In L'Aria che tira, La7's political and current affairs program, we talked about Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin's opponent, who died a week ago for reasons that are still unclear. The topic made Pietro Senaldi and Claudia Fusani raise their voices. The focus of the debate is primarily on the reactions of the center-right parties to the end of the dissident. Viktor Orban, the Hungarian sovereigntist leader, is also in the crosshairs. “England has left, Hungary can also leave the EU,” said co-director Libero, after which “the European Union has the Hungarian problem, not Giorgia Meloni.” The moderator David Parenzo intervened: “But why did Matteo Salvini feel like making this statement about Russian judges?” “In my opinion that was not a thoughtful sentence,” replied Senaldi.

At this point Claudia Fusani intervened in the discussion: “What the right-wing parties like the AfD are saying is exactly what Salvini said, namely that Navalny is at best an internal matter within Russia that we should not discuss with Salvini .” Part that is doing well in the polls.” Then the journalist criticizes Prime Minister Meloni: “Since Saturday, the Prime Minister, who is traveling to Kiev to co-chair the G7 with Zelensky, has not said enough words. She hasn’t said anything since Saturday.”

Pietro Senaldi didn't hold back: “But Meloni is going to Kiev! She is waging war against Russia! We are at war, any words she may say are nothing compared to that.” “I expect very harsh words from Italian diplomacy about Navalny, it was a state murder,” Fusani continued. Senaldi used the weapon of irony: “He goes to Kiev for tourism, ok…”. “I want Meloni – the journalist concluded unimpressed – to say that Putin is a murderer and that his season must end as quickly as possible.”
