It is controversy over the opening on the first page of Libero, which today is titled "Calano turnover and GDP but gays increase" Di Maio: they will write idiocy without funds "Did we do well or not to cut the funds to such newspapers? without more than one euro of public funds. Vito Crimi has started the procedure that will cancel public funding within the next three years ". Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister Luigi Di Maio writes this on Instagram. Crimi: ignoble title, under examination for funds blockade "I feel disgust for the title of the newspaper Libero. A newspaper that receives public money that first publishes racist titles, then today also homophobic. I will immediately start an internal procedure to examine the possibility of blocking the supply of the residual funds due to a newspaper that offends the dignity of all Italians and hurts democracy.I expect that the journalism that sees the enemy in us so much, makes its voice heard, and probably some journalists will destroy the credibility of the press. "says Vito Crimi, undersecretary with responsibility for publishing. Zan (Pd): Felt desperate The title of Libero "is ignoble, because Feltri is probably a desperate director for the collapse of sales and uses these titles, which are false, because homosexuals like hetero don't want to increase or decrease, sexual orientation is a condition of the human being ". This was stated by Alessandro Zan, deputy of the Democratic Party and LGBT activist, to the Agi. "If anything, today Italian gays and lesbians declare themselves in the workplace, with friends, in the family and this is the prerequisite for being happy like everyone else. The article, which was well written, by a serious journalist is he was actually ridiculed and totally mystified by a newspaper headline that tells the intellectual quality of those who manage that newspaper ". Felt: ridiculous criticism, not a line against gays "We have simply taken a picture of Italy: that turnover and GDP is a given and that gays also increase. Between the first and second sentence there is we have put them together only because it is a photograph of two Italian phenomena: where is the problem? I cannot understand. They are ridiculous criticisms. I am amazed, even if I imagined this mess knowing certain mechanisms. " This is how Vittorio Feltri, Libero's editorial director, responds to criticism against the opening title of today's newspaper. "There is not a line against gays in my newspaper - Feltri says to Ansa -. We gay people do not care, it would be absurd that there was hostility towards them. The problem is that none of those who attack us he read the articles on the subject, which are very respectful. We just look at the title ... but they are the usual ones to intervene. It is not a judgment, but a prejudice ". To the affirmations of the undersecretary Vito Crimi, on the cut of the public funds to the daily paper, Feltri replies: "We are not the ones who kill democracy, we have simply taken a picture. They are the ones who would like to silence us and democracy without free press does not exist". The journalist also attacks the Order of Journalists who made a report to the Disciplinary Board against the director of Libero, Pietro Senaldi: "It is normal, we have an Order that is not superfluous, but harmful and does nothing but go against the members - Feltri continues -, but it is something that does not need to be justified. I do not see how Senaldi can be condemned for such a thing ".
