MEP's from Lega Nord waited to receive the president of the republic in Strasbourg to move critics at international level
Opinion
Once again Italy gave a bad proof of the country, this time even worst than the previous times. Once again Italy some Italian "politicians" arrived to publicly criticize the President of the Republic, the Italian highest official. It is not the first time Giorgio Napolitano is object of criticism, but for the first time since he's been serving as head of State this criticism spread outside the country. A group of European MEP's belonging to Italian party Lega Nord received Napolitano in Strasbourg with a protest against his person and his defense of the European values. «No Euro», «Euro kills», and «Napolitano is not my president» was written on banner and t-shirt shown by the the small group led by Matteo Salvini, Mario Borghezio, and Mara Bizzotto. The protesters were stopped immediately by the president of European Parliament, Martin Schulz. «Unfortunately sometimes we have such a situation», he said once the critics were over. It has to be underlined just few minutes before Lega Nord MEP's performance Schulz, giving the floor to Napolitano, went against who spend their time to attack Napolitano, in a clear reference to Beppe Grillo's followers who said Napolitano is a «miscreant». «I have no any sympathy for those who offend you to increase their visibility and bring the country to the chaos», stated Schulz before Giorgio Napolitano's speech in the plenary session of the European Parliament. Unfortunately some Italian there didn't pay attention and decided to demonstrate against their own head of State, something never seen before in Europe. It was a clear demonstration of how Italy is confused, without any benchmark, a clear demonstration of how divided Italy is today. Furthermore, those few MEP's showed this sense of non-respect for neither anything nor for anybody, institutions included. Winston Churchill, politician serving in other times, loved to repeat «when I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home». Clearly Italians don't belong to the Anglo-Saxon world, but it's not necessary to be neither an Anglo-Saxon nor a British to understand Churchill was right. A country showing his fragility abroad, is a country weak and not credible. That's exactly what Italy is.
