Domenica In and the unhappy words of Mara Venier on the Giulia Tramontano case

In the intentions of Mara Venier it was supposed to be a certificate of closeness to a destroyed family, but in reality it turned into an unhappy sentence capable only of widening the pain. At the beginning of the episode of Sunday In broadcast on June 4, the presenter has, in fact, wanted to address a thought to Julia Tramontano, the seven months pregnant girl stabbed to death by her boyfriend Alessandro Impagnetiello, borrowing the words of the latter’s mother, who in an interview with Live life he explained that he can’t rest at the thought of having raised a monster. «I would like to send a hug to the mother of Alessandro, the murderer. Ma’am, you did an interview where you say “forgive me, please forgive me because my son is a monster”. Yes ma’am, your son is a monster.’ It is, alas, about a free underlinewhich adds nothing to the case if not a deep sense of bitterness not only towards a family, that of Impagnetiello, which is not to blame, but also towards the bewildered spectator in the face of so much dismay.

Shortly thereafter, when the Twitter storm unleashed on her, Mara Venier wanted to speak again to better clarify her point of view: «I didn’t want to criticize Alessandro’s family. I saw the mother’s interview a Live life and it was heartbreaking to see this poor mother suffer like this. If I made a mistake, I apologize, but I am also close to her family », Venier specified. “They are facing immense suffering: it heartbroken me to see all this. We are also in solidarity with her and, if I am wrong, I apologise. I immediately want to dampen the ongoing controversies ». Beyond the closeness, the initial sentence remains: was it really necessary to open an entertainment program with a note that could and should have been avoided, let alone out of respect for all the people involved?

From the case of Giulia Tramontano we have had confirmation that dealing with crime news on TV could soon turn into an Olympic disciplinegiven that keeping away from extreme, voyeuristic and inopportune drifts seems more difficult than winning a swimming race after having just abandoned the armrests. This applies to the journalist who, live on Rai1, explained that Alessandro Impagnetiello is basically a good boy, but also for all those commentators who seemed to blame the crime not so much on the murderer as on Giulia herself, guilty of having placed her trust in the wrong man. There have been so many mistakes on the part of television in recent days, and asking for an interview with Sabrina Paulis, the murderer’s mother, was one of them. Perhaps, in the future, we can hope that the media world will demonstrate more tact and more conscience against cases like this, with the hope that humanity will always get the better of the ratings-grabbing scandal.
