But if the spokesperson for En marche!, the party of French President Macron, judges Italy “vomitevole”, because it shouldn't be said? Because some of the mainstream press feels the need to tone it down, maybe even hide, as if the reputation of France had to be defended? Today that title appeared on some sites, then disappeared, then reappeared; others have drowned the epithet inside the piece.
All this, journalistically, it doesn't make sense. The insult was there, sure enough there was, very heavy. And although Macron himself then partially corrected the aim, judging the Italian government “cynical and irresponsible”, the case is serious.
The Italian press must not be embarrassed, who if anything should be indignant. It should be the French because it is not the Italian position that is unsustainable but theirs. Of that France that closed the ports even a year ago; which brutally rejects immigrants at the Ventimiglia border, without compassion even for children and pregnant women, and even allows himself to trespass with his gendarmes into Italian territory.
The hypocrisy of Macron and his party is flagrant. And their macroscopic double standard gives the character of this European Union, never supportive in times of need and which sees Italy as a country to be exploited, to humiliate, to buy.
That country, but, thanks to Salvini and the Lega government- 5 position, now he says no and raises his head with pride. He demands respect, does not accept lessons from Paris. And he won't go back.
