Moments of panic for Giuseppe Conte, attacked by a novax in Massa, where he is at an election rally. Upon arriving at the square, the leader of the 5 Star Movement began to greet the crowd that gathered. The no-vax, as Adnkronos reports, approaching and pretending to want to shake his hand, then hit him in the face, starting to protest against the containment and protection measures introduced during the pandemic emergency. Promptly removed from the police, he was the target of shouts and insults from citizens who then greeted Conte with applause and shouts «Conte! Like you!”.
However, Conte took the floor shortly after the attack: “When you assume governmental responsibility, you make difficult decisions in times of great difficulty for the whole country, as happened during the pandemic. You cannot please everyone, although you work for the good of all. The gentleman who attacked me, who is a convinced novax, demonstrated with his violent gesture that this type of skidding is done by irresponsible people. If we had followed his instructions, we would probably be a completely destroyed community today. Dissidence is legitimate, but this violent demonstration goes beyond the democratic context”.
