The left never contradicts itself. Especially when it comes to using taxpayers’ money for their own purposes. “The PD-led province of Grosseto uses public taxpayers’ money to stage a show of pure political propaganda in local theaters, in which the deputy prime minister and former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini is ridiculed and Carola Rackete, the captain, is incensed of the NGO ship Sea Watch 3 which forced the naval blockade in 2019, was arrested for aiding illegal immigration and accused of having rammed a Guardia di Finanza patrol boat. At this unworthy spectacle which invites disobedience and glorifies illegality, high school students are called upon to act as spectators, exploited for the purposes of the ongoing electoral campaign. After the case of the Livorno high school which brought the skipper of the Mediterranean NGO to the chair, another testimony of how the left aims to subtly inculcate its immigrationist ideology in young people”, this is the complaint from the Tuscan MEP of the League, Susanna Ceccardi.

“What was staged in Orbetello – added the Tuscan regional councilor Massimiliano Baldini – is a classic show that tends to indoctrinate the public present, in this case young people, future voters. An event, among other things financed with public money, where the figure of Carola Rackete, accused of having rammed an Italian patrol boat, is extolled and Minister Salvini is openly mocked. A representation that aims to exalt the figure of Rackete herself and to condemn a minister of the Republic, whose face is represented in a bucket, highlighted by the actress. A shameful and unilateral way to spread propaganda that we send back to the sender. Was the province of Grosseto aware of what the plot of the show would be? A question to which we await an immediate answer.”

A show of dubious taste, brought to the attention of the Grosseto students with a specific purpose. “I am outraged by the staging of this theatrical performance, aimed at some classes of our high school – finally declares the councilor for youth policies of the Municipality of Orbetello Silvia Magi -. The message transmitted, already highly questionable in itself, is also aggravated by an explicit, vulgar attack on Minister Salvini. When ideology enters schools, we are faced with a serious situation. Kids don’t deserve to be exploited like this.”
