Pedro Sanchez wants Europe to get off its ass…

to protect Francesca Albanese and the judges of the International Criminal Court from Washington's sanctions...

Then he goes a step further:

he confers upon her the Order of Civil Merit…

and says, verbatim...

“Public responsibility also implies the moral obligation not to turn the other way.”...

Here...

You heard that right?...

“Moral obligation not to turn the other way.”...

He does not turn his back on a European citizen under sanctions…

because she defends justice...

In Italy, however, do you know what happens?...

No one has done a damn thing to defend their own citizen...

Here in Italy...

There are those who announce they will collect signatures “through institutional channels” to demand Francesca-Albanese’s resignation...

There are those who take pen and paper…

as was done fifty years ago…

and write a letter of resignation...

Like a petty bureaucrat in an ego crisis writing to the boss to get the person who reminds him every day how much he sucks fired...

There are those who call her “the conscience of the world”...

and there are those who propagate to cover up the shame of a State that allows symbols of Christianity to be destroyed in an occupied land…

and remains silent when Italian soldiers on a mission are shot at...

Because here courage is always one-sided:

strong with the weak…

very weak with the strong...

Yet it is here, in Italy, that they fill their mouths with “the Christian mother”...

“the patriot”...

“the defense of our soldiers”...

“national pride”...

Alternating current patriots:

ready to mourn the flag when it suits them…

silent as fish when there is a need to defend an Italian woman put to shame for doing her job in international law...

Because the difference is all here...

On one side there are those who risk their reputation to protect those who defend the law...

On the other side there are those who act tough in rallies…

and then cower at the first call from the ally of the moment...

And in the middle, do you know who there is?...

You...

Because if today a State does not defend her…

who has a UN mandate…

a name…

an international network...

tomorrow it will not defend you either…

who have none of this shit...

If today the idea passes that a special rapporteur of the United Nations can be punished for not aligning with the “right” narrative...

tomorrow anyone of you who dares to speak up about work…

about rights…

about the environment…

about yourselves…

will discover the same thing:

that the State is not there…

that you are expendable…

that you are material to be discarded at the first change of wind...

Francesca Albanese is learning this the hard way…

piece by piece...

You… how long do you intend to take before realizing that, in this game, you could be the next target?
