No wine and beer for Europeans. This is what the majority of the European Parliament wants

This is not a joke, but a sad truth: the majority (PPE, ie Forza Italia, S&D ie PD and associates) are about to vote on a document that will label all alcoholic beverages, regardless of alcohol content and quantity consumed, as "Carcinogens" . So one, or half, beer or a flute of sparkling wine or half a glass of barbera will be equated to smoking a pack of cigarettes or sucking a chemical product. Brilliant, right?

All this is in the report that BECA (Beating Cancer, a special commission of the European Parliament ) is about to put to the vote and that the majority will approve, probably at the beginning of next year. This vote will not have an immediate effect, but will lay the foundations for the next strategy of the Commission, which already wanted to put the “Toxic” brand on wine. At this point this definition is practically certain.

Of course, this puts at risk a sector that, for Italy alone, has a weight of 11 billion euros (2019 data), generates a powerful export, we are also the first world producers. Not to mention a multi-millennial tradition that is at the origins of our Western civilization: wine is spoken of even in the Iliad. Yet everything will be destroyed, or at least reduced, because a Commission that knows nothing and respects nothing of a true Europe, the one that was formed in a very long historical evolution, obtains the mandate to raze it to the ground.

So, dear Italian farmers and winemakers, but also dear breweries, goodbye to any promotional aid to any contribution. Maybe this money will go to a Swedish producer of green beans in greenhouses or an Estonian who will make us his excellent potatoes, or the Luxembourger who grows Brussels sprouts. They will not go to an Italian historical sector.

Get over it: Europe's greatest enemy is in Brussels, and it is in those who support it unconditionally. Make a note of it.
