“Ethnic replacement”, storm on the cartoon of the Fact. Meloni: “Unworthy” – Corriere.it

After the phrase by Francesco Lollobrigida, who spoke about the risk of ethnic substitution in relation to the falling birth rate in Italy and migrants, raising many controversies, now new controversies have ignited for a cartoon published in the Done dailyor on the front page, following the words of the minister. Entitled: Objective to encourage the birth rate, it has Lollobrigida’s bedroom as a background, with a black person and a woman, accompanied by a sentence which says that one must be calm since the husband is out all day fighting ethnic substitution.

The cartoon was primarily challenged by Giorgia Meloni: The one portrayed Ariadne. A person who does not hold public office, guilty above all of being my sister. Smashed on the front page with unworthy allusions, in contempt of any respect towards a woman, a mother, a person whose life is used and torn up only to attack a government considered an enemy … but if anyone thinks of stopping us like this, they are very wrong .

There is a limit to everything, even to indecency, was the intervention of Ignazio La Russa, president of the Senate, the one published by Everyday occurrence not a funny cartoon, not a satire, just rubbish that everyone should distance themselves from. Sincere solidarity with Arianna and Francesco Lollobrigida.

Gennaro Sangiuliano, Minister of Culture: I am scandalized by the cartoon published on the front page of the Everyday occurrence. We are used to criticism and we continue to work head-on for the good of the nation but today the limit has been exceeded: I hope that director Marco Travaglio will receive an immediate apology and that all political forces will express their indignation. Starting with the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, who I am sure will want to distance herself and firmly condemn this indecency.

Daily fact demonstrates, once again, that he has serious problems with satire, was the comment by Tommaso Foti, group leader of FdI in the Chamber, the cartoon published today, squalid, vulgar and sexist, is not funny and goes beyond any limit of decency. While waiting for a unanimous condemnation by all the political forces – Pd, 5Stelle and others -, the right-thinking and the feminist world, the director Travaglio assumes responsibility for what his newspaper publishes and apologizes.

Even for Maurizio Lupi, political leader of Noi moderates: The cartoon of Everyday occurrence disgusting and vulgar, it offends not only Arianna and Francesco Lollobrigida, but all the people who believe in politics as a way of discussing issues and as a service to the country. This cartoon is just the latest case of a degeneration of public debate, increasingly centered on personal attacks, unable to address real projects. Let us all be careful, because this drift is increasingly distancing citizens from politics and public engagement. We would like now that the left, always so diligent in pointing the finger at those who, perhaps in good faith, express correct concepts with wrong words, would defend Francesco and Arianna and be capable of indignation even when vulgarity is directed against the center-right.

Satire by its very nature biting and irreverent. The cartoon published today by the daily Fatto shamefully borders on insult and offense. Our affectionate and unconditional solidarity goes out to Francesco and his wife Arianna. Thus in a note the delegation of Brothers of Italy-Ecr to the European Parliament.
