Nordio and Piantedosi get in trouble with Almasri, Nobel Prize goes to Albanese: Meloni's government is a joke.

Europe has expressed its outrage over the American attack on Francesca Albanese , and the UN has expressed its even more outrage. And, naturally, so have Amnesty International and many international humanitarian organizations. An appeal for her to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize has even been launched by former Consul Marco Calamai. Calamai's appeal has been signed by hundreds of intellectuals.

Only Italy is missing. Yes, Francesca Albanese's country is absent. Our government, faced with an act of unprecedented American arrogance against an Italian citizen working for the UN, has chosen to remain silent. Washington's decision to announce sanctions against Albanese is a clear offense to common sense and also to Italy. Even more so since it was made public while President Trump was receiving at the White House a fugitive wanted by the Hague court, against whom there is an arrest warrant, and who is accused of horrendous war crimes and crimes against humanity. I'm talking about Netanyahu. A contradiction. Instead of sanctioning the perpetrator of the crimes, they sanction the official who reported the crimes and who gathered absolutely reliable information about the "business of genocide" and how major American companies, starting with Google, are participating in this "business" (and therefore also in this genocide). And what is the Italian government doing? What even the most submissive of vassals wouldn't do: he sews his mouth shut with wire.

Italian foreign policy has sunk to a very low ebb. Bettino Craxi comes to mind, slamming the phone on Reagan. And Reagan was Reagan. But Craxi—but also Andreotti , Moro , and various other Christian Democrats—was convinced that it was right to defend national sovereignty. And the country's dignity. Today's sovereignist leaders couldn't care less about Italy's dignity. For them, sovereignism means establishing a national bresaola day. A government like this has never been seen before. In these hours, following the revelations in L'Unità ( with articles by Paolo Comi ), the very serious responsibilities of half the government are emerging for the escape to Libya (we might say the prison escape) of the criminal Osama Almasri. This escape, it now seems certain, was facilitated by the Italian government and carried out on a state plane. An unprecedented circumstance. Unprecedented. And it especially concerns two key ministers: Nordio, justice, and Piantedosi, interior minister.

How can you not immediately get rid of two people so politically compromised? I remember when I was young, and the Nazi criminal Herbert Kappler managed to escape from the Celio military hospital, where he was being held prisoner (but without a state plane; he had himself locked in a large suitcase) after serving 32 years in prison (Almasri served only 32 hours): all hell broke loose. And the Minister of Defense (the DC's Lattanzio ) resigned immediately. A Carabinieri officer was arrested. We considered that government weak and arrogant. But compared to this, we would need to erect a monument to Lattanzio, to the Carabiniere, to President Leone , and to the head of government, Giulio Andreotti. Those were De Gasperi's students. These are Rampelli's students, from the Colle Oppio circle of the MSI!
