The race to see who is more left has begun. The ideal challenge for those who have had it for a long time: anti-timelonism, of course. On the pages of La Stampa and Espresso, Michelle Murgia he crunched Enrico Letta ideally addressed to him with a fiery letter. “Tell us there’s something left.” The Sardinian writer questioned the DE secretary, accusing him of not representing enough of the extremist opposition she was hoping for against the government. Rather, the queer activist claims in his article for himself and some intellectuals the role of like-minded people true antagonists from center-right. In fact, the “new government fascism,” to use the author’s own words.
Letter from Michela Murgia
Based on a newspaper headline (“Mattarella defeats Saviano and the Murgia”), the writer railed against the Pd secretary. “It’s natural to ask them: Why are my name and that of Saviano, instead of his or someone else’s opposition? Because we are the leaders of theextreme right are they exposing their social media base to the wrath? Why does the right act as if its opposition were intellectuals and not political opponents sitting in parliament? election stroke not yet fully metabolized.
“The New Government Fascism”
“We feel good about you, too,” the author decided, because – she continued – “the act of public comment against the New fascism To associate government with you, the political subject who, because of your historical legacy, should be so antagonistic to you that some even seem to be taking a stand through our voice. But it’s not like that”. From here, the accusation against the Democratic Party of being closed in on itself, a hostage of its own “internal risk“. Meanwhile – the queer activist complained – “every day the Meloni government makes a disastrous and illiberal decision, and the civic urgency requires that everyone with a public voice make use of it”.
The reproach to all schwa
Then the deadly reprimand for everything black. “We are tired of acting as moral substitutes for a colorless party that is silent instead of speaking, whispering where to shout and mediating where to erect barricades. It’s us weary saying the words you don’t say and seeing the shitstorms (and sometimes even the lawsuits) coming to defend the issues and values you have put aside…” Michela Murgia attacked and reserved instead applause for the Green MEP Aboubakar Soumahoro. “We are comforted to see him aboard a humanitarian ship.” Then the playwright called on left-wing politicians to fight on the migrant issue. Definitely for landings. “Immigration must not be stopped, and not just because we need it, but because recognizing people’s right to better living conditions is a guiding principle of the idea of the world a left worthy of the name wants to build. If not, you can’t say that either, you’d do well to remain silent.”
Hence the ultimatum: “Stop proposing alternatives to this right, which, although rooted in the crudest fascism, is at least consistent in its relationship between intention and action.”
