Under threats from atomic bombs on the Russian side and a winter that is already beginning to solidify bills begin, Italian politicians, at least those who lost them in the elections, are rediscovering the word peace. And the calendar for the next few weeks could be filled with pacifist weekends. We talk about the peace between To fly and Kyiv, Naturally. Certainly not those of the parties preparing to resist the next government Giorgia Meloni. Strengthened by the election result, the initiative of Giuseppe Conte pursues the Pdthat hardly a day goes by without reacting to what he sees as a provocation: supporting the idea of a pro-peace demonstration open to everyone – “including those who vote on the right,” said the federation leader M5s – and without political flags. When? Next 4.11. This day is the Festival of the Armed Forces and pacifist and anti-militarist groups have always taken to the streets. But that was enough to anger many demo officials, sure to have given their full support to Kyiv and NATO at the ballot box, and thus unavailable for any possible anti-NATO tones.
The last one with peace of mind is Graziano Delrio. “They want to put their hat on an initiative already announced for October 21, in which we will participate, but without exploiting it,” he said in an interview with the National Newspaper, referring to the demonstration promoted by the pacifist associations . And he takes it out on Conte’s spokesman, Rocco Casalino: “He is able to make people believe that the demonstrations are their idea, but in reality they are promoted by peace groups, not by Conte, who increased military spending when he was prime minister.” In short, how the deputy secretary of the Democratic Party said in recent days Giuseppe Provenzano, “We do not give Conte the word peace”. As for the merits of the Ukraine conflict, Delrio speaks of a painful decision to help Kyiv by sending arms. “The Ukrainian resistance, supported by our arms, was crucial to prevent the spread of violence and bullying, but the priority is to achieve one armistice with the help of Europe”.
But if Conte limited himself to setting the arrow, who is already overtaking is Dem Vincenzo De Luca, with an all-Neapolitan demonstration already planned for October 28: “The bigger the demonstration, the better, there is no closed enclosure,” says the governor of Campania, concerned about an escalation leading to nuclear power. “If the goal is peace, we must ask for a ceasefire everywhere, but if someone imagines that the solution is military, it means that they are preparing the conditions for achieving the ceasefire nuclear war” Added De Luca, commenting with the press on the latest developments in the conflict. With this he connects the topic of social distress love energy: “We must ensure that the energy crisis does not lead to a social and productive drama in our country and in the West, these are intertwined issues”.
But is anyone in Washington and Brussels telling Zelenskyy where to stop?

But even outside of the political secretariats, intolerance towards the absence of a peace process is felt. Without mincing words, Milena Gabanelli tweeted a question that likely interprets the mood of many, given the debate the tweet is sparking. The journalist’s question is aimed at Europe and the United States: “But someone a Washington and Brussels says A Zelensky where does it end?” he asks, apparently referring to the Crimean bridge explosion. In short, how far can the Ukrainian counterattack go for us Westerners?
