There is no doubt that the record for the worst summer gaffes goes to him: Carlo Tavecchio, incredible candidate for the presidency of the Italian Football Federation after the sinking of the national team at the World Cup in Brazil. He has really taken a lot of highlights. But he's not the only one. What about the Grand Inquisitor Marco Travaglio, who asks for a pardon for the king of trash Fabrizio Corona? Or Sabina Guzzanti, who makes a film (how much wasted effort!) to argue that the prime minister is the heir of Licio Gelli? Without forgetting the ineffable Beppe Grillo, who comes to sanctify Bossi, it matters little that the former leader of the League is under investigation for fraud against his party.
Tavecchio however, he remains the king of highlights and, if there weren't the risk of seeing him at the helm of the Football Federation, it would be laughable. Horrifying. Every time he opens his mouth it's a surefire disaster. He had begun with racist expressions about who eats bananas: “We are not like England. Here comes Opti Pobà, who used to eat bananas and now plays as a starter for Lazio". He made it worse by claiming that he was "treated worse than Kennedy's assassin". Tavecchio is a pathetic and harmful caricature, but what about those executives who support his candidacy? Galliani and Lotito, don't you feel a little ashamed? And will the Inter of Moratti and Thohir continue to play the virgin?
But highlights, as we said, never come alone. The partial pardon requested by the deputy director of "Fatto Quotidiano" Marco Travaglio for Fabrizio Corona, who is serving his sentence in the Opera prison, is astounding. Travaglio argues that the sentence imposed on Corona for extortion, about 13 years in prison which was later reduced to 9, is too harsh, because it is aggravated by the so-called impediment crime, i.e. the sentence that does not allow for sentence reductions and which is taken for the photos blackmail against the former Juve center forward, David Trezeguet. For Travaglio, an act of clemency would be needed for "a boy who has done all sorts of things but without hurting anyone but himself". Poor coconut. Many have been heard of analyzes of the justice crisis in Italy, but the provocation of a first-time handler like Travaglio offers us an original key to understanding: at the top of the problems of justice and Italy is the Corona case. And to think we hadn't noticed...
Another nice highlight is also the latest film by Sabina Guzzanti, "The negotiation", which plans to surprise by attacking the prime minister and supporting the laughable thesis according to which the agreement between Matteo Renzi and Silvio Berlusconi on the Italicum is the latest fruit of Licio Gelli's P2 plan which had had its axis pivotal in the rise to power of the head of Forza Italia and in the State-Mafia negotiation. To launch a film with little pretensions, you can resort to everything, but is Guzzanti there or is she doing it?
Finally, the ineffable Cricket. Since he no longer gets it right and Aventine's suicidal tactic adopted in the Senate ended up in a sensational own goal that gave the majority an advantage over the reform, the comedian tries to explore other paths by seeking new alliances. “Bossi? Yes, he was a statesman,” Grillo now claims. Try to tell him that even the Northern League supporters of Maroni and Salvini no longer think so, who must recover the sums unduly ended up in Bossi's pockets. Even if for very noble reasons such as buying a fake degree in Albania at Trota. But let's not be scandalized: as always, Grillo's provocations are not politics, but pure comedy (so to speak!) and many Italians are beginning to understand this.
