Minister Urso sues Il Foglio and Il Riformista for the nickname Adolfo “Urss”
The Minister of Made in Italy Adolfo Urso to the defendant “The paper” and asks for compensation of €500 thousand. The request for civil mediation, a step which is a prelude to civil action, was filed – reports Il Foglio – close to the European elections, last 7 June. Urso sued Luciano Caponein addition to the director Claudio Cerasa and also initiated proceedings against Annarita Digiorgio and the former director of the Reformist Andrew Ruggieri for an article that covered the same topics. Urso would not have liked the articles relating to him “statist industrial policy“. According to the minister, the journalists cited “have behaved seriously damaging his honor and reputation“.
The minister – continues Il Foglio – also mentions in the complaint two articles dated August 3, 2023 – one by Luciano Capone on Il Foglio and the other by Annarita Digiorgio on Riformista – “from perfectly overlapping content and where the use of an original nickname is resorted to, but with highly denigrating connotations, such as Adolf USSR“.
A nickname – claims Il Foglio – which was not so outrageous if Urso himself, after a few days, defined it smiling “a nice thing“. He felt denigrated after a year, after a long time. Il Foglio then cites the Affariitaliani.it event, La Piazza, the political event created by the director Angelo Maria Perrino which is held every year in Ceglie Messapica in the province of Toasts. After the article, – continues Il Foglio – at the Affaritaliani event on 26 August, in response to a question about the name “Adolfo Urss” which defined it as “a little Soviet“, Urso said behind the articles there was “a tissue” and therefore an instigator. “They wrote – said Urso – the same article, identical, with the same plot, the same references. It looked like a tissue.”
ADOLFO URSO’S INTERVENTION IN LA PIAZZA: FROM 7.20 PM
