Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
Is it defamation when it’s true?
Common but disturbing behavior: investigating whether calling out fascism is a problem, but not invesgating whether fascism is a problem.
Punishing people for saying what they see.
Just a hunch, but it might have something to do with the fact that Meloni is a fascist.
Meloni needs a good dunking.
Meloni needs a 180° rotation, as do all fascists.
You mean she need to be turned inside out? That’s pretty gross, tbh.
Nor the PM nor this fascist government are our Republic. They should respond with personal offense, not institutional.
Good on Italy. Everyone, not just school children, should be protected from… name-calling 🤦
You gotta understand them, it would be tedious to run a fascist racist government if you had to compose with such frivolous things as freedom of speech.
Pretty much. Shame in the Italian government for this:
Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 (£858 to £4,290) anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
There is no war.
Who isn’t fascist/racist in the eyes of the left? You can be a moderate libertarian with a couple of populist beliefs and they’ll throw those labels at you.
This argument is always quite bad but congratulations on a particularly stupid example. You know who really should be seen as fascists? Actual fascists
Oh look… a lost fascist.
