Stories and News No. 1284 It is the year 2034, ladies and gentlemen, and this is a journey into a nightmare that some call a dream. Much has changed since the September election day twelve years ago. As promised, many say, or perhaps we should say feared. The Italian government - moved to the right of itself, formed by the trio Meloni, Salvini and Berlusconi, has already won more than one mandate and is a favorite for the next. Because by now they have understood how to force the rules, manipulate the parties on the field and divide to conquer, winning hands down with percentages even higher than expected. But let's talk about how Italy has changed since the day they took office. In recent years, the acutal government has disrupted the Italian media landscape, which has led to accusations of limitation of media freedoms by the European Union and by groups for democracy. The executive has strengthened its hold on the national media, along with TV, turning them into spokespersons...

Stories and News No. 1240 From today, July 8, 2021, the so-called anti-Lgbt law by the Orbán government goes into effect in Hungary... Once upon a time, a long one ago, but not too much, in a very distant place, but also not, an island. An island… let's say a tiny islet, a single fruit tree, four shriveled bushes and an equally negligible strip of beach. On the island located in a distant place, but also close, long ago, but that is not certain, there lived two men. Only two inhabitants. Alone. Two. The only two men, two inhabitants, alone, were alone. That is, in the same island, very far away, even if the reverse is also true, in another era, but ours is fine too, they were alone within themselves and did not do much to change this state of affairs. On the other hand, aren't we many, too many, who behave identically? Now, it so happens that after many years the day came when the two collided under the scorching sun and with the roar of the waves as a soundtrack, because...

Stories and News No. 1227   Fairy tales are for everyone The current government at the head of Hungary, led by the Hungarian Civic Union party – remember MEP József Szájer caught in Belgium by the police last December with after an orgy defined as "gay" by the press - has always lashed out against diversity, whether they are about gender, origin or faith. Hungary has harshly condemned last year the release of a book entitled Fairyland is for everyone. It is the work of the Labrisz association, committed to defending the rights of LGBT people, and wants to teach young readers to be more respectful towards others, whatever category they belong to. Consequently, the anthology contains, for example, stories in which there is a prince who loves another prince, others with Roma characters or people with disabilities, in addition to dark-skinned Snow White who is renamed Leaf Brown. Now, these days Orbán’s government has imposed that the association's books, in particular...

Stories and News No. 1223 Once upon a time the rottenness. But yes, I know, it's not the first time, and it certainly won't be the last. Because the fairy tale does not change in the plot and the immoral ending, despite being told by characters – you know who, they too – who cheat and pretend, yell angrily if the hypocritical audience asks for it, raving about idiocy of ideal families and moral codes. Yes I know. József Szájer, MEP from the Hungarian Civic Union, aka Fidesz, the right-wing Viktor Orbàn’s party, recently participated in an orgy in Brussels that was described as "gay" by all the media around the world. A party that has declared war towards the LGBT movement. But don't be surprised, come on. It is a fresh news but an old story too. It is not an exception as they will try to say, explain and more than ever cover up. This is the only credible synopsis of this monotonous tale, of skilled sellers of a facade decoration for institutional evenings, t...
