Controversial Italian Politician Vannacci Calls for Separate School Classes for Disabled Students, Sparking Debate

Roberto Vannacci, a controversial general and candidate for the ruling Lega party in the EU parliamentary elections, has been making headlines with his recent statements. In an interview with the daily newspaper “La Stampa” (Saturday edition), Vannacci called for the introduction of separate school classes for disabled students. He argued that separate classes for disabled students are not discriminatory and that students with disabilities should be entrusted to specialists.

Vannacci’s comments on fascist dictator Benito Mussolini have also been contentious, as he referred to him as a “statesman.” On the issue of migration, Vannacci emphasized the problem of illegal immigration and expressed his disbelief in a multicultural society. His views have sparked heated debates among Italians, with some warning of the danger of creating “ghetto classes” for the disabled while others argue that the goal of the Italian school system should be full integration of students with disabilities.

Despite his controversial views, Vannacci has gained attention for his openness about various societal issues. His statements on homosexuality and parenting have been particularly contentious, while his call for crucifixes in all classrooms has sparked debate about religion in education. As Italy continues to navigate its ongoing divisions, Vannacci’s words will continue to be a topic of discussion among Italians and beyond.
