ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The opening ceremony of Milan-Cortina 2026 will have characteristics centered “on respect” and this “freezes the risks of free interpretation”. This was said by the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, during the press conference to present initiatives for the Day of Memory, answering a question about the presence of Ghali at the opening ceremony of winter Olympic games. “Surely beyond the experience of each artist there will be no equivocs on the ideal, cultural and also ethical address of the ceremony. “It doesn’t make me any embarrassment not to share Ghali’s thought and the messages he sent – he added Abodi – but I think a country should know how to hold on to the shock of an artist who expressed a thought that we don’t share, and that will not be expressed on that stage.”.
M5S “DA ABODI CENSURA PREVENTIVA”
“When a minister allows himself the luxury of saying that an artist “will not express his thought on stage” is not talking about respect or ethics: he is claiming a prior censorship. Period. It is not a matter of sharing or not the ideas of Ghali, it is a much more serious matter: a government that claims to establish in advance what can be said and what not. Behind the language of Andrea Abodi there is only fear of freedom of expression. Who represents Abodi when expressing in this way? Art is not born to be neutral, tamed or harmless, but to express itself freely. Those who cannot hold it are simply because they do not hold democracy. This government demonstrates every day that it does not know the freedom of expression and violate it with every means. The sooner they go home, the better for all.” Thus in a note the members of the M5S in the Committee Culture of the Chamber.
FONTI LEGA “ODIATORE GHALI A CERIMONIA DI APERTURA E’ UMILIAZIONE”
“Ghali at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a disconcerting news, made even more disgusting thinking that tomorrow is the Day of Memory. The Milan Cortina 2026 games will be an extraordinary business card for Italy in the eyes of the world, an event that has become reality thanks to years of hard work with the women and men of the League in the front line. It’s really amazing to meet at the opening ceremony a hater of Israel and the centerpiece, already protagonist of embarrassing and vulgar scenes. Italy and the Games deserve an artist, not a fanatic proPal”. So sources of the League, which emphasize the “disconcert” of the party at all levels.
