Kirk, Ciriani: "In Italy, Red Brigades-style phrases and climate have revealed Democratic hatred." Attack on Renzi and the Five Star Movement.

"Yesterday in the Senate we witnessed shameful pages with the M5S making false and violent accusations against the Foreign Minister . In recent days, a small party like Italia Viva attacked the Prime Minister in her mother's intimate life . Then in the US a 31-year-old conservative influencer was killed and some intellectual on TV said that ultimately she deserved it." These are the words of the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Ciriani .

Ciriani continues: “These are the same arguments we heard during the time of Sergio Ramelli and the Red Brigades, or phrases like 'These comrades are making mistakes.' This is the climate we're creating in this country. And it's only like this because the government is working."

And he concluded: "We have discovered democratic hatred, of democratic civilians who say 'we must remain human' and then don't say a word of human commiseration towards a man who was wrong to not think like them."

Matteo Renzi 's reaction was quick to arrive. "Today, the Meloni government, with Minister Ciriani, compared Italia Viva to the Red Brigades. Do you realize the level of squalor and shame they're reaching?" the leader of Iv wrote on social media. "Horrifying words," Renzi continued, calling on Meloni to have the minister resign.

From Salvini to the Prime Minister

"These are the self-styled anti-fascists. This is the climate now, even in Italy. No one will say anything, so I will. We won't be intimidated." Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated yesterday on social media, commenting on a post by the student movements Osa and Cambiare Rotta, featuring an upside-down photo of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing activist killed in the US, accompanied by the captions "-1" and "To a good listener, a few words. Today is a less dark day."

Also yesterday, Northern League Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said he was "horrified" by "the cowardly reaction on social media, with some almost cheering, saying 'one less,' and talking about it on September 11th hurts."

The right-wing newspapers

The right-wing newspapers went on the attack this morning, opening by underlining the ambiguity of the left.

"Dead on the right, celebration on the left," was the headline in Libero , which spoke of a "social sewer." Editor Mario Sechi wrote an editorial titled: "If you don't stand with them, they'll cover you in mud and you risk a bullet." For Il Giornale, edited by Alessandro Sallusti, "the left justifies the assassination." "There are those on the left who gloat," was the headline in La Verità .
