MODERATORS
I absolutely have no idea why this nutface is popular here in Italy despite them literally fucking everyone over.
Because she tells people what they want (despite never actually acting on it), and stops the degenerates (read: anyone who isn’t a cishet christian) from destroying our country™.
Also because her party not-so-covertly likes Mussolini and that’s popular in a country where 61% of the population is over 40.
theres a pretty straightforward reason for why fascists win elections, folks usually just dont want to admit the reason
They know exactly what they're doing. Just give it a month or two and the first murder will be pardoned for some perverted claim of "defending the unborn" to set the precedent
There's more: with European funds!
The measure forms part of a package of initiatives approved by Meloni’s cabinet that will be funded by the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund...
So that the opposition can't oppose only this measure, since the government asked for a vote of confidence on the package
I guess you elect fascists, you get fascist policies.
The thing is... sexist bullshit like is bipartisan in Italy. The PD (Democratic Party, that is the center-left party) has its own Catholic wing.
I’m sure they let protesters in government buildings too, right? Right?
I hope I'm wrong but, expect some horrible news in the near future.
You mean every fucking day?
Yeah, but on a bigger scale.
This will surely end well….
The deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani said that while the government had no intention of changing the law, “we must not criminalise those who are against abortion”. He said: “We have always allowed freedom of conscience on issues of this kind. I believe it is right for everyone to behave according to their own beliefs and conscience.”
"We will not stop you from making your own decisions, we will just make it damn near impossible tondo so"
