After everything that has happened in Italy, after what they have exposed themselves to, it would be embarrassing for the Italian institutions if my daughter were denied house arrest tomorrow." Roberto Salis said this after meeting his daughter Ilaria, detained in Budapest, in prison. for 13 months a year on charges of attacking three far-right militants.
After visiting his daughter, Roberto Salis has now arrived at the Italian embassy for a meeting with Ambassador Manuel Jacoangeli.
"Ilaria is well and is confident and hopeful for tomorrow's hearing", he added.

At the hearing, scheduled for tomorrow in Budapest, there will also be a representation of Italian parliamentarians in the chamber but "it is a shame that they are only from the opposition, because an issue of civil rights and the rule of law like this should be supported by everyone" said Salis, who before meeting Ambassador Jacoangeli defined the support and presence of parliamentarians such as Ilaria Cucchi and Nicola Fratoianni, arriving in the Hungarian capital, as "very useful".
With no political force, however, Roberto Salis explained, there was talk of a possible candidacy for the European Championships: "No one proposed it to me and I didn't talk about it with Ilaria, now let's think about having house arrest".
