Delmastro-Donzelli, the new (complicated) life of FdI roommates between “challenges” and races at dawn – Corriere.it

The “right-wing duplex”, at least for now, seems to be resisting the storm of the Cospito case. The Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro and the operational chief of Fratelli d’Italia Giovanni Donzelli “are not in crisis like the Ferragnez”, they try to dilute the climate from Via della Scrofa. And then: «There was no break: neither human, nor politics and they continue to share a house during their engagements in Rome». Version also confirmed by the protagonists.

However, the situation, from a political and judicial point of view, remains incandescent. Almost a month has passed since Donzelli, who is also vice president of Copasir, reported in Parliament the content of conversations that took place during the hour of free time in the prison of Sassari between the anarchist Alfredo Cospito (who was visited by deputies of the Democratic Party) and prisoners of the Camorra and ‘Ndrangheta,
also the latter to 41 bis. Prosecutors speculate that those cards were secret and are investigating. The Keeper Nordio is of the opposite opinion. Donzelli explained that the information contained in those documents had come from Delmastro. An axis between party comrades, also linked by a solid friendship, given that the two have been sharing a double studio flat with a shared kitchen in Rome for years.
Years of militancy on the right, grappling with the zero point. Then the triumph in the latest Policies and the satisfaction of having reached the top. Two new lives, in power, those of Donzelli and Delmastro, who four months later however combined the mess on Cospito, always in duplex. And their respective lives have been turned upside down again. Delmastro ended up being investigated by the Rome prosecutor’s office for revealing and using professional secrecy.
Every day, calls for his resignation from government office rain down on him. Ditto for Donzelli.

The result? After the escalation of anarchist attacks in half of Europe, both ended up under guard. Delmastro has been “rejected” on more than one occasion by the parliamentarians of the commissions, where the undersecretary was forced to be replaced by a colleague during the hearings.

While Donzelli, who yesterday had to face the Jury of Honor of the Chamber,
is lengthening the jogging paths at dawn to release tension and think. Only that, for a few days now, in addition to being chased by the cameras, he must also be “chased” by the escort. But the “Donze”, to which Prime Minister Meloni has in fact delegated the operational management of the first Italian party, also had to review his hypercommunicative profile. No more, at least for now, flurry of interviews between TV, newspapers and radio in the wake of the invitation “to tone down” launched by the premier. But at least according to Donzelli it is a temporary strategy, “because I would do it all over again”.
