“The video aired in France during a Canal + broadcast is shameful and creepy.
Faced with the moment of crisis and difficulties that not only our country but the whole of Europe is facing, the media and television should inform citizens, telling the truth. That would be enough. Instead, we choose to denigrate an entire country. This is not satire, it is an offense to an entire nation, it is an obvious mystification of the facts. It is populism made an image. Fake news is broadcast to spread fear, divide, create barriers but also legitimize unfair competition. We are not there. And the coronavirus, as reiterated several times by the European and international authorities, is not transmitted through food. Our products are safe, of the highest quality, and certified by the checks we carry out every day, among the most stringent in the world. I activated the diplomatic channels to report the content broadcast and understand its genesis and scope. In the meantime, I expect Canal + to withdraw it immediately and apologize. Not with me, but with the 60 million Italian citizens, workers, entrepreneurs, producers, who, with their disgusting video, were offended ”. Thus the Minister Teresa Bellanova on facebook.
