substantive issues.”
After what happened on February 16, according to De Luca, “a democratic drift has begun in our country. We have never seen a government that outrages 550 mayors, who closes the doors of the ministries, who runs away and refuses to receive even a delegation. That is the real insult that no one has talked about and which I will talk about in a few days, reconstructing all the events, if only for the sake of it. to develop a democratic conscience and to wake up a country that seems a little narcotized to me, which has not yet fully understood the drift towards which Italy is heading”.
“Yesterday I would have expected first of all a visit (by Giorgia Meloni, ed.) to Brescia, on a symbolic date for our country – he adds – The Caivano pitches can be inaugurated at any time. Not that anniversary. It would have been right first of all to go to Brescia to pay homage to the fallen, to reconfirmthe commitment against the neo-fascism that has tormented Italy for decades”.
