During the episode of “DiMartedì” on La 7, the topic of discussion was Youssef Siher , the 30-year-old second-generation Italian who, according to investigators, is the administrator of the social media pages “Movimento 17 ottobre .” It should be remembered that the charges against him are: incitement to crime aggravated by the purpose of terrorism and organized violence in public demonstrations.
In the studio, however, the debate became heated, with director Ascanio Celestini essentially taking aim at the government and the right-wing press: "When you tell me a name, I try to understand who this person is. Siher speaks four languages, writes for newspapers, is an educated person, is thirty years old…
I hope his newspaper headlines were made by artificial intelligence . "
On Tuesday, the debate heats up in the studio: Cazzullo and Di Battista intervene.
After Ascanio Celestini's intervention on Youssef Siher on " DiMartedì", Aldo Cazzullo intervened : "There will be an investigation and we'll see what it leads to. It seems a bit consolatory to say 'we caught him, it's all over', it doesn't work like that ." Then comes the attack on the government : "I remember that about thirty years ago, pretty much all the newspapers called non-EU citizens 'vucumprà,' a derogatory, racist term, just like 'maranza.' I remember a reader writing to Scalfari 'why does Repubblica also use this term?' and Scalfari replied 'you're right, we won't use vucumprà anymore.' Now nobody uses this word anymore. 'Maranza' is a racist word, the idea that Italian legislators use it in this way, the anti-Maranza law, seems shameful to me ." Alessandro Di Battista then chimed in : " I don't know how this will end. This citizen is under investigation, let's see if he's sent to trial. We'll see how the trial goes. I put myself in the shoes of the transporters, the workers who one day read that behind their protest, which is a survival protest, are Milan's radical chic, rich kids, Putin, Iran... if the media's communication, which supports the government, continues like this, next time the fishermen, instead of blocking 46 ports, will block 60."
