Lili Gruber loses patience It happens with Otto e Mezzo, Wednesday 28 March’s episode on La7. Here among the guests there is Alexey Bobrovsky, the Russian journalist who denies the war. “We call it a special military operation because we don’t have a war against Ukraine.” For Bobrovsky, “we only have a conflict with people who, with Nazi words and gestures, have taken Ukrainian cities and populations hostage.”
Sentences that trigger the moderator: “But I’m sorry, but you’re bombing Ukraine and you’ve invaded this country. If it’s not a war.” “The wars are those of the Americans in Iraq,” the journalist continues, while Gruber increases the dose: “The same as in Ukraine.” But the guest from Russia doesn’t want to know anything about it and fights back Wladimir Putin explains that only military bases are attacked and that in fact it is “the Ukrainians who shoot their population”.
At this point, Gruber then preferred to close the topic. As she herself emphasized a few weeks ago, in Otto e Mezzo “there is room for all opinions”. But maybe it really was too much for the presenter, so much so that she seemed to be struggling to contain herself. And like her, her guests too.
