Minister Giuli: “I have right-wing pedigree”

“The monsterification process towards me was easybecause he dislikes you in an instant. For example on Celtic rites. The last thing they said to me was ‘Is it true that you eat raw liver?’. It’s something Salafists do after quartering infidels. I am a scholar, a lover of religious rites”. Thus the Minister of Culture, Alessandro Giuli, conversing with Pietro Senaldi at the Fdi convention in Brucoli (Syracuse).

“Why did I become right-wing? It was natural. It was in the pedigree. I had a monarchist grandfather and on my paternal side a grandfather who made the March on Rome, who brought the family to Salò. And also a father who worked in the social right union, in short the whole pedigree”, said Giuli.

“There are those who want to talk about my tattoos and I want to make a perhaps necessary clarification, when the usual antipathizers say ‘he has a fascist eagle’ and then it takes a moment to say he likes ancient Rome so he is a follower of Mussolinism. It’s the reproduction of a sign from the first century AD – he explained – Or one gets it into his head to carry out a raid to reconstitute the fascist party from Augustus to the entire Julio-Claudian dynasty and then it’s fine, but it’s a bit complicated to pass it off as a fascist eagle, dystopia is fine, but a coin from the first century remains.”

“The mission of the Ministry of Culture is not, and never has been, to represent Right-wing culture. He proudly represents Italian culture, in Italy and in the world, in all its aspects – he underlined – It is obvious that for many years a dust has settled, a blanket of silence, of mistrust, because the history of the so-called Catholic-communism Italian movement meant that the division of spheres of influence allowed a large part of the left-wing ruling classes to occupy strategic positions when the DC occupied strategic positions of power. But this belongs to the past. The logic of resentment? Even enough. There is nothing to complain about but to be equipped.”
