The degradation of an event that we should remember to forget as soon as possible

What degradation and what squalor. We spent a bit of summer getting passionate – so to speak – about something, that between Sangiuliano and miss Bowlwhich to call a sheep is an understatement. A man of power falls in love with what in English they call gold diggerand in Italy in a much less noble way, in a dynamic so well known as to be cloying. You know how the story is and you know how it ends. With her who blackmails him, post after postputting him under pressure. And he who strings together – to use my son’s words – a series of dark figures. And so: denial, crying on the news, offered resignation, irrevocable resignation, public apologies, escape to the hermitage with his wife to try to save the marriage. A Neapolitan farce, in every sense. And she who is interviewed as if she were Saint Maria Goretti by media interested in harming Georgia Meloni for a bed and sheets storyrubbish not even good enough to fill half a Harmony. In the end The Prime Minister accepts Sangiuliano’s resignation and Alessandro Giuli arrives. And here happens what always happens: a web search for anything the new minister has said, even out of context, just to start delegitimizing him. The word games begin. One I read is that Giuli is a SanGIULIano in short, from the fact that the surname of the old minister “contains” the surname of the new one. And then various idiocies that always end in the only possible way: he is a fascist. Oh well. At the bottom of this story I am increasingly convinced that there may also be an excellent leader, but if there are people around who think about skirts, who stop the Frecciarossa, who do things that in the orbe terraqueo are conceived by ordinary mortals as immense stupidities, we are not going anywhere, nailed to that tragicomic that seems to be the hallmark of Italian governmentsfrom the one who stopped to ask directions to a trans on the street to the one who thinks he’s in love with a woman who wants advice from the ministry. And who knows what tomorrow will bring.
