Let’s rewind the tape a few hours, back to yesterday, Tuesday, July 14. We are in the Chamber, voting on the electoral reform. And the government, as is now history, goes down. Defeated by a single vote on the amendment to reintroduce preferences, strongly desired by Giorgia Meloni. In the majority, there are said to be 31 rebels. A major political case that led the prime minister to use harsh words, both towards those who, in fact, betrayed, and towards a left that, called to reintroduce those preferences for which it has always officially advocated, backed down.
That said, the images coming from the opposition benches immediately after the vote, where the executive found itself in the minority, also sparked quite a bit of discussion. Unrestrained celebrations, “as if they had won the World Cup,” remarked those from Brothers of Italy, highlighting the grotesque attitude of the progressive front.
Well, in these scenes of ridiculous jubilation someone also noticed a very juicy detail. It is Dagospia, which highlights a shot of the Democrats’ celebration. “Do you notice anything strange in this photo?” asks Dago in the introduction. So here is the explanation of what is actually strange in the shot: “While all the PD deputies were celebrating Meloni’s defeat on preferences, one man remained, unperturbed and unshakable, in his seat: Piero Fassino!”.

And indeed, according to the photo, Fassino’s heart seems to be in winter. Serious, gloomy, not at all celebratory. Still, frozen, “as if he hadn’t noticed what was happening around him,” adds Dago. Therefore, the site directed by Roberto D’Agostino offers an interpretation for that image: “Increasingly distant from his party. The former mayor of Turin, in Parliament for seven legislatures, must have realized that next time he might end up in the park.” Could it be that Dago is right…?
