Rampini and Tarquinio at La7 A picture from the video
“I like Avvenire and appreciate Tarquinio very much”. The secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, wrote it on Twitter in reference to what happened on Wednesday morning during the broadcast of “L’aria che tira”. Words that, along with the similar ones, that the deputy secretary tweeted to the Peppe Provenzano, are added to the many statements of solidarity received in the last few hours through social networks or in messages to the newspaper to the director of Avvenire after what happened the day before yesterday as part of the broadcast. During a heated confrontation over military spending increases and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Corriere della Sera journalist Federico Rampini attacked Tarquinio for whom economic sanctions are “like bombings: they don’t bend regimes, they plague peoples, wheat freezes in Russia and starving in North Africa he considers it “unworthy to “equate sanctions and bombings and accuses Tarquinio of being “one of many who work for Putin.
Political representatives of all sorts have spoken out in defense of the director of Avvenire from Maurizio Acerbo, secretary of the PRC, to the pentastellato minister Federico D’Incà from representatives of associations, personalities from culture, sports and “simple” readers . “An embrace of solidarity and appreciation comes from the director of Civiltà Cattolica, Father Antonio Spadaro, convinced that “what happened to Marco Tarquinio on La7tv demonstrates “wartime conformity.

According to Senator Paola Binetti (Forza ItaliaUdc), the tones and words used by Rampini are “inadmissible”. While Angelo Bonelli, spokesman for Green Europe, condemned the “bad climate of deep intolerance” and the “indecent and vulgar” attack. According to journalist Riccardo Cucchi, a famous radio voice, “When it comes to attacks like Rampini’s, it means that the climate of war has penetrated deeply. He also appraises Aiart and Ucsi President Vincenzo Varagona (“We are of course with Tarquinio”) and Demos coordinator Paolo Ciani: “If uncovering theses against war and weapons means being with Putin, are we really badly off…”. Another confirmation of solidarity comes from Anpi, according to which “there are no longer any limits to the poorest communicators”. And there are also those who, like new reader Silvana Buonocore, draw a conviction from the story: “I will subscribe to Avvenire.
