Roberto Vannacci, a general and Lega party candidate in the EU parliamentary elections, has been making waves with his recent statements. In an interview with the daily newspaper “La Stampa” (Saturday edition), he called for separate school classes for disabled students. He argued that this was not discriminatory and that disabled students should be entrusted to specialists.
Vannacci’s comments sparked heated debates, with some warning of the danger of creating “ghetto classes” for the disabled. Others argued that the Italian school system should aim for full integration of all students, regardless of their abilities. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Vannacci gained attention for his views on various societal issues.
In addition to his stance on disability rights, Vannacci has also been controversial in his views on fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, calling him a “statesman.” He expressed strong opinions about abortion, stating that he believes it is an unfortunate necessity rather than a right. On migration, he emphasized the problem of illegal immigration and expressed skepticism towards a multicultural society.
Vannacci’s book “Il mondo al contrario” has been a source of debate in Italy for months due to its controversial theses. His statements on homosexuality and parenting have also been particularly contentious. Furthermore, Vannacci’s call for crucifixes in all classrooms has sparked discussions about religion in education.
Overall, Vannacci’s statements continue to be a topic of discussion in Italy, highlighting ongoing divisions within society on issues such as disability rights, fascism, abortion, migration, multiculturalism and religion in education.
