The story of the forest family, in which a couple whose power over their three children was suspended by a L’Aquila court because they lived in a farmhouse without electricity in the Palmoli forest, in renamed Chieti, has divided politics. If important voices have been raised in the center-right galaxy in support of ecological and family-conscious lifestyle choices, then the left has found itself more or less subservient to a more legalistic interpretation.
Massimo Gramellini, guest of Giovanni Floris at Dimartedì on La7, underlines this precisely. “I am surprised by the left, I imagine that on this issue the left also has a more libertarian impulse, more sympathetic to the anti-capitalist choice, in some ways, of the couple”, explains the editorial from Corriere della Sera which is certainly not a right-winger. A choice, Palmoli’s choice, “however transgressive.” In short, the left seems to have lost interest in “flower children” and, Gramellini underlines, “it is automatic for them to always be on the side of the law, for the sake of order.”
