Another  ( expected) disaster....He once called in a speech "dear friends" the fascists of Greek group " Golden Dawn" and he, once minister for Family, said that for him "the only family possible  is one with a male father and a feminine mother"....Whatever beyond that is (in his mind) only crap, filth, trash.......

 

Between him and La Russa ( Senate speaker) it's hard to determine who is worse.....

 

And Gov't is not formed yet.......
