The Conte government has obtained confidence, by a wide margin, in the House and Senate, but above all it was born with broad popular support. In fact, the polls attribute this to the two political forces that express it, Five Stars and League, about the 60% of suffrages. However, no government like this has been opposed by almost all of the Italian mass media.
Antonio Socci has well described this "universal prejudice" above Libero (3 June), while Marco Travaglio, are The Daily Fact (6 June), published a long anthology of the heavy judgments reserved for the nascent government by almost all the newspapers, left and right.
Conte was accused of being a «friend of the people like Marat» (Corriere della Sera, 18 maggio) and to prepare «a Venezuelan future» for Italy (The Sheet 16 maggio). «There is an Italian case in the West», wrote the director of The Press (27 maggio), while for the director of Republic, «the mixture of inexperience, improvisation and arrogance will not take long to emerge. Fasten your seat belts» (2 June).
This ideological factionalism has translated into violent intolerance towards the new Minister of the Family, Lorenzo Fontana, guilty of speaking out in favor of the natural family, protected by the article 29 of the Constitution, of having detected the existence of a demographic crisis in Italy and of having participated in the March for Life of 19 maggio.
In an interview given to Corriere della Sera (2 June) and in a letter addressed to the newspaper The weather (4 June), Fontana forcefully reiterated his opinions. L’on. Salvini took over, not wrongly, that these ideas are not part of the government contract. It should be noted, however, that Italy is a parliamentary republic in which the Government has the executive function and the Parliament has the legislative function..
For almost thirty years, dal 1963 al 1992, Italy was governed by two political forces, the Christian Democrats and the Socialist Party, who had opposing views on issues concerning family and morality. Divorce was not on the Colombo government's agenda (1970-1972), nor abortion in that of the Andreotti government (1978-1979), which was supported with the external support of the Communist Party.
Yet some secularist parliamentarians presented bills in favor of divorce and abortion, which were respectively approved, In the 1970 and in 1978, by parliamentary majorities that did not reflect the position of the executive. When the Christian Democrat presidents of the Council and of the Republic were accused of having signed laws that were against their conscience as Catholics, they replied that they had simply countersigned laws made by Parliament, and not by the government.
Well, in the new Parliament, a transversal majority could not be created that would impose legislative changes in defense of life and the family, even if this is not part of the government agreement? Italy has ceased to be a parliamentary republic?
Minister Fontana, in his beautiful letter to The weather, he declared: «We are not afraid of facing the dictatorship of single thought. (…) We have broad enough shoulders to resist gratuitous attacks by responding with the evidence of the facts, the strength of ideas and the concreteness of actions».
Let the minister know, of not being alone. Behind him are the men of common sense, those who consider gender theory madness, who reject homosexual unions as unnatural, who are determined to defend the normal family, founded on indissoluble marriage, composed of a man and a woman; those who intend to bring children into the world and educate and train them, to make them good citizens of earth and Heaven.
The minister can count on the help of these men of good will, but above all he can count on the help of Heaven, who does not abandon those who are not ashamed of proclaiming themselves Catholic, defends natural law and fights against the new barbarians for the noblest of ideals which is the restoration of Christian civilization, the only civilization in history worthy of the name.
