Ieri Giuseppe Conte si è presentato in audizione con il suo repertorio più collaudato: cliché pandemici, luogocomunismo a getto continuo, la nostalgica celebrazione del paternalistico “Stato-papà” e l'ormai classico cortocircuito sulle ‘evidenze scientifiche’, dipinte prima come faro indiscutibile per giustificare restrizioni senza precedenti e poi, all'occorrenza, come poche e incerte: un capolavoro di equilibrismo. Il racconto della gestione della pandemia sembra uscito da una replica del 2020: stessa retorica piagnona, stesso tono autoassolutorio, giocato con il tono che riesce meglio al leader M5S, quello della vittima. Poi, gran finale con tre numeri di prestigio: un presunto scoop sulle mascherine, il M5S miracolosamente riscopertosi “contrario all'obbligo vaccinale” (dopo averlo votato e sostenuto pubblicamente: strizzata d’occhio ai novax?) e l’epidemiologo Donato Greco promosso, a posteriori, liquidatore del piano pandemico. Una magia durata pochissimo: le ‘favolose’ ricostruzioni sono state smontate una dopo l'altra da FdI nel corso della stessa audizione. Neanche una parola sulla sofferenza patita da bambini, adolescenti e ragazzi. Alla fine resta in bocca il sapore di una performance noiosa e modesta, giocata sulla nostalgia della propria narrazione e sulla riscrittura dei fatti. Un'esibizione che, per profondità e statura, è apparsa parecchio distante da quella che ci si aspetterebbe da un uomo di Stato. Oggi su @LaVeritaWeb #Pandemia #Politica #GiuseppeConte
