Here they are again, ready to ride their battle against public health and conspiracy theories even in the next European elections. They are the so-called ‘no-vaxers’, the people who are against – regardless – vaccines and who think that behind Covid there was a machination of strong powers, pharmaceutical companies and foreign powers, fueling doubts and suspicions. And, be careful, they cut across political groups. They appear in multiple lists of aspiring MEPs who aim to be elected in Strasbourg on 8 and 9 June.

The councilor who compared public health measures to Goebbels’ theories
With Forza Italia, for example, running in the north-east is Cherima Fteita Firial, former councilor for the municipality of Alessandria for Fratelli d’Italia who in November 2020 went so far as to say “it seems like we have returned to the times of Goebbels”. «The news of the vaccine serves to make us accept the lockdown, in the belief that we will be free very soon – she wrote on Facebook, the then Melonian councilor for youth policies -. However, no vaccine will arrive. At least not before the summer. The lockdown will last until May. Just enough time to complete the operation. Once the entire economic system has collapsed, great financial speculation will take over and take everything away at rock-bottom prices. As expected.”
«The local accomplices of this epochal massacre did everything to ensure the situation was repeated. They made chloroquine disappear,” was his accusation. Today, when asked by AdnKronos, she downplays those words: «I was misunderstood – she explains – she. I was reporting the theses of the virologist Giulio Tarro, they were not my statements, and like many I had some doubts.” “I was exploited, but I followed all the procedures and even got vaccinated.” Having returned to Forza Italia she assures: «My priority has always been the protection of citizens, faced with that emergency I had no doubts».

The hunting enthusiast and the Eurosceptic
Sergio Berlato from Vicenza, also known for his passion for hunting, runs with Fratelli d’Italia, also in the north-east. But above all for his theses on the pandemic, which he wanted to commemorate on May 1st by participating in a meeting entitled ‘After the great scam of Covid 19: we demand truth and justice’, in the presence, among other things, of the former Northern League member of the European Parliament, Francesca Donato, who also often takes a denialist position.
Still remaining with the majority parties, the best-known name is that of Claudio Borghi, Eurosceptic economist of the League, who is now on the list with the League for the central constituency. In the last few hours, to clarify his ideas, he listed his objectives for Europe on , reiterating his opposition to the World Health Organization.
At the time of the pandemic, Borghi sided several times against the green pass and the obligation to vaccinate, going so far as to argue that “countries that have done more vaccinations do not have different numbers compared to countries that were much further behind on vaccinations”.
