"The True Right" •
Vannacci overtakes Salvini once again: instead of rosaries, he brings Jesus directly into the conversation
On Facebook, the Constituent Committee of Futuro Nazionale in Latiano posted an image of Christ ascending to heaven, accompanied by a caption referring to the centre-right: “I wouldn’t want to be biased, but even Jesus, having ascended to heaven, sat at the right hand of the Father – who am I to go to the left?”

We had left off with Matteo Salvini’s rosaries, waved like pennants, used in place of the old ampoules into which Umberto Bossi used to pour the water of the “God Po” at the source of Monviso. General Vannacci goes a step further and, instead of rosaries, brings the Chief Himself – that is, Jesus – directly into the picture. Since Christ, having ascended to Heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, it follows that, for the sake of ‘consistency’ (sic), one must stand on the right. And as Laura Ravetto declared from the galleries of Montecitorio, “we are the true right”. As, indeed, another of Vannacci’s new followers, Mario Borghezio, attested years ago: the white, Christian right. That time it was Padania, but those are mere details.
