ITALIAN NEWS: The most Pathetic Protest Ever

(Translator’s Comment: I do not agree with all of Professor Fusaro’s ideas but as an informed academic his analyses on the present state of global and Italian scenarios and international issues are frequently right in my view. With this article he is spot on. The way I see it, he is describing the ever-increasing decline of Italian Catholic Culture and the frightening mushiness of the modern mind formed in modernist schools and universities).      F.R.





Rome, March 15th, 2025 - the most absurd public protest ever


The most insane and ridiculous public protest in recent history took place on March 15th in support of the European Union.

In Italy, thousands of people gathered in city squares, motivated and mobilized by Michele Serra and his surreal article which appeared in the columns of the turbo-globalist magazine “La Repubblica.”

Thousands of people who vigorously invoked the values ​​of Europe or more precisely of the European Union, celebrated at every turn, the rearmament of Europe, i.e. of Ursula von der Leyen’s neoliberalism and the rearming of Europe.

They had the audacity to sing “Bella ciao” * at the top of their voices, producing a scene that not even Orwell’s ingenious dystopia could have imagined.

Singing “Bella ciao” while calling for the rearmament of Europe marks one of the lowest points in public protest of recent history, equal only to the 1999 protests which were filled with militants calling for NATO’s imperialist intervention in Serbia.



Where are the warriors of Europe now? 


But what are these values of Europe exactly?

It would be interesting to ask the protesters calmly what values ​​of the European Union they identify with. Its finance and spending review? Its Cancel Culture and Humanitarian Wars? Its Rainbow and Green Shift for the benefit of financial capital?

Antonio Scurati, who not long ago, was mournfully calling for Mario Draghi to remain ‘on the bridge’, launched the cry “warriors of Europe”, calling in perfect Orwellian style for a pacifist army and an armed democracy.




Jovanotti the 'musically correct' singer


Among the participants at the demonstration, were Jovanotti, the hero of ‘musical correctness’ and Liliana Segre, the senator. who is militant against the horrors of the Shoah but  unwilling to recognize that what is happening in Gaza is a full-blown genocide.

We need to keep this well in mind: such insane protests in the public square have never happened before; protests that mark the definitive decline of the European Union which is nothing but an empty temple, sanctifying financial capital and neoliberal imperialism.

Furthermore, the European Union narrative about it protecting us from wars, is collapsing. On the contrary, the European Union is currently promoting new wars and proposing a rearmament destined to cost eight hundred billion euros, which will obviously be generously taken from the pockets of European citizens.


Prodi: I am a servant of the European Union

 

Perhaps Romano Prodi, one of the ‘heroes’ who led us into the euro and the European Union (and who recently affirmed that he was a “servant of the European Union), will correct his famous statement and say that thanks to the European Union and the euro 'we will fight one day less as if we had fought one day more'.  

We have to say it: fantasy has surpassed reality, making Orwell appear in every respect - an amateur.





* "Bella ciao" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈbɛlla ˈtʃaːo]; "Goodbye beautiful") is an Italian protest folk song. It was created to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North Italy at the turn of the 20th century. The song was later made as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian Resistance, against Nazi Germany.
