“The Census described the Italian company in its latest report as one drugged society. What is happening in relation to the story of Gaza it is one of the emblems of narcotization: 35 thousand dead, of which 25 thousand women and children. And 20 thousand children are starving. How is it possible? There is not a reaction, a shiver, a word of solidarity“. He’s the tough one j’accuse addressed by the president of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca against the West on the occasion of a meeting with the order of psychologists as part of the “Campania of excellence” initiative.
The politician adds: “Hamas committed an act of barbarity on 7 October, but it’s not that we respond to barbarism by doing barbarism ten times over or taking away children’s bread or leaving them without hospitals, knowing that they are mutilated children. And in the West we say nothing. At that time it is not true that in the West we represent civilization, we are worse than others because we have values that matter depending on the situations and interlocutors. This is the truth. And we are transmitting this narcotization to the younger generations.”
De Luca invariably focuses on the Italian situation, not sparing the whip Meloni government and to theopposition: “At this moment De Luca is identified as the only opposition existing in Italy on a political level and therefore becomes the target of truly political delinquency on the part of power. The Italy that I see is in a dead end, we have rudeness in power and an embarrassing opposition. It’s not a good situation: we have no ruling classes anywhere, only gods miserable people in government of this country, with rare exceptions”.
And he underlines: “No one wants to fight. We all have the propensity to be everyone’s friends. There is a category of the political world: that of soapers, all soft and fluid, all friends of all. Nobody wants to say out loud that the rights of Italian citizens must be respected throughout the country and must be the same from Piedmont to Sicily. But who do you want to get bitter blood? When we organize demonstrations in Rome against differentiated autonomy, there’s always some idiot telling us that we need to be calm. They can kill you.”
De Luca adds: “Now it’s no longer a joke, Italy is a country at the crossroads not only politically with rudeness in power and a feeble opposition, but also from the point of view of the destiny of Italian society and democracy, which begins to be fairly under control. Ultimately – he explains – political distinctions refer to the system of values that are compared and to the idea of society that you want to build and defend. Today the model of society that we look at is the result of a model of society that is the fruit of social Darwinism: the least, the poor people, the areas of social suffering count for nothing“.
And he glosses: “Here the difference in orientation and values is determined: if the area of social suffering is a problem for Italy and giving a hand to people who can’t cope is an objective of civilization or is it a nuisance or , at best, a reality to which one closes one’s eyes. Today two models of society are compared. And I don’t see the necessary awareness regarding this problem.”
