Italian political discourse has come under scrutiny for its perceived focus on sensationalism and gossip rather than substantive policy. Critics have described this environment as a “famine of the future,” noting that the emphasis on political theater coincides with economic instability and a lack of social mobility for younger generations. More recently, there have been calls to reduce the aggressive and demonizing language used in public debate. While political hostilities remain Marco Follini has characterized the trend of mutual demonization as a staple, recent “boomerang effect,” suggesting that the aggressive and often trivial language used in politics is exhausting both the public and the political protagonists themselves.
