“Berlusconi? The usual lion, if he plays it; my candidate? Noemi Di Segni”
Journalist, collaborator of Italian Affairs and expert in organized crime, Klaus Davi has his say on current political issues, starting with the race for the Quirinale: “I repeat what I said, I don’t think Mario Draghi can drop everything and go to the Quirinale. As I explained to Veronica Gentili the other night at ‘Controcorrente’, I believe that he will ‘sacrifice’ himself and remain in government. The fourth wave, the economic situation, the PNRR speech, the fact that practically no one wants to go to elections make me opt for continuity. It is true that we are recovering, but we are not exaggerating. It’s a jobless recovery, with an entire area of the country struggling like my beloved south. With a fierce and aggressive ‘no vax’ movement. The same statements as Angela Merkel about Italy I have interpreted them like this: Mario stays in your place“.
And Berlusconi?
“A lion, really, a fighter. If he plays it and is back at the center. Something that seemed unthinkable. For the first time I think that for this position he cannot be ignored”.
Will he deal the cards?
“Yes, and I find it positive. He is a convinced pro-European, pro vax, moderate. And it is clear that he has a feeling with Enrico Letta”.
But wouldn’t it be a woman’s turn?
“Yes, and we have many up to it. Noemi Di Segni, president of the UCEI, would be a huge blow. If it depended on me, I would make her a senator for life and then president “.
Veltroni? Gentiloni?
“I have deep esteem for both of them. I personally appreciated Walter Veltroni’s social sensitivity towards young people and the disadvantaged. He would be up to it very well. Paolo Gentiloni, on the other hand, serves us in Europe”.
There is talk of suspension of the talks ….
“I believe in the multiplication of rumors. But I also believe that the golden age of sovereignty is over. As we have understood it in the past, at least. In my opinion, however, a level playing field between science and anti-science is wrong. it is legitimate to criticize forcing business or easy enthusiasm. But we cannot compare sorcerers and sorcerers to those who fight in the trenches to save lives. It is dangerous and offensive. But I repeat, information, even if annoying, cannot be touched.
How are you reading Salvini’s interlocutory moment?
“For him it is hard in this phase with a ‘conservative’ like Draghi who cools everything down, but the Captain will rise again. He has a brilliant talent that the League cannot do without. I have seen him at work in Calabria and Sicily. . I saw him in San Luca. It is not easy to campaign as a Northern League supporter in certain territories. But he succeeded. Fedriga and Zaia in asking for votes in Locride I really don’t see them …. “.
Returning to the information. Mediaset made headlines for the announced downsizing of the news, only to be denied. What do you think of it?
“They reorganized the line and renewed their studies and technology. They invested a lot and convinced them. They are among the engines of the journalism course of the IULM. Piersilvio Berlusconi is even more attentive than before to the quality of information. Honestly, I don’t see any downsizing. . Indeed. Also because the programs are going really well. In a few years they have transformed a network perceived as ‘telenovelas’ into a channel that often and willingly breaks the competition. It was not taken for granted. Not to mention Andrea Pucci, director of all Newsmediaset , a long-time reporter with an enviable school. I remember him when he covered the feuds of ‘Ndrangheta in Calabria at the Giornale as a correspondent. And don’t do it from the desk, he was on the spot “.
And the cut of regional news on Rai?
“But if things are going better on Rai 3! Instead of cutting, they should call Alessandro Casarin, director of regional news and commission some programs in prime time. It is total madness. Information is the life insurance of the publishers. It guarantees investments, reputation, prestige “.
You are the head of a well-established communications agency, how do you see the market?
“Excellent for us. The theme of corporate reputation and strategic communication has returned to the detriment of that tactic based only on social media. I was saying this the other day to some managers of the Cairo group: this is the time to explain to customers print media is an absolute guarantee of reliability. Giving up investments on information sites and print media can be very expensive “.
Projects?
“I am working on specials on organized crime in Foggia, Campania and on a classic theme of mine, the Mafia in the north. I will start working on it in January. In a few days my interview with Antonino Imerti, known as ‘Nano Feroce’, protagonist of the most bloody wars of ‘Ndrangheta. The only interview he ever gave in his very long criminal life “.
