Former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema has sparked a major debate in Italy after he was present at the Beijing military parade today with Chinese leaders Xi and Russian Putin.
A "serious" incident, said the head of Azione, Carlo Calenda, commenting on a video published on X containing an interview with the former secretary of the PDS on Chinese television.
"D'Alema will pay homage to Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping. While young people are dying in Ukraine defending their freedom and ours. A real 'Salvini-level' piece ," writes Calenda in X, reports " Corriere Della Sera "
In the interview published on social media, D'Alema, in Beijing, recalls the power of a heroic struggle like that of the Chinese people, so important not only for China, but for all of humanity in defeating Nazism and fascism.
"We are living in a difficult time for international relations. I hope and believe that Beijing will send a message of peace, cooperation, the restoration of the spirit of friendship between all peoples and the end of the wars that unfortunately bloodyly divide the countries of the world ," said D'Alema.
Twenty-three heads of state and government were invited to the event, organized to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Japanese occupation of China, including Russia's Vladimir Putin, North Korea's Kim Jong-un, Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian, Belarus' Alexander Lukashenko and Burmese military junta leader Min Aung Hlaing.
Last week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China announced D'Alema's participation in the ceremony, along with that of other former statesmen from other countries.
"While China is working to prepare a new world order alternative to the liberal West, with the deployment of cutting-edge weapons that parade before the eyes of some of the world's worst autocrats and dictators, Massimo D'Alema is demonstrating in Beijing. I am speechless", commented in X Senator Ivan Scalfarotto, head of foreign affairs for Italia Viva.
Alessandro Cattaneo, a Forza Italia MP, said he was shocked and speechless. " We understand and appreciate that his heart still beats there, but for a former prime minister to attend an event like this is proof that the left can now be pro-European and anti-European in the space of a single waltz."
