"Those are two walking dead men": Giannini loses his head against Santanchè and Nordio | Video

Massimo Giannini lost control during the last episode of Otto e mezzo , the political talk show on La7 hosted by Lilli Gruber. To tell the truth, the editorialist of Repubblica was not the only one to exaggerate in his criticism of ministers Daniela Santanché and Carlo Nordio . Even Pier Luigi Bersani, who unlike him was the secretary of the opposition party to a center-right government, called the idea of ​​wealth expressed by the Minister of Tourism during her speech in the Chamber "despicable".

But Giannini went much further than a simple insult. The editorialist of Repubblica said he was saddened by the sight of the government benches. And he defined Nordio and Santanché as two zombies. Only to then realize the extent of the insult, correcting his aim with "politically dead". "First of all, an evaluation of what we saw today in the Chamber - he recalled -. That government bench made me very sad in the sense that the two ministers who were there to defend themselves from the indefensible appeared to me, with all due respect, to be two zombies . That is, two walking dead . Dead, obviously in a political sense. Of course, I repeat: I say this with all due respect".

According to Giannini, they are two zombies because they do not accept the idea of ​​being politically dead. " Because they defend the indefensible ," he said. "For different reasons: one should not be where he is , the other is no longer able to manage the enormous problems that come his way."
