Rome, 7 November 2021 – Vincenzo Spadafora comes out. The voice broken by emotion, and then the words to tell about homosexuality during the broadcast ‘Che tempo che fa’. A passage from his book, ‘Without reservations’, concerns, explains Fabio Fazio, the homosexuality of the M5S deputy. “I think that people’s private lives should remain that way – says the former minister – and if we were a more culturally advanced country, especially on the issue of rights, perhaps we wouldn’t even have addressed the debates of these weeks. that those who have a public, political role like mine, in this historical moment, have what more responsibility “.
“I did it, I must say, also for myself, because I learned, perhaps very late, that it is very important to love each other and above all to respect each other”, he continues. “Then there are two reasons …”, and here the emotion takes over for a moment, it is not hidden from the cameras but quickly dominated. “I care – continues Spadafora – a motivation is very political, this is also a way for me to testify to my political commitment. For all those who every day – he claims – they fight for their rights and they have less chance of doing it than I have thanks to my work. “
Spadafora also wants to mark his Catholic faith as a factor “not in contradiction” and closes with a personal notation: “This theme in politics is unfortunately still used to hurt the opponent, for that background buzz sometimes very bleak and that I have suffered too. Tonight I wanted to turn off this buzz – he underlines – knowing that I remain the man I am, with all the path, even complicated, personal, that each of us makes in his life, for whatever reason. And of which we must have a lot of respect. “” I hope to be considered from tomorrow for what I do, for how I do it, the same man as always. Maybe from tomorrow – it’s the farewell, with a more relaxed smile now, from the Rai3 studio – I’ll be just a little bit happier. Because I will also be freer “.
