Sanremo, Paola Egonu: "Italy is a racist country but it is improving"
The volleyball player tonight co-host: «National team? I'd go back if there was a chance." The director of Rai1 Coletta against Fedez's freestyle (produced by Salmo): "An attack like this is not a right""Italy is a racist country but it is improving".
Said Paola Egonu, the volleyball champion and tonight co-host with Amadeus and Gianni Morandi on the third evening of the Sanremo Festival, answering a question about Matteo Salvini (who had said «She's a great sportswoman, but I hope she doesn't get at the Festival to make a tirade about racist Italy»).
"I don't want to play the part of the victim, but simply say how things are" , reiterated Egonu, adding: "Going back to playing in the national team? I'm metabolizing everything, but if there were to be the possibility, yes I would".
In the press conference, the director of Rai1 Stefano Coletta was critical of the "surprise" of Fedez , who yesterday in connection with the ship Costa Smeralda, moored off the coast of the city of flowers, proposed a "freestyle" produced by Salmo in which he snatched the photo by Deputy Minister Galeazzo Bignami dressed as a Nazi, attacked the Minister for the Family Eugenia Roccella on the issue of abortion ("Unfortunately, abortion is a right, yes, but I didn't say it, a minister said it") and Codacons .
As for Angelo Duro's monologue : «Behind the irreverence there was a non-trivial reasoning. It made some smile and silence others», commented Coletta: «Those who make television must also innovate. We have to deal with the language of stand up comedy».
FDI AND THE FOIBES - From the Parliament, after the controversy over Rosa Chemical , comes a new raid this time on the sinkholes : «It would be a good signal for Italy if on the evening of February 10, Remembrance Day, even from the Sanremo stage remembered the tragedy of the sinkholes and the drama of the exodus of the 350,000 Italians from Fiume, Istria, Dalmatia», declare the senators of the Brothers of Italy Lavinia Mennuni, Roberto Menia and Andrea De Priamo. And again: «Finally, it would also be a way to remember the great Julian-Dalmatian artists, actors and singers, such as Laura Antonelli, Gianni Garko, Wilma Goich, Alida Valli, Sergio Endrigo, also exiles who chose out of love for Italy to remain free and Italians».
