Fondi Lega, Salvini-Carofiglio collide in La7. “You are obsessed.” “He never responds, he is an expert in political victimization”

Ask and answer one “Dimartedì” (La7) between the leader of the Lega, Matteo Salvini, and the former magistrate Gianrico Carofiglio on the communication technique of Senator del Carroccio, who vigorously disputes the topic of debate in the study, centered on the judicial investigation of the Milan Public Ministry that led to the arrest of three accountants close to the party.
Salvini accuses: “There are people outside who are worried about the school. You are obsessed. Were there before Damilano and Travaglio they were talking about the referendum and Salvini was involved. Now too. You have an obsession. Do you know that Italians have much bigger problems? ”.

Driver, Giovanni floris, intervenes to explain that the Milanese investigation is also important and interesting for Italians, because it could be public money paid irregularly. And Salvini reiterates, laughing: “Ah, the Italians are very worried, look. They stop me on the street not because of taxes, mortgages, rents and school, but because of the two accountants ”.
Carofiglio comments: “I am fascinated by the way Senator Salvini proposes not even his arguments, but his slogan. It corresponds extraordinarily precisely to what manual that circulated in the circles of the American right and, they tell me, also in other places. Salvini’s sigh is also part of this technique.. The essence of the manual is this: don’t answer any questions and obsessively repeating what you are saying at the beginning – he explains – because that must be the subject. And we are listening tonight an obsessive repetition of no arguments and a lack of answers. I do not want to talk about the investigations of the League, or the lawsuits that concern him, or his absenteeism when he was Minister of the Interior, because they are all things that he does not respond to and will never respond ”.

Salvini laughs and the writer observes: “He laughs according to the script. This is also part of the technique ”.
And the leader of the League stands up: “Oh, Madonna, but what should I do? I have to cry. Tell me your manual and what facial expression I have to maintain, so that I respectfully conform and do not take offense. “
Carofiglio comments: “In February 2020 the New York Times, in a piece dedicated to her, he wrote verbatim: “Salvini is an expert on political victimization.” And it is exactly the attitude that we are witnessing tonight, because, according to him, the magistrates persecute us and the journalists tell us false things ”.
