Meloni, even in the face of a rape does the propaganda stop

He did not resist. After weeks of silent electoral campaign, she is careful to lepenize herself enough and not to upset too much the stomachs of the corpaccione of the Italians who will take her to Palazzo Chigi, Giorgia Meloni releases the “crap bomb “. On the other hand, he had to give a signal to him, after a long time of communication on a slow fire. Thus, on the evening of August 21, he raises the video of a rape took place in Piacenza, at dawn on the same day, of which a 55-year-old Ukrainian woman was the victim and for which a 27-year-old Guinean asylum seeker was arrested.

The disgust is double, of course, because the leader who claims the tricolor flame relaunches a clip evidently shot by a resident of the area and published by Messengerwhich does not take into account the journalist’s duties in cases of gender-based violence: “It sticks to the essentiality of the news and to continence”. Worse are other newspapers like Free, which give up even the pixels on the scene. In both cases, the Augustan election campaign comes broken by the victim’s screams of terror. In addition to rape, the woman must undergo that of a press that it is no longer possible to define it as suchunworthy neo-Orbanian bass drum, and above all (yes, mostlyif politics violates the news, even exceeds it in gravity, at least under the moral aspect) that perpetrated by the propaganda of a person candidate to sit at Palazzo Chigi. A person who, after such a choice, in any country except Budapest or Moscow, would cancel any government ambition, apologize and retire to private life. Together with his staff, similarly responsible for a move with no return: to abuse the pain of others for one’s own practical ends.

The rape post doesn’t come by itself. It is paired with another content not to be missed, the one published on Facebook in which Meloni, with tones worthy of a documentary from the Istituto Luce, explains that he wants to “fight drugs and deviations, raise generations of new healthy and determined Italians“. There is a reason in the abrupt communicative turn: established the leadership in the coalition and the victory of the center-right on September 25 (almost 90% of single-member constituencies already seem in their pockets), now all that remains for the Brothers of Italy is the final three of a kind. Result ie first party of Italy, surpassing the Democratic Party. It would be sensational en plein: first list, the triumph of the coalition, overwhelming numbers in Parliament, Italy completely changing its international position and credibility. The beginning of another political era. That of those who campaigned in this way.

For this reason, with 34 days from the vote, Meloni runs the risk: lowering the dignity of an already indecorous, gray, unclear political line about the past and the present, returning to the tones of the rallies for Vox, relaunching any content, rape video is fine too, in order to compact their own, move up to the last vote, double Salvini’s League while remaining confident that what will be gained will exceed what is lost. Salvini, among other things, who had launched himself a few hours earlier on the same news story but who, in the most ferocious retaliation that drags the country down, was overtaken by one more to the right of him.

In a word: Giorgia Meloni threw that candidate mask that some considered even brilliant, from the top of the class, “a good one”. In reality it was a very recognizable mask, worn in recent weeks just to fool the usual naive. The absurdity, if you think about it, is all in this sentence: try to win, or rather overwhelm the elections, earning votes on the video of a rape. Reread it aloud and you will have the pulse of the risks that this country runs from all points of view.
