Ilaria Salis : « En Hongrie, j’ai été soumise à un procès politique qui avait la vengeance pour but »

L’eurodéputée italienne, élue en juin 2024 sur la liste de l’Alliance des Verts et de la gauche, vient d’échapper à la levée de son immunité demandée par le pouvoir hongrois, qui veut la juger pour son activisme antifasciste. Dans la péninsule, elle est devenue l’un des nouveaux visages de la gauche.

This article is intended as a sad reflection on the enduring courage, decency and compassion of so many ordinary individuals caught up in the conflict- including my friend, Nabil, in Gaza, a former Israeli hostage, and a participant in the Sumud aid flotilla, and the woeful failure of their leaders.

It’s the exploration of the denial and its foundation many decades earlier (providing the narrative) that I find most fascinating, though it has been rarely delved into by commentators.
Definitely an accurate parallel and vehemence to the same arguments voiced during Apartheid South Africa.

There was certainly something recently which monopolised all public debate and paralysed all policy initiative in the UK for the better part of a decade, and I dont think it was trans rights.

Britain doesn’t have a climate for flag flying, that perhaps explains the drive to fly them in other places.

👉To secure a true strategic advantage, our report recommends that the UK abandon the unrealistic ambition of being a "global tech superpower" and instead adopt a radically prioritised approach to its tech policy in line with the resources at its disposal.
