Intervention from Giorgia Meloni in Naples in a packed room ten days before the vote, this made the opposition parties, especially the Democratic Party, uneasy, as can be seen from the statement Sandro RuotoloMEP of Neapolitan origin. What really disturbed members of the European Parliament was not the attack from the stage, but rather the jubilant moment in which Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni broke loose and mentioned a few things. I jumped to the tunes, sung loudly by the audience, “whoever doesn’t jump is a communist“. An ironic and different end to the election campaign than usual, which ended with Mameli’s song. Maybe the Democratic Party prefers the center-right wing to sing Bella Ciao?
However, Ruotolo responded personally to the Prime Minister’s brief chorus, entrusting social media with toxic invective against Meloni and those with him on stage in Naples, trying to directly engage his followers to perhaps gain some sort of approval. “But have you seen it? On stage shouting ‘he who doesn’t jump is a communist!’, all that was missing was ‘you are a flea’ addressed to us in the democratic camp. They looked like gods fascists on the way“, wrote Ruotolo. However, from the stage no one turned to anyone else who accused him of doing something at that moment, insulting others. The MEP tried to build a narrative in his 10 seconds of free time that there was a long afternoon at the end of the election campaign, which defined that moment”an embarrassing sight, da twenty year table thrown to Mars“.
And to justify his criticism, in an effort to capitalize on Democratic Party voters who read his posts, Ruotolo also talked about a different kind of autonomy, perhaps trying to stir up controversy. “President Meloni, Because no one is stupid“, concluded Ruotolo, who attached to the angry social note a photo collage in which he shows himself with an almost mocking look next to the jumping Prime Minister.
If this was the only moment of Meloni’s speech that the PD felt inclined to challenge, then this means the center-right conference was on target and seemed unassailable even from broad circles, who found nothing better in a nearly two-hour electoral meeting in which the leaders of the coalition and the main exponents of the parties that make it up took turns. As the famous social page “The Journalai” says: You don’t even know how to joke.
