Hundreds of Italians
took part in protests in Rome against European media distorting reports
about the situation in Ukraine. The public demonstration took place in front of
the Ukrainian embassy, at the initiative of Giulietto Chiesa, an Italian public
activist, prominent journalist and former member of European Parliament…. "No
one in Italy knows the truth about what's happening in Ukraine. We're being fed
nothing but falsehoods. We must awaken our people, and slowly but surely they
are becoming more aware," Chiesa told Itar-Tass. He added that he believes
that the current situation in Ukraine is not just a "regional
crisis," but presents "an unparalleled threat to all." The last
straw was the murder of 48 Ukrainian civilians in Odessa, and many of those who
attended the rally in Rome came to voice their protest against the resurgence
of fascism and Nazism in Ukraine and in Europe. "No to fascism, no to war,
no to NATO in Ukraine!" chanted the participants of the peaceful
protest.Hugo Moro, one of the rally's participants, said that the assembled Italians
want to express their solidarity with the Ukrainians who fell "victims of
conspiracy and the new Nazi government in Kiev."There were young people
and older people among them, and the majority of those assembled say that do
not trust the mainstream Italian media. Many of them are supporters of leftist
political parties who traditionally oppose fascism, though it should be noted
though that there are many right-wing Italians who support Russia's stance on
Ukraine and on many other international issues.According to Chiesa, it means
that adherents of both sides of the Italian political spectrum consider Russia
to be "the only country capable of opposing the ever-present dictate of
the US".The rally on the Roman square spread to social networks too. Many
Facebook users shared pictures made by the protest's participants, so that the
manifestation virtually took place in many other cities.According to Chiesa, no
less than fifty such rallies took place in Italy during the last few weeks.
