" The choice of the authors of the cartoon Peppa Pig to insert a character with two mothers is unacceptable . Once again the politically correct has struck and our children are the ones who pay the price." With these words Federico Mollicone, head of culture at Fratelli d ' Italy , took a stand against the famous English cartoon for children, also broadcast in Italy, whose authors have decided to create a new character whose parents are two women.
Mollicone also asked Rai "which buys the rights to the Peppa Pig series in Italy with the license of all Italians, not to broadcast the episode in question on any channel or web platform ".
On the same wavelength, the Pro Vita Famiglia non-profit association which launched an online petition to also order Rai not to broadcast "gay cartoons for children" .
Requests that aroused reactions also in the center-left. Ironic was the deputy Pd Alessandro Zan , promoter of the law against homotransphobia, according to which "a new enemy is besieging the nation: Peppa Pig".
That "rainbow families exist, and that all their rights must be recognized", warns Nicola Fratoianni of the Green-Left Alliance, the right has to make a point of saying it is ready to suggest "to Meloni to eliminate Qui Quo Qua , the three grandchildren who grow up with Donald Duck. Or Masha, who even grows up with the Bear ".
Finally Enrico Letta , who polemically asked on social media, addressed to Giorgia Meloni : "So Peppa Pig should be censored and the video of the woman raped in Piacenza should be relaunched without limits?".
Meloni herself also said in the controversy: "Peppa Pig is a cartoon they look at
on average three-year-olds. These are matters that families should handle . This I have always thought and this I continue to think. Otherwise there is the risk of wanting to impose concepts that it is a bit early to metabolize. There are no famous phobias that some believe. "
