He had planned to dedicate the first 2021 quote of this column to a ranking of the worst examples of stubbornness from last year. So that great tragedy of Frassilongo where an Ethiopian lady, a symbol of welcome and integration, was assassinated. That’s why Gudeta does it he had created a farm, sold goat cheese, helped migrants. He had also suffered racist threats. His death is a horror, like all crimes. But the reaction to the news of his death sums up not a few tic radical elegance that is worth counting.

As soon as it is discovered that Gudeta’s body was found lifeless in his home in Trentino, the unconfirmed thought and story focuses on the “threats racist”Reported by the 43-year-old Ethiopian in the past. The opportunity is tempting: a woman, a refugee, an entrepreneur, victim of xenophobic attacks and also dies “shepherdess(With the final “a” of the radical ordinance). All the ingredients are there to mount the story politically. Let’s go back to the article published on Wednesday by Republic, oracle of radical elegance. The problem of women, says the newspaper, in the last two years they had become neighbors: “They insult me, they call me ugly black, they say I have to go and that this is not my place,” he had informed the carabinieri. The court ruled and sentenced a local man to 9 months for injuries. The man in question, who has always denied racist prejudices, right after the murder thought correctly about avoiding the accusations: I have nothing to do with his death, “despite my personal experience.” The carabinieri, in fact, have no certainty about the matrix of the murder. But Republic headline: “He killed the refugee integration icon: he had denounced racist threats ”. As if to say: I smell xenophobic crime.

as well Mimma Dardano, leader of the Nardella list for Florence City Council, interprets the traces of history in his own way. And on Facebook he gets carried away by a long outburst: “ignoble gestures are consumed in our ‘free’ and ‘democratic’ country, where inclusion and skin color are still scary – she writes – Agitu was a successful entrepreneur but what black and this in one of the many Italian regions where, thanks to a policy of intolerance of the right and the League, for some it was not admissible. “The message is clear: the fault of the (alleged) dextroid racism. And instead?

And instead the confessed murderer of the owner of “The happy goat” is a Ghanaian. Having landed in Italy in 2015, Adams Suleimani, 32, was hired by Gudeta as a pastor. A job, a place to live, a salary. Not bad. However, due to a late monthly payment, the immigrant struck her with a hammer and then abused her as she lay dying on the ground. In less than 24 hours it collapses track xenophobic. Republic she must admit, almost sorry for the end of what “might have looked like a racist story” and is “actually femicide.” I have it? Even Dardano, in the end, had to apologize using the classic formula of “obviously I was misunderstood.” But anyway: history already seen.

Ticks radical elegance Always looking for the xenophobic motive, in fact, did not arise with the horrible death of Gudeta. Do you remember the eggs that were thrown at the black Italian athlete? For days there was talk of a bad country close to very fascist laws (Salvini was in the Viminale), blinded by the hatred and racism of the Northern League, and instead targeting young people Daisy osakue they had been three fools led by the son of an exponent of Pd. So there are no racist eggs, just as today there is no xenophobic murderer. THE radical elegance if they will have to give a reason. And maybe wait a bit before pointing your finger. In the meantime, we wish you a happy new year too.
