Putting aside the bitter feelings this makes me feel, this is horrible news. From my experience in my own country, voting as a minority & leftist person feels like fighting the waves these last years... I just keep thinking about when things will take a similar turn to Italy's in other countries too, because it seems like only a matter of time.
Did I miss the line in the linked article where it says that one or more of the affected families actually previously supported the extreme-right government, or is your meme simply totally misplaced?
You're right, I'll be removing the meme. It was in poor taste.
I chose to post it because of my personal frustration with the turn politics are taking both in my southern European country and in Europe overall.
I come from Greece and in our last elections we had a historically low voter turnout, with mostly conservative and far-right voters showing up. Which lead to a very fascist parliament. And then everyone was surprised with the results, which made me feel "well what were we all expecting when we didn't even show up to vote?".
But I don't really know how the elections went in Italy, so my comment was indeed misplaced.
