"We all recognize that Russia today is unfortunately a dangerous imperialist dictatorship, and as all of us Italians, regardless of political inclination, care about democracy and freedom, we will reiterate this tomorrow afternoon at 6.30 pm in Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome".
This was said by Action leader Carlo Calenda, interviewed by Tgcom24, speaking about the torchlight procession in memory of Alexei Navalny.
"What happened after Navalny's death is equally atrocious, think of the mother who was told that the body was in an office in Putin's regime which suggests the possibility of doing anything. When a prisoner dies for political reasons for his ideas, the responsibility always lies with those who detain him, as President Mattarella said. Navalny was detained beyond the Arctic Circle, the reconstructions that make on the walk they are a bit ridiculous, they are those of every dictatorship. We will reiterate that Italy and Europe are something else, they are founded on democracy and freedom and will not bow to the Russian threat."
"The unity with which politics joined the torchlight procession in memory of Alexei Navalny" is an excellent signal in a country that is unfortunately very conflictual, I would like there to also be health care and wages", concludes the leader of Action..
