Olympic tit for tat. The Games end in Paris, the controversy begins in Italy. The successes of the Azzurri relaunch the debate on the jus soli for the attribution of Italian citizenship to those born here. And at the center of the discussion is theoro from the Women’s National Volleyball Team. If the opposition presses again to extend citizenship to those born on Italian soil, the government majority is putting up a wall. This is what the president of the Brothers of Italy group in the Senate says, Lucio Malan (who was in Paris to applaud the historic bronze of his nephew Giorgio in the pentathlon), on X: “Did the PD watch the Olympics before Paris? In London 2012 among the medalists were 8 Italians like Egonu”. And Malan quotes an article from Century of Italy who accuses: “Those of the Democratic Party, on the other hand, do not like men’s volleyball: in fact, they have exalted the Italian women’s volleyball team, but from Nazareno no one celebrated the medal of the men’s national team, a symbol of integration. And yet in that team the Polish player played Michal LaskoItalian in Egonu style Ivan Zaytsevborn in Spoleto and son of two champions from the former Soviet Union”.

Berruto’s response to Malan
The provocation of the Melonian senator does not fall on deaf ears. The deputy and sports manager for the Democratic Party, Mauro Berrutohe replies sarcastically: “No, I didn’t see them. I did them, being the National team coach cited in the article. Good evening from the head of sports of the Democratic Party”. In 2012, Berruto led the men’s national volleyball team to the Olympic bronze. Thus the dem finds the decisive point in the battle by tweets.

Zaytsev Defends Egonu: “We Will Erase Your Racism”
He played in Berruto’s team Ivan Zaytsevamong the greatest opposites in the history of the Azzurri. In a story on Instagram, the “Tsar” (as he is nicknamed) took a stand in defense of Paola Egonuattacked by the MEP of the League Roberto Vannacci and at the centre of the news for the mural dedicated to her byartist Laika a Romavandalized after a few hours. “I am tired, fed up and pissed off of seeing an exceptional athlete like Paola, the pride of our women’s national volleyball team, gold medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympics, constantly attacked. Some will say – Zaytsev wrote in a story on Instagram – that they are few but loud, that they are just ignorant and envious, but the truth is that no one has ever offended me for the color of my skin and my typically ‘Italian’ blond hair, right?”.

Zaytsev: “Sickened by hypocrites and ignoramuses”
The message continues: “I am sick of these hypocritical and ignorant attempts at destabilization, division and profound ingratitude. I would just like to enjoy this sporting masterpiece of these 13 extraordinary Italian athletes and their superlative staff without some imbecile seeking visibility, trying to drag someone down because history cannot be erased. But your racism, yes, we will erase it – concluded Zaytsev – with raised voices, shields and dunks in the heart”.
