“Salvini will not go to trial, authorization has not been granted”. The journalist was in the Postergali room, the one used for direct broadcasts in which there are no agencies, there are no computers and there are not even screens where you can follow the work in the Chamber.
“the count ended a few moments ago – announced the presenter of the Tg2 – live from the Senate we have Marie Antoinette Spadorcia“.
Open Arms, Senate authorizes Salvini Leader League trial: “I go ahead with my head held high”
–
The reporter hangs up the phone and takes the floor. “The result is now, the authorization to proceed has not passed …” was the opening words of the reporter from Palazzo Madama. It seems that the error of interpretation of the vote in the House was suggested to her on the phone, a few moments before the direct broadcast, by her editor-in-chief.
“It seemed like a discounted vote – continues the unfortunate service – also given the yes of Iv. And instead no, there were 141 favorable votes but 149 no. So Salvini will not go to trial. This is really a twist because all the majority it was compact to say there was no general interest. ” “But the compact center-right said no: Salvini did the general interest.”
The protagonist of the sensational gaffe is a parliamentary journalist with twenty years of experience and a writer. Its the book “Running and career“, edited by Macchioni, preface by Vittorio Sgarbi.
This time, ironically, going on the air gave the presenter a career stumble. His blunder did not go unnoticed. And how could it not have been noticed, moreover, given, among other things, the emphasis with which it announced that “the center-right, compact, said that Salvini did the general interest”.
The clip of the unfortunate service was filmed on social media, relaunched among others by the computer engineer Luigi Marangon.

Apologies from the management of the Tg2.
“In the edition of Tg2 18.15, immediately after the announcement of the President of the Senate Casellati of the result of the vote on the authorization to proceed against Matteo Salvini, during a connection we erroneously said that with the vote the authorization to proceed would not have been granted, while the Senate authorized Senator Salvini’s trial. “
So, in a note, the direction of Tg2. “It was a serious error of interpretation of the result, which we corrected a few minutes later with a live broadcast from the conductor. We apologize anyway – concludes the direction of Tg2 – for having misled our listeners”.
