Pulled by a young woman who tore his shirt and also the chain around his neck.
This is what happened to the leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini shortly after his arrival in Pontassieve, one of the stages of his current electoral tour in the province of Florence.
Immediate intervention by the police who identified the young woman in a twenty-year-old native of Congo.
Investigations are underway on the girl by the police who speaks of a person "in an evident state of psycho-physical alteration".
The young woman, as explained, was among the audience that had gathered for the arrival of the leader of the League.
According to an initial reconstruction of the police headquarters, it would not have been a planned gesture.
According to what emerged from the first investigations, the young woman, who was returning home from work, would have found herself by chance among the supporters of the League who were around Salvini.
At this point he would take the opportunity to approach the leader of the League and grab him by the shirt.
The episode, the police always explain, would be completely detached from the protest demonstration against Salvini which is also underway in Pontassieve, in which a few dozen antagonists are participating.
