Too many people on the right have
discovered the Constitutional right to freedom of expression in
defending an anti-gay general who has been sacked for airing his
views in a self-published book, Italian Left (SI) economy
pointman Giovanni Paglia said Sunday.
The coordinator of Premier Giorgia Meloni's Borthers of Italy
(FdI) party, Giovanni Donzelli, on Sunday defended General
Roberto Vannucci's right to express his negative opinions about
gays, Jews, migrants, feminists and climate activists.
Paglia said: "If the lowest staffer on the smallest Italian town
council writes a comment that they don't agree with, the right
asks for his immediate sacking and stoning.
"But if an army general launches a homophobic, sexist, racist
and antisemitic crusaded, in this country it can happen that too
many exponents of the right in government discover freedom of
expression".
Paglia said "the reality is that they share (his views) word for
word".
