Ermal Meta is of the opinion that there is a lot of work to be done for civil rights and the family. In an interview with Corriere Della Sera, the singer focused on the example of his family.
Asked about one of the recent events in Italy - where the senate repealed a bill that would make violence against LGBT people and people with disabilities, as well as misogyny, a hate crime - Meta focused on a difficult childhood.
According to far-right parties that voted against the bill, the law would have suppressed freedom of expression and promoted "homosexual propaganda" in schools.
"There is still a lot to do for civil rights, some characters have said a lot of nonsense. Why, I have no idea. "Families may or may not be traditional," said the singer.
He then added:
"What is needed is love: I had a traditional family that was terrible. My father was not a good man, I would have preferred a thousand times something different. So think of abused children or women who suffer violence. ”
This is not the first time that Ermal Meta speaks publicly about the difficult relationship with his father and the violence exercised by him, which has damaged his childhood.
In 2018, Meta won the Sanremo Festival in collaboration with Fabrizio Moro with the song "Non mi avete fatto niente" (You did nothing to me), which basically talks about terrorism, but the first time he sang it, the singer Albanian has thought about his painful childhood.
"When I first sang it, my childhood came to mind. "I wanted to sing, 'Bastard, you did nothing to me.'
A report such he has been reflected in the songs "Lettera a mio padre" or "Vietato morire." At first his father is portrayed as monster and their report indicated more obscure, while the second indicated that the victim of violence family, it was exactly Ermali.
