The first government headed by a woman is now experiencing its third crisis, caused by the inability of men to behave like adults...
Even though we may not appreciate Giorgia Meloni and her politics, even though we may not like a certain tendency to reduce every problem to gender issues and every male behavior to an emblem of patriarchy, even though we may not be interested in the sentimental happenings of this government, it really takes a heart of stone not to feel a minimum of human solidarity, these days, for our prime minister.
With the Conte-Piantedosi affair, we are in fact in the third case in three years that sees her forced to face the political consequences of a marital-sentimental crisis, a direct consequence of the male inability to guarantee that minimum of healthy and careful management of the hormonal load that would be reasonable to expect from an adult, especially when the adult in question, or even his partner, has reached a position of power. The third case, after the unforgettable Sangiuliano-Boccia affair and after the embarrassing episode that led to the separation of the Prime Minister herself from her partner Andrea Giambruno.
In “Repubblica”, for example, Francesco Bei adds to the list the case of the minister-brother-in-law Francesco Lollobrigida and his separation from Arianna Meloni. But this seems to me to be another issue, related only to their private lives, without significant consequences for the government. I do not believe that the same can be said for the other three cases.
I do not intend to go into the details of the latest scandal, the one involving Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, because you can already find them in all the newspapers, because in the end I have a sensitive heart and because the essence seems to me to have been already said by Guia Soncini, or more precisely by Maurizio Costanzo, quoted by her, with "that phrase he used to say about the incompetents on television, that once the commanders opened a boutique for their girlfriends, and now a television program".
I'm more interested in the dynamics, the banality, and the repetition of behaviors, the bragging and vulgarities, the petty abuses, the grand illusions, and the inevitable disappointments that accompany these journeys, all the same, all so deeply depressing and at the same time, let's admit it, even to us men, so incredibly familiar.
Soncini criticizes left-wing commentators who “have learned nothing since the weeks when they confused Rosaria Boccia with Rosa Luxemburg”: “They have given up on the idea that the path to power in a country of thieves passes through accusing the opponent of corruption; and have begun to think that, in a republic built on adultery, consensus can be achieved by saying that it is scandalous to fix one’s mistress.”
Of course, it is easy now to mock the traditionalist right and its alleged values, the prime minister, a woman, mother and Christian, betrayed first by her partner, then by the minister who was supposed to be the leader of the new cultural hegemony, Gennaro Sangiuliano, and now by the interior minister, perhaps the most important for the image of the government of law and order.
There's nothing to be done with men in love: from the girls of the show, after the talk shows, every decree in the middle of the night is almost love. And in the end, really, these days it takes a heart of stone not to feel a sense of solidarity for Giorgia Meloni./ Adapted from "Pamphlet" by "Linkiesta"
