'Hate hate' by Walter Veltroni arrives

(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 25 - WALTER VELTRONI, HATE HATE (RIZZOLI, PP 120, EURO 10) The new book by Walter Veltroni, 'Hate hatred', published by Rizzoli, will arrive in bookstores on March 10. From the great persecutions of the twentieth century to the violence on social networks, the tragic consequences of a disease of our time are told in a journey into the universe of that hatred that upsets human consciences and relationships.
The pamphlet starts from a past to which we must prevent returning - the Fascist twenty years, the years of lead - to arrive at a difficult present marked by a less than happy degrowth, by the lack of prospects for young people in a country of old, by the fear of a future in which the machines will work and the tech-financial giants will accumulate profits.
"Franklin Delano Roosevelt said that the only thing you need to be afraid of is fear. Today the only thing you need to hate is hatred" reminds us Veltroni, who was director of the Unit, vice president of the Council, mayor of Rome, secretary of the Democratic Party, premier candidate for the 2008 political elections and author of numerous books including 'When Berlinguer was there', which became a film, 'Rome' and 'Fabrizio De André & PFM. The concert found '.
On the breeding ground of a hatred fueled and amplified by social media, words become stones to strike, not solometaphorically, those who are different, weak, those who appear as unaminaccia or like a scapegoat. Hate seems like an outlet, but in truth it makes us slaves, prevents us from understanding reality, makes us feel more alone and unhappy. And foster democracy. Those who sow hatred and fear must respond with the language of reason and hope. "If we hate hatred we will find the right words, then freedom will have a future. And in the future there will be freedom" is stressed in the pamphlet. (HANDLE).
