Last week, the “generalissimo” Vannacci was on Gruber’s show. Honestly, his words chilled me to the bone. An MEP, leader of a party born just four months ago and constantly growing, said live on TV that “gays have all the rights, they can drive and get medical care” (Sweden, basically...), appealing to the definition from the Zingaretti dictionary (but Luca? Or Nicola?) of the word “normality” and even calling himself the first of the abnormal ones (I’d really like to know, then, who/what supposedly represents this so-called normality). A few days later they held the party’s first constituent assembly, greeted each other with the title “camerati”, and what did they choose for their theme song? Lucio Dalla, a well-known “abnormal” who had the right to drive and access healthcare. These people, probably not even reaching Italian A2 level, really didn’t understand a damn thing about the song’s meaning. A song that talks about the uncertainty and the beauty of the future, which will only be better than the present if it’s born from love and acceptance. And the fact that this is being used by these pro-fascists honestly breaks my heart.
