The last hours beforeReport investigation – which will shine the spotlight on Alessandro Giuli’s past from youth militancy to the management of Maxxi – pass slowly and without new sensational indiscretions. “I will probably watch” the episode “at home, live on the phone with my lawyer”, says the owner of Culture. Who puts his hands forward: «I didn’t do anything wrong. Never betrayed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni” who “was also aware” of his collaboration with the League. But it doesn’t end here. Il Fatto Quotidiano recounts an outburst from the owner of Culture, between friendly and opposition fire, with a confidant in a restaurant: «My corpse will be full of fingerprints», “do they not think that I will disappear into the darkness?”.
Within FdI the main question now is to find a point of failure to move forward after the resignation of the now former head of cabinet of the Mic, Francesco Spanowhich increased tension in the party. To replace the manager and substantiate that indispensable internal truce, a mediation figure would be sought between the different sensitivities in FdI. A match, not a simple one, which would directly affect the relationship between the Mic owner and Palazzo Chigi. Maybe not by chance Giuli claims his independence and the “excellent relationships, openly, with writers, artists, filmmakers”, relationships even “better” than those “with many political exponents, including those” of his “party. In a government whose majority party has the 30% there must be room for a progressive right” and “this is also clear to the prime minister, who wanted me here, otherwise I wouldn’t be here”, he underlines.
Meanwhile, Sigfrido Ranucci’s broadcast is announced via social media: «The representative of the neo-fascist and neo-Nazi extra-parliamentary right Rainaldo Graziani was interviewed and he recounted ‘the origins of the political life of the current minister of culture: he defines him as a brilliant figure within the Meridiano Zero organisation, a neo-Nazi inspired movement and esoteric influences.” The journalists on the militancy in Meridiano Zero ask Giuli himself for a reply: «What was the need for Rainaldo Graziani to say that? I had already written it in the past, in the Foglio – the minister replies – The eagle tattooed on the chest? It is a reproduction of a coin from the 1st century AD, imperial age”, “it has nothing to do with the Twenty Years”. The picture is also made up of the counter-anticipation – again via social media – of the interview with Graziani by the person directly involved who claims the “right” to declare himself “illiberal” and states about Giuli: “He’s so white that he couldn’t be whiter you can”, “if he decided to stay with the neoliberal system he went that way. A South American author would have called him the white traitor.” Ranucci, during the day, also made known Gasparri’s request to stop the episode of Report. We are certain that we are not violating any Agcom regulations. I remind everyone that the electoral silence concerns politicians and parties, not journalists”, writes the host. The episode, coinciding with the regional elections in Liguria, returns to deal with the judicial affair that has shaken the Region. But there is another case that agitates Rai and the buildings: the words of Paolo Corsini, director of journalistic insights on Viale Mazzini. “After having denounced the journalist Corrado Formigli as infamous and after the publication of his old pro-fascist posts in Massimo Arcangeli’s book, he must resign”, attacks the information manager of the Democratic Party, Sandro Ruotolo who publishes a post on 25 April dated 2020 in whom Corsini invited to ‘stay at home on the occasion of the Liberation Day. And the group leader of the M5s in Supervision of Rai Dario Carotenuto adds to the matter: «The values of anti-fascism are the foundation of our common life. Anyone who apologizes for fascism is incompatible with the public service”
