"We are witnessing an intolerable series of manifestations of violence: insults, vulgarity of language, interventions devoid of content but full of verbal aggression, even effigies burned or vilified, several times of the Prime Minister herself, to whom full solidarity must be expressed".
The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella stated this while speaking to a group of students at the Quirinale.
"The political confrontation, the contrast of ideas and proposals, the competition, even electoral, are mortified and distorted", he added.
