Roberto Salis arrived this evening on a RyanAir flight at Bergamo's Orio al Serio airport, returning from Budapest where his daughter Ilaria is detained on charges of attacking two far-right militants.
"She's a bit worn out, obviously, especially because of the hearing. She was - her father says - quite in difficulty because she was very emotional, she was emotionally very carried away. She was feeling a bit dizzy".
In prison "the interview went better because she was much better, she was more relaxed and she was also happy with what had happened on Monday; in short, she was more beautiful".
Have you read Salvini's statements? "I don't have time for these things" says Roberto Salis.
"Salvini said that her daughter should not teach, she wants to respond in some way," he was told.
"Do you think it's worth it?" replied Ilaria's father.
"I wish (Salvini's) daughter to have a tenth of my daughter's ethical values", he concluded.
"The crimes in question are serious, both in Hungary and internationally. The measures adopted in the proceedings are required by law and appropriate to the seriousness of the accusation of the crime committed."
Zoltan Kovacs, Viktor Orban's spokesperson, writes this on X on the case of Ilaria Salis.
"The credibility of Ilaria Salis is highly questionable, as demonstrated, among other things, by the false statements she made about her education, her family situation and her personal relationships, which later turned out to be false," he added .
"Left-wing media and human rights groups have launched an orchestrated attack on Hungary" aimed at "destroying good political relations" between Budapest and Rome" in the case of three foreign citizens accused of organized assault of alleged sympathizers of the far right", we read in a note from the Hungarian government, signed by Viktor Orban's spokesperson, which retraces the story of Ilaria Salis, Tobias Edelhoff and Anna Christina Mehwald.

"We are evaluating the possibility of immediately appealing to the European Court in Strasbourg for the violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which has already cost Hungary other sentences": this is what the lawyer Eugenio Losco, one of the Italian lawyers assisting
Ilaria Salis.

"In the meantime, let's move forward trying to understand what the government's commitment consists of to reach the goal of house arrest", concluded Losco.

Last June, Hungarian judges already rejected the request for the transfer of Ilaria Salis to house arrest in Italy
, made by the 39-year-old's lawyers.
The reason was the danger of escape.
From what we understand, the request could be re-evaluated only following a prior application of house arrest in Hungary, upon decision of the judges: only following this provision, therefore, could the possibility of applying the Council's framework decision be taken into consideration European Union for the mutual recognition of decisions on 'alternative measures to preventive detention'.
