Roccella: “Aggressive censorship against me. I expect the solidarity of Scurati and Saviano”

The minister speaks after the protest during the States General of Birth

ROME – “If you stop me from speaking you censor me. If you contest and dialogue it’s different, even if you use high tones. I’ve held many demonstrations, but I’ve never stopped someone from speaking.” The Minister for the Family, Eugenia Roccella, continues to talk about censorship on the pages of Corriere della Sera after the dispute by some students during his speech on stage during the General States of Natality. “I am for the right to dissent, always. However, I believe that guaranteeing freedom of speech is a non-negotiable right – says the minister who was unable to speak due to the shouting of the students – It was impossible to speak during the protest >”.

Countless messages of solidarity for Roccella, including those from the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella and the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. The minister underlines: “In any case, regarding censorship I would like to feel the solidarity of the various Antonio Scurati, Roberto Saviano, Nicola Lagioia, Chiara Valerio“.

During the panel “I was inundated with boos, I found it particularly unpleasant. Totally unmotivated aggressive censorship“, and she explains: “In my opinion there is a need for some in-depth analysis from a view of sisterhood, of solidarity between women. It must not be forgotten that women’s freedom starts from the recognition of a solidarity that transcends the diversity of party and opinion”. Roccella focuses on the concept of transversal sisterhood: “I don’t think that feminism is dead as some have said. But there is certainly a need for more dialogue, more listening“.
