A clash between former MP Italo Bocchino and journalist Antonio Padellaro occurred during the "Il libro possibile" festival in Polignano a Mare.
It was a tense meeting, with the audience frequently booing and jeering the former parliamentarian —who was presenting the book "Why Italy is Right-Wing," a staunch defender of the Meloni government. "You're in love with Giorgia Meloni," Padellaro told him, "so much so that you nominated her for the Nobel Prize in Economics."
"I said on a TV show that Meloni, with the numbers she's achieved, should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics," Bocchino responded. " The gravest fault is not clearly stating the damage the left has done to the country. Today we have Tajani as Foreign Minister; before, there was a soft drink vendor ," he added, his voice rising above the jeers. And again: the left "had brought Italy to institutional squalor, now the dignity of the institutions has been restored, and the more you protest, the more votes the right gets ."
Then came the attack on Elly Schlein and, by extension, on Michela Murgia, the writer from Cabras who passed away in 2023: "There's no alternative proposal from the left. Schlein's policy is dancing at the Gay Pride parade, unveiling the mural dedicated to Michela Murgia... but who cares about Murgia, Italians need something else." "Don't you dare," Padellaro responded irritably, "she was a great writer, who died of cancer... if you keep going like this, I'll get up and leave."
