• Italy: Salvini asks to take immigrants from the Open Arms to Ibiza "to have fun"
  • Opinion: Matteo Salvini's moment

"Clown!" The leader of the 5 Star Movement, Luigi Di Maio, told the head of the League, the sovereignist Matteo Salvini, on Friday. Luckily, for 14 months they were Government partners. But although it seems a lie, transalpine politicians are giving away, at this time, their worst dialectic. Italy, a country whose students learn from children to speak in public through oral exams; he observes with indignation how his representatives, lacking any form of good taste when confronting the adversary, do not skimp on insults, teasing and memes through social networks.

"To the insults of the grillinos [M5E] and other kompañeros [with ka in ironic reference to the left] we respond only with the strength of our ideas, " the League leader and still Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on Saturday. "Dear Salvini, come up with something else to justify what you have done, clown!" Di Maio said Friday against Salvini's accusations of a possible alternative government to the current one, between the M5E and the Democratic Party (PD) of Nicola Zingaretti . " A vomiting spectacle is the one who disguises himself as a protector of the people who, however, is a slave of the system," says on the other hand in reference to Salvini the grillino Alessandro Di Battista, relevant and alternative figure to Luigi Di Maio within the M5E , closer to the left.

" Salvini has generated a government crisis wearing a swimsuit while counting a huge amount of bullshit," says nothing more and nothing less than the Vice President of the Senate, Paola Taverna. His colleague, the member of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Battelli, posted on Facebook that "if the polls are before the Italians, then take their ass ." In relation to the summer tour of Salvini in southern Italy, with a strong electoral flavor, former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (PD) - first head of the Italian Government to use social networks normally - warns him on Facebook that there is no No secret agreement with the M5E: "Salvini, please: less mojitos and more tilas ." The leader of the League, meanwhile, made one of his worst xenophobic statements less than a week ago, when at a rally he said: "Only in Italy one who is under house arrest, who lives in an illegal gypsy camp, can threaten of death the Minister of the Interior ". He added: "But for journalists the problem is not the fucking gypsy. But calm down, we will raze your house."

Far away are the oratory skills of Alcide De Gasperi during the founding of the EU, of Enrico Berlinguer to bet on the Eurocommunism and Giulio Andreotti to reflect, with bite, on the boot-shaped country. Today, the Vice Presidents of the Government, Di Maio and Salvini prefer to use Facebook and Twitter. If attending to the RAE dictionary, the rhetoric is "the art of good saying, of giving written or spoken language enough effectiveness to delight, persuade and move " today the political dialectic basically focuses on real-time political insult.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has not yet resigned because he prefers to wait for the motion of censure that the Salvini League has decided to present to him in the Senate most likely in the next ten days. The 5 Star Movement of Luigi Di Maio, majority partner of the current Executive, and the League have been Government allies for the past 14 months. It is a too anomalous coalition for two such ideologically different formations . However, for reasons of convenience, a year ago they were united by populism and antiestablishment . The last straw came last Wednesday, when the M5E refused to vote on the motion of confidence of its own Executive to approve the construction of the Turin-Lyon AVE. Di Maio and Salvini, now that they know they will not be partners again, take advantage of the immediacy and dissemination of social networks to insult themselves as they would not know how to do face to face. Or maybe, it's all part of a staging. Where the Italians are not only mere spectators.
