Yesterday was the Election Day here in Italy. I don't like to talk about political theme on the social media, because I've aways thought there's something better than to share some words on the social media just to say "Ehi, I'm here!", we can contribute much more giving positive examples in real and talking with people in real. Polical thought written on the social media sometimes cause bad fights, bad words, violence's sentences and so I prefer to duscuss about this themes just in real. Sure, everyone who follows me on facebook or others perfectly knows that I'm against racism, homophobia, discrimination and others so you can image my bad mood when I woke up this morning in a country (MY country) where a very big part of people voted for the most racist and homophobic italian party: the Lega and his leader Matteo Salvini. The party that had more votes than the others was the "5 stelle" (5 stars), an euroscepti and very controversial movement started by the comedian Beppe Grillo and the web entrepreneur Roberto Casaleggio (just to know: this last one was involved in many investigations because his illegale use of his web agencies creating fake news on the net). They aso seems to be a bit filo-Putin. Just to know. Sincerily, I have to say that, even if I really don't like the programs of the 5 Stelle, I'm more scare by the number of the votes for the Right Partise :(
At now, we don't have a government, but just a dark future. I have to explain this part, because I think the most of you don't exactly knows how the election works in Italy:
For the italian laws about elections, a party (or an allieance of parties) have to get over 40% of votes to form a government, but yesterday no one got over that threshold so will happen one of the following thing:
1) there will be a new allieance between the parties that had an high percentage of votes, the 5 Stelle and the Lega, so we'll have an eurosceptic, racist and homophobic government
2) to have a "governo di scopo"(government of purpose), a temporary government finalized to study a new election law.
The first option is the most probably and I will not deny that I'm really scared by this.
Well, I really need to drink something hot and sweet this morning, a need a big cup of hot chocolate.
