The storm over the case of General Roberto Vannacci does not subside, after the publication of his book "Il Mondo al Contrario" , containing homophobic insults and attacks on feminism, environmentalism and illegal immigrants.
« I have not heard from Minister Crosetto , I have read his declarations in the newspapers . And I have not received any notice of action. I have been replaced since midnight today, I have not been removed from my post," Vannacci explained to "Morning News" on Canale 5. The reference is to the former position of head of the Military Geographic Institute and after the controversies that arose around his book. "However, at the end of this possible disciplinary measure, we will see the facts that have been charged to me and what the charges are", added the general who, returning to some sentences from his book - he explains - "I have not offended anyone, I have not discriminated against anyone . Speaking of normality, for example, I am referring to custom and I am referring to statistical data: 90% of the population is heterosexual, not being heterosexual means being part of a minority».
Then the conviction leaves room for reflection, without mentioning any step back. Perhaps, he concluded, « my opinions are questionable but not offensive . I defy anyone to find offensive or discriminatory attitudes with homosexuals whom I may have been employed by.
