Fratelli d'Italia warns Egyptian Museum director: once in government changes in appointment roles

The controversy between Fratelli d’Italia and the director of the Egyptian Museum, Christian Greco, has not subsided. In a note issued today by Federico Mollicone, national head of the party led by Giorgia Meloni, who was the protagonist of a heated confrontation last Thursday with the director, a warning is issued to Christian Greco that almost has the flavor of a threat. “Those years of single-minded thinking and compliant hatred, thank God, are over,” the statement reads. “Criticizing the management policy of a public cultural institution, as Giorgia Meloni did in a civil manner in front of the Egyptian Museum, is and must be absolutely possible in a free nation.”

Fratelli d’Italia did not exactly like the Fortunato chi parla arabo initiative, which for the past two years has been granting free admission for every two entries to all citizens who speak Arabic: “The communication campaign made by the Museum in Arabic, in fact, complete with a visual depicting a couple with the veiled woman, beyond its temporary duration, is a symptom of the disease of the West. A weak thinking that destroys its own history and identity in favor of others. An ideological and anti-Italian initiative.” The communiqué ends with a direct warning to Christian Greco: “let the director Greco and the drafters of the anachronistic appeal rest assured: once in government, Fratelli d’Italia will implement one of the qualifying points of its cultural program, which provides for an automatic spoil system at the change of the Minister of Culture for all appointment roles, so as to guarantee transparency and merit, not ideological affiliation.”

The editorial staff of Finestre Sull’Arte expresses full solidarity with Christian Greco for the attacks that his person and the museum he directs are receiving these days.
