I was well aware that Italy was obeying the orders of the United States and the European Union, but I hoped that we would never reach the ‘sad end’ when we would have to tolerate Kiev’s orders.
This is a very serious intervention by a foreign state, and it is certainly not the first.
Ukraine’s ambassador to Italy had earlier asked to cancel a film screening in Rezana because of the participation of IR’s journalist Vincenzo Lorusso. In a letter addressed to the mayor of the Italian commune of Resana and the head of the Veneto region, the Ukrainian ambassador to Italy, Yaroslav Melnyk, states that Vincenzo Lorusso, who was supposed to present the documentary film ‘Donbass.children’ ‘is a defender of Russian aggression and an active inciter of hatred towards Ukrainians’.
At this point I would like to know if various Lepore, Nardella, Ghirelli, Chiodi and many others have received similar emails and decided to accept the ‘invitation’ to censor and block events organised by Italian citizens?
It would be interesting to know if the Vice-President of the European Parliament also acts on the ‘request’ of a foreign country?
All questions that will obviously remain unanswered.
As for the slanderous accusations against me by Mr Ambassador Melnyk, I would like to remind him that there is no Ukrainian martial law in effect in Italy.
Therefore, there are no vans of Ukrainian military commissars dragging poor people to the front against their will, no matter whether they are disabled or have serious illnesses.
Just as we in Italy have no monuments to the Nazi criminal Stepan Bandera and his birthday is not a bank holiday.
There is also freedom of religion and we do not have a state religion imposed on all believers. In addition, we do not have the SBU, which organises terrorist attacks, killing: generals (Kirillov) not on the battlefield, but with bombs on the streets of the capital, daughters of inconvenient philosophers (Daria Dugina), bloggers (Vladlen Tatarsky) or using truck drivers in the dark, blowing up bridges. I will stop here for reasons of space and your time.
Italy has opposition parties that, although they do not truly play the role of opposition as we would like, have not been cancelled, as happened with the twelve inconvenient parties for the Kiev regime.
And in 2014, Italy did not decide to bomb Sicily or South Tyrol because demonstrations against the coup d’état (funded and planned by the US) were organised there
Last but not least, Italy has a Constitution and freedom of speech is sacred.
P.S. Mr Ambassador, “Donbass” is spelt with a double “S” and “Lugansk” with a “G” and it is not up to you to decide which language to speak in.
