In Turin the pro-Palestine march organized by Social Centers, Coordination for Gaza, Student Collectives, Si Cobas and Cub flows by and some demonstrators stop to set fire to a blow-up of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and another of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The first to call as a sign of closeness to Meloni was the president of the Senate
Ignazio La Russa, without hiding from her that he was very disappointed by the lack of solidarity on the part of the opposition forces,
who yesterday and today did not condemn the serious words of the governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca against the Prime Minister.
"Respect for institutions must go beyond political affiliations", is La Russa's thought.
Solidarity also comes
from the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Lorenzo Fontana,
in a note that says.
"the expression of opinions must not transform into messages of hatred and violence".
And on behalf of the Brothers of Italy group in the Chamber, the group leader Tommaso Foti is indignant and stands in solidarity with the prime minister
"for the continuous violence that she is forced to suffer. Most recently today in Turin, on the occasion of a pro-Palestine march A dangerous drift of violence which is no longer tolerable in any way and which goes beyond the limits of legality and civil political confrontation. We hope for a clear stance on the part of the entire political world, first of all the mayor of Turin
and the secretary of the Democratic Party Schlein, because looking the other way is equally a sin.

We hope that those responsible for this gesture will soon be identified to answer for these deplorable actions in the competent bodies". "In addition to the institutions, I hope that a concrete action will be taken by the opposition in Parliament, which nevertheless governs the city", states the deputy group leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Chamber, Augusta Montaruli, pointing the finger at "a lax policy of the Turin left towards these most extreme fringes which are caressed by concessions of buildings and by the minimization of such vile acts". "The time has come to call these characters no longer protesters, but thugs prone to criminal behavior and recognize them as such.
I expect a firm and unequivocal condemnation and distancing from the left even in institutional places.
If they remain silent, the credibility of the Pd, M5s and the like will be definitively buried by the ad personam use of the word 'democracy' and the non-existence of respect for the political opponent", says Senator Cinzia Pellegrino, national coordinator of the Victims Department of the Brothers of 'Italy.
"Everything divides me from Giorgia Meloni and FdI.
But between opponents the first thing is respect
.
And the unhesitating condemnation of aggression, insults and hatred is part of this mutual respect.
My solidarity, personal, human, political",
writes Democratic Party senator Filippo Sensi on social media in the evening, while Lega senator Claudio Borghi calls for "zero tolerance towards those who fuel the culture of hatred".
