But "revisionism of what"?... it doesn't matter where the term squadrist comes from. What matters instead is what happens in reality. That is, groups of people who go to certain places specifically to prevent others from expressing their ideas. And do I need to remind you of the periodic assaults on the offices of the League? Isn’t that squadrist behavior? So let’s not flip the script here... I remind you, laghèè, that I (and the League) am completely antifascist (as I seem to have clearly demonstrated so far), so calling me a revisionist is just nonsense. As for the indefensible League... here comes that purging instinct of a maximalist nature again... what does it mean that it’s indefensible? That it lacks the dignity to exist? It seems to me that one should carefully weigh the words one writes here too...

Alright, let's end it here... I’m convinced that what happened has no significance... it doesn’t lead to any consequences, except for the usual pointless and overwhelming controversy... Basically, the one we’re creating ourselves... and I really don’t want to continue. I’m more interested in serious matters... not in the cheap sophistry regarding what a Prime Minister can and cannot do, when UNBELIEVABLY the seriousness, which is indeed real, of the violence from the far left is not given the proper attention, and the responsibility of the rest of the Left for having, over 12 years, painted Berlusconi as the absolute evil, and thus encouraging and instigating (not even so indirectly) certain people, who make violence their only political weapon. ARE BORGHEZIO’S OUTBURSTS THE ONLY DANGEROUS ONES? Come on... just a bit of consistency... come on...! Okay, allow me this last outburst, which is not directed at you personally...

Come on, motivate me, please... I repeat that Berlusconi (along with those who support him, including the League) has been continuously ridiculed, delegitimized, and defined by the Left for 12 years as: "mafioso" (see Travaglio and company), "(almost) dictator," "ignorant," "criminal," "unelectable," "liar," "uncivilized"... and I could go on forever. Basically, since he entered politics, he has been slandered and defamed multiple times every day... wouldn't you be furious in his place? Wouldn't you lose your temper if you found yourself (at the invitation of Confindustria) facing someone (Della Valle) who goes around saying (I remember an episode of Porta a Porta) that the Government has done nothing for businesses and that Berlusconi is a liar? In short, come on, we are all human beings... In any case, the famous "skeletons in the closet" is nothing more than a colorful metaphor (and everyone understood it, even those who pretend not to and cling to nonsense) that indicates the favors that large industry would like from the unions, which, in the case of a left-wing government, would not carry out all those strikes (90% of those that took place from 2001 to 2006) that are of purely political nature. Those who understand well do so, while those who refuse to understand are acting in bad faith... don't you think?

Mr. Berlusca has been the target of personal attacks for 12 years that have nothing to do with politics (just yesterday, we saw Violante's statements), so in comparison to this, his appearance at Confindustria seems "an angelic act" to me. In any case, the violence and anti-democratic behavior of the "protesters" in Genoa, Milan, Padua, and similar places are light-years away from Silvio's nonetheless "fiery" behavior (which, by the way, is completely understandable during an election campaign, no matter where it comes from). Therefore, to define the situations and behaviors we have cited as equally "very serious" seems utterly misplaced to me. When I have a bit more time, I will return definitively to discussing the League and the concepts of self-determination of peoples and Padania.

It's not even remotely comparable... come on...!

What do you say about those who go to every rally or intervention of various kinds with the intent of preventing those who think differently from expressing their ideas and proposals, as happened yesterday in Genoa (and every other time)? Is that democracy? Is it not a protest to seek confrontation and think you have to silence your opponent? It’s thuggery. Whether it comes from one side or the other, it makes no difference. Right now, it seems to me that it mostly comes from one side... which I believe should take responsibility for it... but that is not important for the sake of this issue, which I would like to remain objective. Do you agree with me or not?

In short, you could trust me at least a little...

What I know about the League I mostly know from direct sources since I read the official organs, occasionally attend rallies, and participated in an election campaign in my small capacity as "communications manager"...

I am not an executive of the Northern League; I am one of its voters and supporters. I am someone who knows the League well and has always followed it. I have appreciated it and criticized it, but above all, I know what it says and what it doesn’t say. I know what its intentions are and how its messages and ideas are distorted by the Italian media and socio-cultural system. For some reasons, also due to some representatives, both low and high level. In any case, TV footage is NOT AT ALL direct sources (you should know this); the same interviews can be cut for space (or other) reasons, reported in one way or another... And then I don’t think you have ever read or witnessed a parliamentary intervention, only the TV footage of a few seconds (unless it concerns those rare cases where full interventions are broadcast, for example, in the case of confidence in the government). Therefore, the vast majority of your sources are not direct. I am a direct source for you because I "speak" to you directly, without any filters. I don’t know if I am making myself clear.
