“Me and Giorgia ‘bastards’. Saviano, how much does the poor thing gnaw?” This is what the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, wrote on social media in a post in which he reports this title from the Century of Italy: “Saviano, new barrage of insults: to Salvini and Meloni without apologies , I would say bastards again.”
Giorgia and I “bastards”.

Roberto Saviano, therefore, increases the dose of insults. It is not enough for him to have to deal in court for those “bastards” addressed to the current prime minister and deputy prime minister. In fact, on the 15th of November, the first hearing of the defamation trial of Giorgia Meloni against the writer will be held in Rome. The process is based on the attack that Saviano made in December 2020 in the lecture “Piazza Pulita” against the political positions of right-wing leaders on the issue of immigration. “Will you remember all the crap said about NGOs: ‘sea taxis’, ‘cruises’… pain to describe it that way?” A heavy offense that occurred precisely in the hot months when Italy with Salvini at Viminale controlled its borders by preventing the landings of NGO ships.
In a scathing interview published yesterday in the newspaper La Stampa, the writer does not deny anything, on the contrary, he goes even more mad: “Bastards? I claim my indignation and my deepest contempt for those who, faced with a shipwreck, do not say that human lives come before any exploitation or political path more or less severe, inflexible, fierce, of Papeete or a finished gift from God.” To those who point out that “bastards” are “violent”, Saviano responds: “Naval blockades are violence. The shipwreck, in his mouths, gradually turned into a saying, a provocation. But what human being could he utter such words when people die at sea?” said the writer. In short, Saviano did not deny his hatred towards Salvini and Meloni. And the deputy prime minister does not miss the opportunity to respond to the insults received. by the writer.
