It is forbidden to criticize the new Chilean president Gabriel Boric: the risk is to be given “fascist“in a completely free way, perhaps even by a minister of the Republic.
The political analyst found out the hard way Francesco Ramella than on Twitter he had taken the liberty of writing the following about the left-wing leader’s claim in the South American country: “An evil, perhaps, necessary for the establishment of a communist regime”. A legitimate and interpretative comment that has no reason to be stigmatized.
The Minister of Labor Andrea Orlando, however, does not seem to think so, since in the retweet Ramella’s twittering, he came out like this: “The fascists where you don’t expect it”. In short, Boric cannot be criticized for the exponent of the Democratic Party. And whoever dares gets caught by the “fascist”. A storm emerged over the stance of the current member of the government chaired by Mario Draghi: “I’m afraid you didn’t understand what @ramella_f wrote and, above all, you don’t realize that insulting someone for their ideas, calling them a fascist, is a fascist method to silence unwelcome people. Think about it”, points out a user. And another notes: “Where you do not expect it. Ah, I remind you that the president of bruno leoni, franco de benedetti, was your senator – first pds then ds – from 94 to 2006”. The reference, in this last case, is to Ramella’s belonging to the Bruno Leoni institute.
However, Minister Orlando tries to justify himself: “This tweet makes clear the previous one.” No. “It was valid” only if the alternative was that of an equally disastrous communist regime for the respect of human rights and with, in addition, disastrous economic policies. ” I will be mediocre but I can read “, argues under the tweet which gave rise to this story. But now the social controversies have been triggered. The columnist Benedetta Frucci He continues: “Minister, have you called Dr. Ramella a fascist or not? And is it not incitement to hatred to point out as a fascist who has expressed an opinion? Or is hatred only on the right? You are a Minister of the Republic , not secretary of a club in Romagna. Words have a weight “. In short, Orlando should have paid more attention to tones and topics.
Gabriel Boric he is the new champion of the left, also of the European one, and weighing the risks of a possible and excessive shift to the left of politics in the South American nation can involve all this. “I would like to quietly point out that his friends at the IBL are the PNRR consultants of the government of which you are minister”, another user sentenced, pointing out to Orlando how the criticisms of those who are part of the Bruno Leoni institute are far from the current stage and the choices of the executive.
