The Italians have largely voted for a party that vowed to protect their culture. Perhaps the resulting laws are shitty for you, but likely not for the majority of Italians.
Meanwhile, they support a move that is incredibly anti-free market and stomps on the right to do business in the name of virtue signalling bullshit.
What is “a law formed on ‘culture’” if not entirely virtue signalling? I thought you guys said that virtue signalling was bad?
And yes, that is a pro free market move, because the only thing they say is: you can call your alternative product whatever you want and you may sell it as well, but do not try to confuse customers with historical naming that do not represent what your product is. Vegans/vegetarians are in general for an outright ban of those products, so basically authoritarian fascist behavior; but as always, it's the most tolerant called on his behavior and somehow it is found problematic that it is forbidden to lie on products packaging...
Right now we find ourselves far from any equilibrium points: just an awkward heavily polarized in-between. I hope we can find the next equilibrium without a global civil war.
PS: Not sure if "you guys" goes for me, I'm merely an observer. I'm not even Italian.
