Hail in Cremona? Meloni’s fault. Floods in Nepal? What questions… always Meloni’s fault. Avs is now a broken record. “Even today Giorgia Meloni remains silent on the climate crisis – explained Angelo Bonelli -. Italy is devastated by extreme events and the Prime Minister continues to look the other way. In Cremona, a tornado brought the city to its knees in just ten minutes: over 40 injured, at least 10,000 damaged cars, roofs torn off, families evacuated, businesses and farms affected. The Cathedral, the Town Hall, ten churches, and three pavilions of the Fair were damaged. In Lombardy, over 500 intervention requests were made to the Fire Brigade, while violent hailstorms hit Bergamo, Brescia, and Brianza. Thunderstorms, wind, and hail also struck Piedmont, Veneto, and Piacenza, destroying crops and infrastructure.”

And again: “At the same time, the Center-South is burning, with temperatures reaching 46 degrees in Sardinia and 45 in Sicily, fires, and an increasingly warm Mediterranean. In Bologna, a worker died while working under extreme temperatures – adds Bonelli -. Tornadoes, hailstorms, floods, droughts, fires, and heatwaves: these are not isolated events nor a tragic fatality. It is the climate crisis, which the Meloni government continues to deny culpably to protect the interests of the oil and gas lobbies.” “The government’s climate indifference exacts a daily toll on families, workers, businesses, and farmers. Meloni must break the silence and tell the country why she obstructs climate policies, slows down renewable energy, and does not implement a real plan for adaptation and securing the territory. The time for talk – she concluded – is over: Italy is already in a climate emergency.”
Echoing him is Nicola Fratoianni: “The apocalyptic images of the flooding in Nepal and Tibet leave one breathless – the post on Instagram by the Avs leader -. Unfortunately, it is not a coincidence, an unfortunate event. It is the consequence of climate change. And we do not have to go to the Himalayas to see its effects. It is useless to hide behind a finger, the situation is critical. If we do not act immediately to drastically reduce our emissions, we will reach the point of no return, with increasingly frequent and destructive extreme climate events.”

“For Avs what happened in Nepal-Tibet would be linked to Giorgia Meloni and her government, accused of being climate indifferent and having brought us to the edge of a cliff – the reply from Augusta Montaruli of FdI -. After blaming the government for the summer heat, now it’s the flood that happened on another continent. Simply pathetic. Yet Nicola Fratoianni posts on social media a post that starts with dramatic photos from Nepal-Tibet, with a warning to users about their severity, but ends with an image of the Prime Minister with Minister Pichetto. While missing persons are still being searched for and the dead counted, Fratoianni and the AVS group have nothing better to do than spread distorted messages using a tragedy to attack the right wing. A true act of compulsive obsessives degenerated into media jackals.”
And again: “This also says a lot about the content of a left that, evidently not knowing what to cling to, ends up making itself ridiculous. Fratoianni, besides making an improper connection and a gratuitous accusation against Giorgia Meloni, forgets some details. For example, regarding pollution, he omits to mention China as the leading nation for CO2 emissions. Who knows why AVS, precisely when talking about the environment in relation to the Nepal-Tibet case, forgets to mention that nation. There is a nostalgic resurgence that forces them to always divert to Giorgia Meloni and the government. Meanwhile, the government is on the ground with a task force seriously dealing with what happened.”
