Let’s call it the Germany effect, or AfD psychosis. The vote in Saxony-Anhalt with the triumph of the far-right party led by Alice Weidel is going to the heads of the left, especially the Italian left which, after shouting about the black wave against Giorgia Meloni since the summer of 2022, today seems to have changed its target: Roberto Vannacci. With grotesque consequences and moments of stunning, unintentional comedy.
“The party in Italy that most closely resembles the AfD program is Futuro Nazionale of Vannacci – asks the correspondent of 4 di Sera, on Rete 4, to Nichi Vendola -. Do you think the center-right will incorporate the general or not?”. The answer of the former governor of Puglia, noble father and president of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra, borders on dismay: “But many, let’s say, a piece of Vannacci-ism is already inside the government’s choices. Characters like Vannacci at first seem like folklore characters, they seem like acrobats, jesters, clowns, but even Adolf Hitler at the beginning was the painter, so he was mocked by the local press, he was considered a buffoon. These adventures start in folklore, end in massacre, end in tragedy”.
“I would like to say something that many have not grasped well – continues Vendola -. The first proposal of the neo-Nazis in Germany is to return to differentiated classes for children with disabilities, to return to that point. And I would like to remind that at the beginning of Germany, even before the crematorium ovens and the extermination camps, there was the white killing of hundreds of thousands of disabled children. Be careful, because when the principle is affirmed that there are lives that matter and lives that do not matter, we are entering a catastrophic horizon“.
