Flotilla: Conte, Meloni a patriot in reverse, those who do nothing are irresponsible

Rome, 24 September (LaPresse) – “I am speechless at Meloni’s serious statements. Faced with the shame we are witnessing, she attacks those who are mobilising against the genocide in Gaza and those who are being attacked on boats flying the Italian flag in international waters: people who, faced with the indifference and inaction of governments, have taken action to say “enough” to the massacre of 20,000 children and a Palestinian population reduced to starvation. A patriot in reverse. And instead of acting as Prime Minister with her back straight and representing us all, she plays the victim and takes it out on the opposition’. This was stated by the leader of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte, in a post on Facebook. ‘She asks us: what should I do, wage war on Israel?! The question is another, and Meloni should ask herself this in front of a mirror: how could I not lift a finger for two years with sanctions against Israel, an arms embargo, and an end to military agreements with a criminal government? Why, in the face of one of the greatest tragedies of our century, are members of my government receiving awards for their friendship with a criminal government? Answer that, if you can. The truly irresponsible ones in this affair are those who have turned a blind eye.
