The Fatto newspaper reacted to the Democratic Party’s banned lists against the supposedly pro-Russians with very violent caricatures against the pro-Ukrainians. The newspaper, run by Marco Travaglio, not only regularly features on the front page reflections from leading representatives of the anti-NATO intellectual streak, such as General Mini or Professor Orsini, but today comes out with a very violent skit signed by Mannelli. Far beyond satire must be said.
The enemy of the day is Federico Rampini, a Corriere della Sera correspondent who, since February, has been unconditionally employed alongside Volodymyr Zelensky by Vladimir Putin’s favorite Kiev government. Support for the “heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people”, as he recalled two days ago as a guest in Tagadà on La7, and a condemnation of all those who see Europe, the USA and the West as the cause of all evil. If someone is to blame for what is happening in Ukraine, the journalist always remembers that someone is Putin, certainly not Biden, Stoltenberg or Ursula von der Leyen.

However, the words about the “heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people” don’t seem to have been digested very well by the Fact editors. And Mannelli sums up this climate (of hatred) with his pencil: In the cartoon, Rampini is seen getting kicked in the face by a Kalashnikov: “When the heroic Ukrainian people got tired of being the heroic Ukrainian people,” is to read. Here is the pacifism of the “Travaglini partisans”.
