1. #Italy is going through a devastating economic crisis,millions live in poverty,our #PublicHealthSystem is collapsing,and yet our government will increase our #MilitarySpending dramatically.
Most of Italian media don't dare to say: we can't afford to spend so much

2. as a journalist,I was relieved when reading the #WikiLeaks cables: they provide evidence that between 2001 and Feb2010, both right-wing and centerleft Italian governments resisted US pressures to increase #Italy's #MilitarySpending to 2% GDP. BUT now, things will change
3. #Italy will increase its #MilitarySpending dramatically,no matter millions live in poverty and poverty will skyrocket, no matter our hospitals are collapsing,after #Covid.
Most of the Italian media don't dare to say: we shouldn't spend so much for weapons,we can't afford it
Most of the Italian media don't dare to say: we shouldn't spend so much for weapons,we can't afford it
4. I'm not just scared by my government which will increase #MilitarySpending in the middle of a devastating economic crisis, I'm also scared by most of the Italian media which doesn't dare to defend the Public Welfare and say: we shouldn't spend so much for weapons
5. as a journalist,I feel the duty to speak out against my government which increases #MilitarySpending dramatically as millions live in poverty and our #HealthSystem is in ruin, and also against a media system which NO longer defends the Public Welfare,as #Pulitzer recommended
