“A leftist? He eats grasshoppers. Right? He drinks good Italian wine»- Corriere.it

What is right, what is left. He sang it George Gaber, but now also Alessia Ambrosi, 40 years old, Veronese, banker, former Northern League in Trento then moved to FdI and now a deputy, spoke on the issue: “I gave my modest contribution, as a woman on the side”. She wrote via Twitter: «Right Types: lovers of traditions, good food, a glass of Italian wine, decorum, order and safety. Types of left: Insect meal worshipers (products recently regulated by the government, ed), defilers of monuments, fans of free drugs and illegal occupations. That’s why I’m a right-wing girl!”

Ambrosi, what inspired you?

«I thought about the great Gaber. I wanted to make a somewhat ironic classification».

The initial consideration?

«The crescent value gap between the two poles. After Schlein’s victory, in fact, the right no longer finds itself facing the old Pd but a party of the left prey to a drift a little gruppettara, a little “Sardinian”, who professes a class environmentalism who almost only talks about green cars and houses, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast majority of Italians not only cannot afford these things, but cannot even imagine them».

In short, the previous Pd was better.

“It was horribly boring, but at least more reasonable.”

Can a leftist not like good Italian wine or decorum?

«Evidently yes. For example, in Florence, the mayor dem Dario Nardella really likes decorum, a pity it was brutally disavowed by his own party secretary. The problem is in theirs vast radical chic offshootswhich with Schlein culturally have a certain weight and set a trend, where, moreover, there is a disturbing propensity towards politically correct gastronomic extremism».

Meaning what?

«Let’s be clear: these are people who dream of having breakfast with grasshopper porridge».

Aren’t there young right-wingers who deface monuments?

«Besides the paradox, everything is possible. However, I am sure that if a young right-winger soiled Palazzo Vecchio I don’t think our premier, Giorgia Meloniwould wink at him as incredibly Schlein did in Florence».

Gaber’s song balanced left and right.

“It’s true that it’s not all black and white. But the irony, in the political controversyis neither a centrist nor a subcontractor: indeed he exalts himself in hyperbole, that is his place».
