    The big national press has intoned the patriotic campaign against the Houthis. While the grand national unity in support of the military mission in the Red Sea is celebrated in Parliament – from Meloni to M5S via the PD – “opposition” columnists compete in declaring themselves more militaristic than the post-fascist-led government itself.
