Meloni against Fanpage: regime infiltrating parties

Giorgia Meloni does not remain silent. Not only does she comment on the Fanpage investigation that has quashed Gioventù Nazionale, FdI's 'spring team', but she goes on the counter-attack. 'Those who have racist, anti-Semitic or nostalgic feelings have the wrong house because these feelings are incompatible with Fratelli d'Italia,' he premises. Immediately afterwards, however, he sinks to the methods used by journalists to carry out the report, calling Sergio Mattarella himself into question: 'Infiltrating the meetings of political parties is regime-like. "Why has no one in 75 years considered infiltrating a political party and secretly filming meetings? Is that allowed? I ask the political parties' and also 'the president of the Republic'.

This is precisely the official position of the FdI: internally it is necessary to 'expel those who make mistakes', externally the manner of the investigation must be condemned. The party's organisation manager Giovanni Donzelli, the first to speak on the subject, calls it a 'disgrace'. 'There is a very obvious problem of people trying to pretend that it is journalism to commit crimes,' he argues, 'there are minors who have in fact been spied on and followed. The boys of National Youth? 'They are beautiful, a healthy movement' in general, then 'if someone has made mistakes they pay the consequences'. Francesco Giubilei, editor of Nazione Futura, reiterates: 'The investigation began by infiltrating a person in the editorial office of a magazine, Nazione Futura. I ask my fellow editors and journalists: can you infiltrate a person into another newspaper? In our opinion, this is a dangerous way of acting that undermines the very independence of the work of an editorial staff and therefore the freedom of the press'.

In short, the demissions of the National Youth militants, Flaminia Pace and Elisa Segnini, have by no means closed the case. Which continues to fuel a bitter clash between majority and opposition and beyond. The laughter against Melonian Senator Ester Mieli, first welcomed by the GN youth in a club and then denigrated, hit the Jewish community. With the Roman president, Victor Faldun, who in an interview hoped that the premier, after condemning the racial laws and fascism, would have 'the courage' to call herself 'anti-fascist'. While CGIL secretary Maurizio Ladini speaks of freedom of information being called into question.

Meloni 'says that independent enquiries are the stuff of regimes, for us it's called democracy', attacks the M5S in the voice of Chamber group leader Francesco Silvestri. "Legitimate for a media outlet to infiltrate a party? Yes, President Meloni: get to the substance. When will she take action? - asks Sandro Ruotolo, the Pd's information manager - When will she solidarise with the Pd secretary insulted and threatened by the young people of FdI?". After Meloni, in a passage of her speech, had referred to that "political party that says that it is possible to squat houses" and that candida "people investigated for being part of the gang of the hammer," Avs also insists. The President of the Council "makes outlandish insinuations against us," replies Nicola Fratoianni, "Rather clean up thoroughly and definitively within his party of fascist and Nazi rubbish. With us they will never find militants who hate democracy, Jews, migrants or who do not respect the rights of lgbtq people'. From Iv Matteo Renzi says he is astonished by the premier's 'reaction. The problem,' he points out, 'is not the journalists who make scoops. The problem is the racist anti-Semites who praise Hitler'.
