Images of the clashes in Naples are circulating on social media. While the fans of Eintracht Frankfurt, in Campania for tonight’s match in Maradona, despite the ban on ticket sales, left Piazza del Gesù on board ANM buses, escorted by armored vehicles, after clashes with the forces of ‘order . The historic center of Naples, in recent hours, has been the theater of the guerrillas unleashed by supporters of the German team who arrived at the end of a long procession that crossed the seafront. In Calata Trinità Maggiore, moments of tension with the throwing of objects, including some rubbish bins, by fans against the forces of order mobilized to avoid contact with ultra Neapolitan groups. A police car was set on fire, tables in bars in the area where the clashes took place were destroyed. The Germans returned to the hotel on the seafront in Caracciolo, where they have been staying since last night, when they arrived in Naples. The entire area is guarded by police with armored vehicles.
The guerrilla warfare has also rocked the world of politics, with League sources going on the attack: “May the German government pay for the damage. Minister Piantedosi was right to ask to ban these bandits from traveling”. The statements by the Deputy Leader of the Democratic Party in the Chamber, Piero De Luca, and Deputy Marco Sarracino, are of a different tone: “The images of the clashes caused by Eintracht Frankfurt fans in Naples are unacceptable. A city hostage to violent people who seriously endanger the safety of citizens and security forces, to whom we offer all our solidarity. We invite Minister Piantedosi to report to Parliament to clarify what happened and what did not work”.
