Rome, June 14 (LaPresse) – Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has spoken of "censorship" regarding the requirement of an "anti-fascist certification" requested from publishing houses in order to take part in the book fair "Più libri più liberi", scheduled in Rome. The Prime Minister wrote this in a post on X. "To participate in the small and medium-sized publishing fair ‘Più libri più liberi’, which will take place in Rome, publishing houses will this year have to obtain an ‘anti-fascist certification’, by signing a specific declaration," Meloni said. "This is how the left conceives freedom of thought: you are free, but only if you say what they allow you to say, if you think what they think, if you read what they consider appropriate." "The cancellation of non-left-wing ideas, disguised as anti-fascist struggle, is an old habit of the left, but it is a story no one believes anymore," Meloni concluded. "It is simply called censorship. And censorship is incompatible with any democratic society."
