LA NOTIZIA: Lo sgarbo di Meloni Marina Berlusconi si oppone alla riforma della legge elettorale che Meloni vorrebbe. Ma è possibile che FI rompa con Meloni? Agata Roidi via email Gentile lettrice, tutto è possibile in politica, se viene il momento giusto. Rifletto talvolta su un episodio che illustra appieno il cinismo di Meloni. Nel 2022, quando vinse le elezioni, Meloni non solo non offrì un ministero a Berlusconi che aspirava agli Esteri, ma neppure lo consultò per la scelta dei ministri. Nominò Tajani, formalmente capo di Forza Italia ma in realtà un “dipendente” del partito-azienda, senza neppure consultare il capo. Capisco che B. ministro avrebbe fatto ombra a Meloni e sarebbe stato difficilmente addomesticabile, ma lo sgarbo fu gigantesco, anche sul piano umano. Meloni aveva un debito enorme, perché B. l’aveva elevata a ministra quando era solo una ragazzotta che sgomitava nelle retrovie di An ed è con quella nomina che cominciò la parabola ascendente della garbatellara. Di B. si può dire tutto il male o il bene possibile, ma era stato premier per 11 anni, leader politico per 28 anni, aveva avuto rapporti con W. Bush, Putin, Obama, Merkel, Gheddafi, Netanyahu, Erdogan e tutto il cucuzzaro. Aveva esperienza e pensiero politico, pur opinabile, e aveva segnato la storia italiana per tre decenni. Non fu né umano né decente gettarlo via come un calzino bucato. Non sta certo a me difenderlo, ma comunque lo si guardi l’episodio fu vergognoso e dà l’esatta misura della statura politica e umana di Meloni. È dunque possibile che i figli di B., Marina e Pier Silvio, non abbiano dimenticato e un giorno le chiedano il conto. Non piangeremmo. L'articolo Lo sgarbo di Meloni sembra essere il primo su LA NOTIZIA. Meloni’s rudeness Marina Berlusconi opposes the electoral reform that Meloni wants. But is it possible that FI will break with Meloni? Agata Roidi via email Dear reader, everything is possible in politics if the right moment arrives. I sometimes reflect on an episode that fully illustrates Meloni’s cynicism. In 2022, when she won the elections, Meloni not only didn’t offer Berlusconi a ministry in Foreign Affairs, but she didn’t even consult him for the choice of ministers. She appointed Tajani, formally the head of Forza Italia but in reality a “company employee,” without even consulting the head. I understand that B. as minister would have overshadowed Meloni and would have been difficult to tame, but the disrespect was enormous, even on a human level. Meloni had a huge debt, because B. had elevated her to a minister when she was just a young girl sneaking around in the backwaters of An, and it was with that appointment that the rise of the Garbatellara began. One can say everything good or bad about B., but she had been prime minister for 11 years, a political leader for 28 years, had had relationships with W. Bush, Putin, Obama, Merkel, Gheddafi, Netanyahu, Erdogan and the whole lot. She had experience and political thought, albeit debatable, and had marked Italian history for three decades. It was neither human nor decent to throw her away like a holey sock. It’s certainly not up to me to defend her, but whatever way one looks at the episode it was shameful and gives the exact measure of Meloni’s political and human stature. It is therefore possible that B.’s children, Marina and Pier Silvio, have not forgotten and one day demand an explanation from her. We wouldn't cry. The article Meloni’s disrespect seems to be the first on LA NOTIZIA. #Meloni #MarinaBerlusconi #AgataRoidi #Berlusconi #ForeignAffairs #Tajani #ForzaItalia #Garbatellara #WBush #Putin #Obama #Gheddafi #Netanyahu #Erdogan #Italian #Marina #PierSilvio #first #LANOTIZIA https://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/lo-sgarbo-di-meloni/

New Statesman | Morgan McSweeney can’t believe the Prince of Darkness betrayed him by Will Dunn AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Morgan McSweeney, a former No 10 chief of staff, testified before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, revealing that he and Prime Minister Keir Starmer were misled about Peter Mandelson’s suitability as Britain’s ambassador to the United States. Despite a due‑diligence file highlighting Mandelson’s scandal‑ridden past—including links to Jeffrey Epstein and a history of controversial behaviour—the government appointed him, hoping his name recognition and former EU trade commissioner role would secure a trade deal. McSweeney described feeling “like a knife through my soul” when the revelations emerged, insisting he had never been swayed by Mandelson and that the appointment was a gross lapse in judgment that undermined public trust in the Labour administration.
