The first to hope early in the morning for "a great national demonstration" by everyone for the death of Aleksej Navalny, "to stop Putin's regime that killed him" is the dem senator Filippo Sensi.

It is a pebble that rolls down and becomes an avalanche, it becomes the united torchlight procession that will light up the square of the Roman Capitol on Monday at sunset, like a thousand squares in the world and in Russia itself.


    Carlo Calenda's First Action, rolls initiative on X.

Then one by one all the political forces join together, without exception.

Elly Schlein, who says "the Democratic Party is there".

Brothers of Italy, Forza Italia and Noi moderates, who will go to the torchlight procession without flags to honor the tragic death of Navalny.

And then again Giuseppe Conte's M5s, Avs and the Renzians of Italia Viva, who pride themselves on remembering that they started demonstrating with Più Europa yesterday, in front of the Russian embassy.

Matteo Salvini's League, which is the last to join, will also light candles to honor the heroism of the Russian dissident, and in the meantime is trying to silence the secretary of Action Calenda with a complaint.


    "The Putinists of Italy are those who pretend not to see after the murder of Navalny, because it is murder, because a walk at minus 50 degrees is murder, yesterday a certain Crippa from the League said: we still don't know anything. But who could it have been, Leg Leg?", Calenda said in the morning, pointing the finger at the Northern League deputy secretary, as did several political exponents yesterday.

We immediately defined the disappearance as "disconcerting" and asked to shed "full light", the immediate response from Salvini's party.

"Yes, but @matteosalvinimi sue me seriously, not like Landini who just threatens him. So we can have a nice discussion on the ties between the League and Putin. I'll wait for you", Calenda replies scathingly.

CISL and UIL immediately joined the torchlight procession launched by Calenda and in the evening also CGIL, while Putin is under accusation all over the world and consciences are being questioned.


    Added to the squares that have been spontaneously demonstrating for Navalny since yesterday is the capital of Rome.

"It is appropriate for the pro-European and democratic political forces to promote a joint initiative on Monday afternoon in Rome when parliamentary work resumes", calls Calenda to arms.

"We are here. To counter a regime that kills dissent and freedom, in solidarity with those who are arrested in Russia today because they dissent from Putin", Schlein responds first, followed by all the political forces, present with at least one delegation , and by the unions.


    Meanwhile, the case of the dem deputy Lia Quartapelle is mounting,


    "I express solidarity with the Honorable Lia Quartapelle - the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Lorenzo Fontana, intervenes definitively - What the Russian embassy defines as 'creativity' corresponds instead to the prerogative of a parliamentarian from a free and democratic country like Italy which does not can and must not be questioned."


    Quartapelle thanks and tells the rosary of solidarity that multiplies after the words of the president of Montecitorio.

The League's statement is significant: "We express solidarity with our colleague Lia Quartapelle who was attacked by the Russian embassy for her parliamentary question. Italy is a free country where a representative of the people has the right and duty to exercise his functions. Let no one touch ours democracy".
