“Conte’s absence from Pride shows that he is a fake progressive”. Speak Magi

The fact that the leader of the M5s will not participate in the LGBTQ+ demonstration “has strong political value”. For the secretary of +Europe, the former prime minister “is an unscrupulous figure, capable of the most daring flips in politics: now he is trying to cover the Catholic camp”

“The incredible thing is that someone seriously thought it could be a reference for progressives”. Richard Magi, secretary and deputy of +Europa, is not surprised. “It is no news that the M5s is a party that claims to cover a little bit of everything and the opposite of everything”. Two days ago Giuseppe Conte explained that he will not participate in Gay Pride. “I don’t even go to birthdays and weddings”, she declared, laughing it off. For Magi, however, this absence “has a strong political value” because, he says, the event “has a particular significance: in Europe the rights of Lbtq+ communities are one of the points on which pressure has been exerted by democracies which become illiberal and slide towards autocracies. From Hungary to Poland, authoritarian political forces always start from this discrimination to build their identities”.
