J’Accuse of May 16 on the failed knights of the governing majority in Rome. Refusal to stand up to denounce the genocide in Gaza

J’Accuse of May 16 on the failed knights of the governing majority in Rome. Refusal to stand up to denounce the genocide in Gaza 

It is also true that parliaments actually seem like stages where each political party is inspired by some ideal, invents its leading figure and composes its political speeches to build or influence the government's action and the future of the country. Two days ago, a parliamentary debate on the state of the economy, reforms and international politics took place in the Chamber of Deputies with the intervention of the major figures, party leaders that our country boasts today, in the presence of President Meloni. If the tones and souls of the interventions were heated, the topics touched upon were equally explosive: there is talk of reforms made, of results achieved on the economic and financial level by the government. Meloni is enthusiastic about the action of her government. She proudly asserts that our finances with the spread that has dropped below the German one are in perfect health, that employment is galloping at levels never seen before, that the economy and exports have grown and that to confirm this the trade balance is in growing surplus. In short, according to the extreme right, the beautiful country is experiencing an era of growth and economic prosperity in a difficult international context full of wars and dangers. Nonsense, nonsense, replies her rival, the secretary of the PD, accusing her of telling lies and of painting the difficult and disastrous reality of our country as a Monet's garden, without thorns and poisons. But the thing that raises tension in the Chamber is the issue of the genocide in Gaza. The leader of the M5S Conte speaks clearly about it, harshly condemning the silent and openly complicit attitude of our government and its President who has never said a single word of condemnation against the violence and horrors perpetrated by the Zionist Army and the war criminal Netanyahu against the Palestinian people. Moreover, our country happens to be the third supplier of weapons to Israel and therefore the genocide in Gaza is also carried out with Italian weapons. At the end of his harsh speech against Meloni's line in Gaza, Conte invites the parliamentarians to stand up in solidarity against the ongoing genocide. Only the deputies of his party stand up and the others remain seated including the simpering and irritated President. For her, all Palestinian children can die. Her subservience to Netanyahu is a bias but also an indelible stain for which not only her political party but the entire country will be held accountable. It saddens me to observe that one could also renounce one's party pride and one's convictions in the name of defending human rights violated in Palestine and elsewhere. Unfortunately, this nihilistic attitude speaks volumes about the moral and political climate that prevails in our country and in the world: we are in the era of moral shamelessness and crude barbarism where decaying democracies offer weapons and support to foment wars and fuel genocides in the name of geopolitical interests, imperialisms and dictatorships against the peoples of the earth and international law itself, which has become waste paper.
