This is a bill that is controversial in Italy: for Lavinia Mennuni, senator from the party of Giorgia Meloni (Fratelli d’Italia, – FDI), Christmas is a holiday of Christian tradition and nothing else. To the point that she wants to impose constraint measures on school directors.
In this text, the Christmas nativity scene and little Jesus would not be obligatory at school but if a parent or student wants to organize an event with the symbols of Christian Christmas, school leaders could not object. . What the senator can’t stand is Christmas.”secularized“, transformed into a multicultural winter celebration.
“The holy family took refuge in a nursery to escape persecution, the ruling party would send them today to a detention center.”

This bill is only just beginning its legislative journey. The text is presented just before the holidays without any chance of being adopted this year. It remains to be seen whether, with this kind of publicity effect, Giorgia Meloni’s movement loses or scores points in public opinion. In any case, the controversial effect is guaranteed.
