Heather Parisi criticized a BBC interview with Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, who described himself as the former president of the federation of Italian arms manufacturers. She also referred to the BBC as the broadcaster of the most warmongering country in Europe. Parisi recalled Crosetto's statement that one could not follow public opinion when, in his opinion, it was wrong. She argued that the government had thus admitted to knowing that the majority of Italians opposed aid to Ukraine, but still wanted to proceed. She summarized the position as a choice in which citizens voted and paid, while the government decided and provided weapons. She deemed it cynical that those words were spoken by a former president of the arms manufacturers' federation and stated that the government had shown it did not consider citizens' objections. #Ucraina #Guerrafondismo #Politica (translated)
