Fazzolari and the “little man from the CIA”. The US doesn’t take it well. And watch out for Copasir

The words of the undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council annoy the American embassy. Montovano’s embarrassment, Meloni’s relations with the US intelligence agency. And in the meantime, the “Donzelli case” is being discussed at the Parliamentary Committee on Secret Services. The risk of “icnocommunicability” with intelligence

It must certainly have been an involuntary stumbling block, the Gascon and innocent yielding to the most common of idioms. Like the ice cream man, the sugar loaf man or the Michelin man. And yet the American Embassy, ​​whether due to lack of familiarity with the colloquial idiom or Yankee touchiness, didn’t really laugh at it. It is that perhaps, it seems, those allusions made coram populo, by Giovanbattista Fazzolari, of a “little man from the CIA”, they saw in it a not at all vague reference to the head of the Agency’s center in Rome, in short, to one of the heads of the US secret services in Italy, one who in fact is not tall in stature and who actually, comme il faut, has a certain familiarity with the offices in Palazzo Chigi. And they resented it. Not so much for physiognomy issues, mind you. The point is that the identity of the managers of the Agency should remain as confidential as possible. And even if there is nothing to be scandalized about, indeed, that Giorgia Meloni or her closest collaborators have contacts with the services of friendly countries, it would be serious if, albeit indirectly, possible clues were revealed as to who the people who physically hold these contacts.
