Molinari, 'the answer to intolerance is respect' - Last hour. Molinari proposed to meet the demonstrators to listen to their opinions on the war in the Middle East but received a refusal.

'Today, with great regret, I have chosen to renounce the conference scheduled at the Federico II University of Naples on Mediterranean issues, in consideration of the risks to public safety caused by a small group of demonstrators', he writes. 'However, I remain open to dialogue with them on any topic,' he adds.
