09.01.2025Fire in Los Angeles, Press in Rome
Biden's cancellation of his Italy trip due to Los Angeles wildfires dominated morning coverage, while media attention shifted to Meloni's annual press conference, where she addressed both domestic and international matters. The conference became a stage for three interconnected narratives: Cecilia Sala's release (with Meloni describing her call to Sala's mother as her "greatest emotion"), repeated denials of Starlink discussions with Musk, and statements about Trump's reliability regarding Ukraine.

By afternoon, pension reform controversy erupted as CGIL claimed INPS quietly extended retirement age, leading to quick official denials. Evening coverage centered on Zelensky's flash visit to Rome, meeting Meloni at Palazzo Chigi, marking a continuation of Italy's diplomatic push following the Mar-a-Lago meeting. Media treatment of these events revealed underlying tensions between government and opposition outlets, particularly regarding Musk versus Soros narratives.

Conversazione col direttore dell'Institute of Global Studies: "Il caso di Cecilia Sala mette in luce i profondi dissidi interni. La magistratura voleva indebolire il presidente Pezeshkian. La Repubblica islamica non è più un monolite, c’è una sfida aperta anche alla Guida Suprema Khamenei". All'orizzonte però non prende forma una rivoluzione democratica, "manca una leadership", mentre l'unico apparato veramente forte e organizzato restano i pasdaran

Il primo si è arricchito anche grazie a ingenti commesse statali e finanziamenti pubblici, il secondo no. Il primo presto farà parte di un governo (quello degli Usa), il secondo non ha mai avuto ruoli diretti in politica. E c'è anche un terzo punto che li differenzia...

Mentre Macron, Scholz e Sánchez si agitano per le sparate di Trump e per le ingerenze di Musk, la premier spezza tutte le lance a favore della nuova America: derubrica le minacce del presidente eletto alla Groenlandia come "messaggio energico alla Cina", minimizza le incursioni del patron di SpaceX nel confronto col diavolo George Soros. Con lei c'è von der Leyen, ormai schierata col nuovo corso sovranista americano. A serio rischio l’Ue, debole per gli imperdonabili ritardi di competitività

Il Manifesto
«È solo un ricco e famoso che esprime le sue opinioni, come tanti. Le sue non sono ingerenze». Meloni non molla Musk, mentre lui straripa con la leader neonazi tedesca: «Hitler? Era un comunista». Per la premier italiana «Elon fa parlare tutti». E conferma l’accordo sui satelliti
