Laura Pausini, social storm for the no to ‘Bella Ciao’

Appreciation, insults and a lot of irony. Laura Pausini is at the center of a storm of comments on her social networks about her refusal to sing ‘Bella Ciao’ on a Spanish television program “because it is a political song”. The name of the singer from Romagna is first in Twitter trends for thousands of quotes and comments. Former PD MP Anna Paola Concia notes: “Now the problem is Laura Pausini who doesn’t sing Bella Ciao. Really? Trendy? Haven’t your bills arrived yet?” Read also After the attestation of esteem received by Matteo Salvini, Pausini receives the applause of the journalist founder of centro-destra.it Giorgio La Porta defends the artist: “Laura Pausini’s fault is not not having sung Bella Ciao, but of never having had to beg for success on the left at the Concertone of May 1st, at the Unity parties and so on. It is the difference between who is good and who is servant … Come on Laura and W freedom! ” On Laura’s side is also the journalist of the Century of Italy Hoara Borselli: “Laura Pausini in the pillory for not having sung Bella Ciao in a Spanish show. The horrified left cannot understand how there can be a non-politicized artist who doesn’t you insult the right wing or the Meloni. Instead it exists and Laura has shown it. Great! “Appreciation is also tweeted by the account ‘Il Patriota’:” Laura Pausini refuses to sing Bella Ciao live on TV in Spain. Finally also in the world of art someone begins to oppose the cultural dictatorship of the left “. Many comments of opposite sign: “Bella Ciao is not a political song. It is a song of resistance and freedom of a people against the invader. It is a hymn of freedom against oppression. Choosing not to sing it is a political choice” . “Laura Pausini reminds me of those who say that I am neither from the right nor from the left and, in general, I am from the right”, writes another Internet user. “Abroad they see Bella Ciao for what it is, a liberation song. It is ‘divisive’ or ‘political’ only if you are a fascist, because it divides into fascists and anti-fascists,” points out another tweet. Someone mentions the singer who says “I don’t want anyone to use me for political propaganda”, then attaches Salvini’s statement of esteem and comments: “Here, however, there is someone who is using you precisely to make political propaganda. Now, for consistency, we also expect your clear stance against Salvini, because you will take it right? ” “She did not want to be used. And instead the image shot is very hard. Because that she is good it is a fact that she has made a figure of mer .. well. Sometimes it is better to admit it and apologize”, writes Giuseppe Candela, journalist of Dagospia and the website of the Fatto Quotidiano. And again, someone cites a previous intervention by the artist: “Laura Pausini refuses to sing Bella Ciao because it is ‘Too political’. When instead she wrote ‘Talk to us about Bibbiano’ she didn’t want to attack the Democratic Party, right?” of the first hours they are Laura’s colleagues. No singer at the moment has decided to comment, at least publicly. While many ordinary citizens resort to irony: “Now who tells Povia that the new icon of the right is Laura Pausini?”, Writes a user. “I don’t sing ‘The Cannon Woman’ because I’m against guns,” jokes another.
