"The Avs secretary Fratoianni makes us smile - bitterly - with the idea of creating 'democratic escorts' to defend the demonstrations 'from the police forces'. Therefore, according to Fratoianni, those who put public order at risk by lashing out against those who in uniform represent the State, should enjoy impunity guaranteed by parliamentarians".
Thus in a note, Tommaso Foti, group leader of Fratelli d'Italia in the Chamber, comments on the proposal of the Avs leader Nicola Fratoianni to have politicians and parliamentarians accompany the marches and demonstrations to counter the violence of the police.
"A bizarre idea, that of Fratoianni - he adds - which goes hand in hand with his deafening silence in the face of what happened yesterday at the procession in memory of the killing of Valerio Verbano, in which the MEP Massimiliano Smeriglio participated: a demonstration in which he was ignobly the mannequin with the likeness of President Meloni was burned".
"Perhaps, according to Fratoianni, the presence of parliamentarians gives political dignity to such disfigurements? If so, there would be one more reason to consider his proposal unworthy", concludes Foti.
