In an interview on La7’s In Onda, Senator for Life Liliana Segre expressed her concern about the recent rise of extreme ideologies and hate speech in Italian politics. She believes that these drifts, or movements, have been present all along, hidden and not displayed until now. With this government, she said, they are taking advantage of the great power of the right, which was voted and went to government.
Segre also spoke about her personal experience of being forced out of her country due to intolerance, which serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of allowing such ideologies to gain traction. She asked if at her age, she will have to see this again and be kicked out of her country once more.
The journalist observed that Segre’s question is provocative and that she responded by saying it is an answer. This exchange highlights the urgency with which individuals like Segre are responding to the rise of hatred and extremism in society. By speaking out and bringing attention to these issues, they hope to prevent history from repeating itself.
The interview with Segre emphasizes the need for vigilance and action in combating hate speech and discriminatory behavior. As she reflects on her own experiences, she emphasizes the importance of standing up against intolerance and ensuring that history does not repeat itself.
