There is a van speeding towards the Italian left and overturning narratives and prejudices that would be more accurately called what they are: convenient political positions kept alive by blindness or cynicism. It is the same van driven by an Islamic fanatic who on Saturday night attacked the Berlin gay pride, killing one person and injuring twenty-nine. It is a van full of embarrassment because it processes all the mistakes, or cunning, of the ideology on which the broad camp pitches its tents, stubbornly united in refusing to admit reality and persistently in bad faith in wanting to make the right the receptacle of the evils afflicting the world.

Just take the comments on the attack by Ilaria Salis and Riccardo Magi of + Europa, the two extremes of the anti-Meloni electoral cartel, as proof. She: “Religious fanaticism and the far right share the same hatred and intolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community.” He: “Violence against the LGBTQ+ world has no single origin; it can arise from the far right as well as from religious fanaticism.” In other words, they drag the right into it even when it has nothing to do with it, and its leaders, Giorgia Meloni at the forefront (“Italy opposes all extremism and stands with the German people”), intervene promptly against fanaticism and hatred towards homosexuals, while those on the left are still not awake on the evening of the celebration.
Attack in Berlin, Ilaria Salis denounces the “far right”: massacred on social media
Ilaria Salis never misses a beat. The MEP of the Greens and Left Alliance is having a sui generis week…
Just think of the race to point the finger strongest and fastest against the Italian government that various Nicola Fratoianni, Giuseppe Conte, Elly Schlein would have engaged in among themselves if at the wheel of the murderous van, instead of a young German Islamic man of Lebanese origin, there had been a voter of Afd, heterosexual and white. It would have been of little use to point out that the German far-right party, for some time the leading force in the country, is led by a woman who is openly lesbian and married to a Sri Lankan. All those who yesterday remained silent for a long time, delegating routine statements to the second line, would have jumped to denounce that Europe is traversed by a neo-fascist, racist, and homophobic wave.
The Italian Jewish Community, which just over a month ago was excluded from the Rome gay pride, where decontextualized pro-Pal flags were instead waved, worries about showing that the king is naked, because “it has the responsibility of not having distanced itself from the Gaza genocide, making itself complicit in discrimination.” “Jews, Christians, women, and LGBTQ+ communities are often the first targets of radical Islamism,” declared the president of the Milan community, Walker Meghnaghi. “We ask Elly Schlein and the entire left, which continues to turn away and not see the danger of radical Islamism, how they reconcile the defense of rights with support, even if only implicit, for ideologies in which those same rights are trampled.”
Flotilla, Fullone and the shocking post about the Berlin terrorist: “Nothing Islamic, find peace”
The new shame of the left: after the embarrassed silence for the Islamic attack that cost lives…
A question destined to remain unanswered, because progressive leaders are prisoners of the ambiguities of the narrative they have built to attack the center-right and whenever they clash with reality, the strategy is to sink and wait for the embarrassment to pass. “It doesn’t matter the origin or religious belief of the attacker, the point is hatred”: the statement from Italian Left is the perfect litmus test of the approach the broad camp has towards violence. When the aggression comes from sectors that the left somehow feels close to or functional to its cause, evil is depersonalized and becomes an immanent reality of the world; when it is someone from the other side who errs, evil has a face, which becomes the symbol of an entire community, which this time is solely responsible for all the injustices in the world.
It happened yesterday with the attempted massacre in Berlin, just as the day before with the violence of the usual red-green antagonists in Val di Susa, who injured two hundred officers without a left leader making an effort to express a harsh and unequivocal condemnation, not even after the condemnation intervention of the President of the Republic. Those who go with the lame learn to limp, popular wisdom warns. But the trouble is that between violent people and leftists it is often hard to understand who started limping first. We console ourselves with the fact that at least we can still distinguish them.
