Vannacci, Egonu and this post on “somatic traits”

There is a parody of Maurizio Crozza which targets a minister of the Republic, claiming that blunders or controversial statements occur because he does not have the strength to stop first. He cannot do it, he is stronger than him.

In the panorama of statements about the end of the Olympic Games, there is another politician who, despite his previous stumbles, does not stop in time.
Our Italian volleyball teams win an extraordinary gold medal and the general of the “inverted world”, who spent the day in Pontida declaring that he feels like a true member of the Northern League, applauds the victory: “I am very happy that the Italian volleyball team has won.” But the statement does not stop there. He continues: “…and I congratulate all the athletes, including Paola Egonu who is a very good athlete, Italian. I have never questioned his Italian character, but I continue to reiterate that his physical characteristics do not represent the majority of Italians.” Roberto Vannaccinewly elected to the European Parliament as an independent in the ranks of the League, adds that he will try to ask Paola Egonu for an autograph.

The controversy certainly did not spoil the celebration of Italian and Italian athletes Paola Egonu That with the gold with #Italvolley, he also received the prize for the best player of the Olympic tournament: “I am very happy and very proud of us women, it was a wonderful journey with many emotions. We still have not accomplished what we have done.”

The responses to the general came from all political parties, including those belonging to the government majority. In fact, the most ironic and at the same time harshest response to him came from Maurizio Gasparrileader of the Forza Italia group in the Senate.

“It takes Vannacci's undeniable talent to criticize Paola Egonu the day of the Olympic triumph of our volleyball athletes. The first, fortunately general, pretends to be From Gobineau 'from noantri' (if he ignores it he can consult Wikipedia, a source of learning within his reach) speaking of “somatic traits”. I read in a newspaper that he boasted of pretending to lose his balance in the subway to touch the hands, and I quote, “of black people to understand by touch if their skin was more wrinkled than ours”. Then Gasparri continues: “On the other hand, I met a gentleman described as Vannacci's barber, less known than the one in Seville made famous by Rossini (I refer Vannacci to the Internet sources in this case too), from whom I learned that at the time of shampooing, with the inevitable contact of the hands with the famous skull, “by touch” the barber suspected that there was a void inside the “box” – he continues – But as they say in the famous work “slander is child's play” and the barber lied. For Vannacci, the well-known saying applies: Tanto nomina nullum par elogium. Or not?”.

But there is also another mistake on the subject, whose author is the journalist Bruno Vespa. He also applauds the triumph of the Italian Volleyball team, but he lets slip a tweet that triggers new controversies.

There are those who remember: “Director, they are Italian. They must not integrate.”

It could be a picture of a person and the following text "riccardo cucchi @CucchiRiccardo Director, they are Italian. They don't need to integrate. Good job. Bruno Vespa 6h @BrunoVespa The women's national volleyball team is extraordinary. Congratulations to Paola Enogu and Myriam Siylaebrave, black, Italian. Example of successful integration."

Many readers ask to contextualize the story and social security systems intervene to correct the content of Vespa with a specific addition.

It was then that the host of Porta a Porta himself corrected the problem with another comment.
