Kanye West's attempt to rebuild his career and reputation is not yielding the expected results, at least in Europe. After two sold-out concerts in California, Ye was expected to begin a series of dates in the Old Continent, starting from the United Kingdom. There he was scheduled to perform at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park. His appearance, however, was cancelled due to a heated debate that included British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "He should never have been invited", remarked the Downing Street resident. West, a self-proclaimed "Nazi", sold T-shirts with swastikas and made anti-Jewish and anti-woman statements. Later, he attempted to retrace his steps, claiming that he had suffered severe brain damage in an accident and that he had bipolar disorder. Conditions that would form the foundation of his behavior. The debate is now set to spread to Italy. West should perform on July 18 at the RCF Arena in Reggio-Emilia. "We have already said in the past that West should not come to Reggio", said Anna Ferrari, head of ANPI Reggio Emilia. The group was created by partisans who participated in the Italian resistance against the Nazi-Fascist occupation during World War II, and it still brings together over 100,000 people who identify with the Resistance's beliefs. Aldo Cervi, whose father was killed by fascists in 1943, has no doubts: "Someone who goes around with swastikas shouldn't be allowed to perform anywhere".
