Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
So no freedom of speech?
“Free speech bro’s would kindly request that all free speech is fully aligned with the party policies… thank you”
You’re free to be super duper racist, sexist, ableist, pretty much any kind of discrimination you want. Isn’t that enough?
No, I want talking shit about governments without government punishment. Ya know, freedom of speech

In other words the law is only enforced if you piss off the wrong people. Great system.

Not if it means I have to trade away my right to criticize the government.
Yeah, wtf?
In a democratic state it is imperative that the population is free to criticize their government.
What is the EU saying about this? Don’t they have demands on member states to uphold democratic values?
