Italian Becomes National Language of Italy: Moonbats Outraged
Italian is now the official language of Italy, despite the objections of 75 members of parliament who voted against establishing the language in the country's constitution because they disapprove of such cultural imperialism.
Federico Bricolo screeched that his language is Venetian, not Italian. But they cut his mike because he screeched it in Venetian, and only Italian is allowed before parliament.
Franco Russo of Italy's Communist party whined about Benito Mussolini's attempts to Italianize the country by force.
The change to the constitution is purely symbolic, but any European attempt to reassert cultural identity in the face of Islamic imperialism and suffocating moonbattery is welcome.

Not to worry.
Some fifth-tier EU administrator will issue a regulation reversing that decision.
(About all the parliaments of EU member "states" can do these days is to issue proclamations of European Potato Week and the like. Provided the secretariat approves, of course.)

As someone of Italiano descent, Calabrese to be exact, Federico Bricolo isn't a moonbat. He is trying to assert his cultural identity. Italians see their identity more as the region they are from rather than nationally. So, while he opposed the amendment he was taking what yo are applauding to its logical next level for an Italiano from Venezia.
