Brazil, the sad samba of the Italian left against the Meloni government
The tafazzism of the opposition who do not notice the solidarity expressed by the leaders of the Italian government to the president of Brazil, Lula. Paola Sacchi's note
A barrage of declarations by centre-left exponents condemning the devastation of the Brazilian congress and solidarity with President Lula , combined with that of the fact that the Italian government, in their opinion, had remained silent. Only that in the small web storm unleashed by exponents of the Democratic Party, the "third pole" and the Italian Left against "the Italian friends of Bolsonaro" and the "sovereign right" in the world, the times have not synchronized well. And while the indignation of the opposition was growing, the condemnatory statements of Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani had already appeared on the web and on the screens of agencies. With the condemnation of the League to follow. And finally, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who first retweeted Tajani, leaving precedence to the head of our Diplomacy, then expressed her clear disagreement with the attack on Brasilia at the heart of the institutions.
What is happening in Brazil cannot leave us indifferent. The images of the irruption in the institutional seats are unacceptable and incompatible with any form of democratic dissent. A return to normality is urgently needed and we express solidarity with the Brazilian institutions,” Meloni tweeted. Tajani had preceded her: “I am following with concern what is happening in Brazil. Every act of violence against democratic institutions must be strongly condemned. Electoral results must always be respected. The Italian government is on the side of democracy, freedom and institutions. That's not how dissent manifests itself."
Shortly after the Foreign Minister, the note from the League of Matteo Salvini, the other Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport: “We condemn all types of violence, in Brazil as everywhere. The free vote of citizens is respected, always”. But the race to try to catch the center-right executive out did not stop until late in the evening when some "last Japanese" were still indignant at the non-existent silence of the government, also arousing ironic comments on social media.
The center-left oppositions restart from Brasilia, from the serious attack on the institutions by fans of former president Bolsonaro to try, by posting photos of center-right exponents with him in the past, while he was in office, to ride the umpteenth clash in an Italian sauce against the centre-right government on international issues.
Among the hardest and even staggered on the times of the web exponents of the left who have always said no to support for Ukraine and NATO enlargement. According to the old double standard.
