French PM says human rights and abortion access are European values after Italian election

  1. For those who do not know why France is saying this:

    [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/abortion-rights-at-risk-in-region-led-by-party-of-italys-possible-next-pm](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/abortion-rights-at-risk-in-region-led-by-party-of-italys-possible-next-pm)

    “**Giorgia Meloni, the party chief who hopes to become prime minister, has described abortion as a “defeat of the pure italian catholic values”**, although recently said abolishing the 1978 law was not on her agenda. **The Brothers of Italy-led council has proposed allowing anti-abortion activists, who already infiltrate hospitals to pressure women not to end their pregnancy, to work in family counselling clinics**.

    Carlo Ciccioli, **the Brothers of Italy group leader in Marche’s council said “The Italian population is decreasing. I’m not saying foreigners shouldn’t have children but we need to create the conditions for real Italians to reproduce,**” last year he also provoked controversy after **speaking of “ethnic substitution” of Italian children in schools.”**

    Here you go, this is the new far-right conservative Italian government, no non-whites allowed to exist in their “perfect pure catholic white country”…

  2. Dear French PM

    access to abortion has been a HUGE issue in Italy since 1978, when it was basically made legal. The main cause? Check on the other side of the river Tevere

    Oh, and by the way, congratulations for noticing it in 2022. Now, unless you have some practical solution to the issue you want to discuss, could you please go back to taking care of your country? Many thanks

  3. Italian politics are not your concern . You may take care of France and the respective elected officials will take care of Italy.

  4. She should take care of teachers being beheaded in her country instead, in Italy Meloni already said that the civil union law for gay people and the abortion laws will not be cancelled nor they will be modified in any way.

    How about she minds her own business?

  5. Far-right loonies recoil every time they’re confronted and exposed because they know they can’t actually substantiate their inhumane views. Good on French PM to call them out.
