Nine days after the afternoon in which he was abruptly interrupted by Mara Venier while making her argument about the contribution of immigrants to Italy, Dargen D'Amico returns to television: he does so in the “competing” lounge of Di Tuesday La7. Giovanni Floris immediately asks the singer if he felt like a victim of censorship that day, the day after Rai closed the Sanremo festival. “I wouldn't say that, after all I had already developed a good part of my thinking,” replies D'Amico diplomatically, who had actually declined Mara Venier's invitation to return to Domenica the following week. Therefore, the singer does not think about censorship. But there is certainly no hiding the fact that there are issues on which it is currently more difficult to speak out loudly in public. At least that was the case until a few days ago. According to the singer, his public appearances on the Ariston stage, but also those of other artists like Ghali, had the merit of opening a breach. “It has become clear that the silence about the massacred children does not correspond to the feelings of the people who instead want the matter to stop and for Italy to use its diplomatic weight in this sense,” claims D'Amico. What can we say then about the statement that Mara Venier had to read at the end of this broadcast in order to “correct” the statement that appeared on the Rai flagship network on the conflict in Gaza, that of Rai CEO Roberto Sergio? “We know well that everyone has a master, we all have one.” But my master in this case is humanity: this complicit silence forced me to speak,” claims D'Amico. After being invited by Giovanni Floris to finish his never-finished argument on immigration – “I'm tired of seeing brothers and sisters treated like second-class citizens instead of resources,” he declares – he is again politely thanked and dismissed as host. “Is it ready yet?” asks the surprised singer and jumps up from his chair. The timetable is calling once again: the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein is ready after waiting for long minutes for the connection from Sardinia.
