Al Bano Carrisi in defense of Qatar, or rather its laws. The singer commented on the reprisals of the players involved in the World Cup against the rules in force in Saudi Arabia. Especially those on the rights of the Lgbtq+ community. In fact, FIFA has banned footballers wear the “OneLove” band. No wonder for the artist, who commented in an interview with Adnkronos: “FIFA was right not to allow wearing the armband. When you go to other people you have to follow the rules this house. If you go to a country that has ancestral rules, you must respect them even if you disagree with them because you are a guest in their house. That must make us understand how lucky we are to live in Italy.”
And once again: “You have to be born in this country to understand its mentality – the singer admitted – this serve as a lesson for us because we must never forget how lucky we are to live in Italy despite everything. I think like a lucky man because I was born in a country where freedom often leads to self-indulgence – he continued wryly – and that’s not a positive thing.”
Another country right now is getting people talking about it. Russia passes anti-LGBT propaganda law. “It does as a form of defence against NATO – he thundered – let’s not forget that Putin was a great lover of all things Western and they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize”. Peace is always the key word to get out of the conflict. “We must act through diplomacy – he concluded – enough with the wars. We must fight with the power of words, not with weapons. We need a world law that says ‘no war from now on’”.
