Politico is framing the celebration of Christmas as a “far-right” front in Europe, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her party have made it a “spectacle.”
Conservative social media users blasted the left-wing outlet’s Wednesday article, “How the far right stole Christmas,” authored by Rome correspondent Hannah Roberts. […]

The evidence?: Meloni’s defense of public Nativity scenes and other long-standing Christmas traditions in her majority-Catholic country.

What a stupid and despicable opinion, Hannah Roberts...
May Befana bring you coal and Santa put a big black boot up your arse.
How do they feel about Ramadan?
These nitwits don't realize it, but they have just made a powerful argument in favor of the 'Far-Right'!
Keep it up!
Give those folks a megaphone!
Keep 'em talking!
“Politico Frames European Christmas Celebrations as ‘Far-Right Spectacle’”

Attempts by people like Hannah Roberts, writer for Politico. Attempts by the far left to dilute or destroy 1500 year old traditions.
