«Red ticks, communists, criminals, social center criminals. I don’t know, define them however you want, but what we saw yesterday in Bologna and Milan is something unworthy, shameful and should never be repeated.” League leader Matteo Salvini states this in a video posted on social media. “The police hunt for red criminals in Bologna or the hunt for Jews by red criminals in Milan are shameful scenes for 2024,” he adds. “Close social centers illegally occupied by communists that are meeting places for criminals. We must do this, because it is one thing to demonstrate, it is another thing to stone the police or hunt down the Jew”, reiterates Salvini. «In the free and democratic Italy of 2024, these scenes can no longer be seen», he concludes.
Announcement that appears the day after the clashes in Milan and Bologna. And on the day of statements by the Mayor of Bologna, Matteo Lepore, who points the finger at the CasaPound marches: «I wonder how it is possible that, once again, Bologna is not respected: tomorrow President Meloni will be in the city, They sent us 300 black shirts, but we still want to ask for resources for the floods.” This is a frontal attack on the executive by the representative of the Democratic Party, commenting on what happened yesterday in Bologna, where protesters present in a procession invaded the police, provoking violent clashes. «The main government ministers and the prime minister came to Emilia-Romagna in these three days. The ‘Patriots’ from CasaPound arrived exactly in the middle. of the Interior must explain this to the city of Bologna”, he concluded.
«But is Lepore serious? The mayor of Bologna vents and talks about the black shirts, but does not even deign to express solidarity with the police forces attacked yesterday by the anti-fascist procession. Is violence only intolerable if it comes from the right? Think about not letting the city you manage submerge and the real problems of the Bolognese, if you are able”, declares Emilian, member of the League Davide Bergamini.
