Italian MEP Alessandra Mussolini claims to have been attacked in Strasbourg. The alleged perpetrator would be a compatriot who recognized her.

The elected official, however, indicated to AFP that she did not intend to file a complaint. “This story should be forgotten, but from evil always comes good,” she said. Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani, denounced “a vile aggression”. Alessandra. Mussolini is the granddaughter of the man who led the Italian fascist regime from 1922 until his execution by partisans in 1945.
