> like forcing us to eat worms instead of pasta
Nobody is "forcing" you to anything. That's misrepresenting reality to a degree that's not even funny had you used /s tags.
Sorry, just a typo. I obviously would like to say right wings.

It seems that you don't get my points: I am not saying that EU want to force anybody to eat worms, I am saying that right wings is saying so for propaganda.
This is happened just couple of days ago: https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2023/03/25/news/ambrosi_d... For not italian speakers: a representative from FdI (Meloni's party) said that left-wing is for eating worms and taking drugs, while left-wing people are enjoying good food and wine. Just to explain the level of Italian political debate.
Also, idk, maybe there is a much more right party I'd never heard of. Or like, I would describe the US as having a center-right party and a far-right party, could be a rhetorical choice like that.
Anyway thanks for the clarification.
The right-wing government won the election with few key promises: reject the immigrants coming by the sea with a naval block, a sort of victimhood against UE that want to "fight" Italian habits (like forcing us to eat worms instead of pasta), and penalize Italian companies (like force Italy to liberalize sectors like taxi licenses or bathhouse concessions). Right now, the situation with illegal immigration is out of control and we are approaching a new record in the arrives with many tragic wrecks; moreover UE is menacing Italy to get back the funds from NextGenerationUE because the government is not able to spend them on the right way and time.
So, as a populistic politician, what is the best solution to divert public opinion and keep consensus high? Talking about an attack on our traditions and our food.
It's just internal propaganda, nothing more by someone that would like to live in the 80s
