Overview
- Carlo Calenda opened with a multi-point complaint on X alleging he is sidelined by major outlets and shows after raising issues like Stellantis, Jeffrey Sachs, and possible advertiser pressure involving Enel and Terna.
- Angelo Bonelli replied by mocking Calenda’s TV ubiquity and lower polling compared with Avs, prompting Calenda to counter with sarcasm and to frame the dispute as one about conflicts of interest.
- Calenda accused Bonelli’s camp of being close to the Five Star Movement on Russia and said programs prefer Nicola Fratoianni, while Bonelli said Calenda helps Giorgia Meloni and likened his climate stance to Trump’s.
- In a follow-up post, Calenda criticized a recent EU climate agreement targeting deep emissions cuts by 2040, calling it dangerous and warning of delocalization and higher gas costs tied to ETS2.
- The exchange remains confined to social media and press coverage, highlighting ongoing tensions inside the prospective broad center-left coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
