Carlo Rovelli attacks Defense Minister Guido Crosetto from the stage of the Concertone on May 1st.
The physicist was the protagonist of one of the most discussed speeches of the evening in Piazza San Giovanni, railing against military spending and the "marketers of instruments of war" who build instruments of death "to kill each other".
"We are heading towards a war that is growing and instead of looking for solutions, countries challenge each other, invade, fan the flames of war and international tension has never been as high as it is now", said the science communicator who then pointed his finger against Minister Crosetto, former president of the Federation of Italian companies for aerospace, defense and security: " In Italy, the defense minister was very close to one of the largest arms factories in the world, Leonardo ".
“There is no censorship here. I'm sorry that since it's not a political debate, when someone is attacked, as in Professor Rovelli's speech, there should be a debate that didn't exist", the presenter Ambra then specified.
Crosetto replied on the pages of Corriere della Sera: being called a "death salesman" «hurt me, of course, as can happen all the times when people speak without knowing. I would never talk about physics and he can't talk about things he knows nothing about.' However "a totally ridiculous accusation, this government works for peace and I hope that he, who calls himself a pacifist, is not for the Russians".
Then the proposal: an invitation to eat together to talk about it . «I really appreciate the courtesy of the Minister of Defence, and his kind invitation and I thank him – Rovelli replied -. But the question I raised in my speech on May Day is not personal between him and me. It is politics, it concerns the future of all of us, and I would like it to be discussed in the country, not over dinner for two ».
