« I found Alfredo Cospito's condition alarming, to say the least, as he worsens day by day and hour by hour. And the thing that worries me the most is that he has no intention of interrupting the hunger strike, for him it is a political struggle ».
The words are from Ilaria Cucchi , senator of the Verdi Sinistra Alliance who today visited the anarchist in the Milan Opera prison.
“The first thing he told me was that he doesn't want to meet any more politicians . I'm the last one she'll meet and she met me solely and exclusively for my story, for what I represent. This is why I came here today. My brother died in prison and no one ever has to die in prison again. I asked him how he was, he told me several times not to be interested in him but to think of the sick elderly prisoners who are in 41 bis ».
In the meantime, the political confrontation shows no sign of abating: " In the next few hours, the Democrats will present lawsuits and requests for compensation for damages against the undersecretary Delmastro Delle Vedove and Giovanni Donzelli for the serious statements, repeatedly made by them in various contexts, defamatory and harmful to the honourability of Pd parliamentarians and seriously offensive to the history and commitment of a political force that has had and continues to have the fight against organized crime and all forms of terrorism as its founding value", the parliamentary groups of the Chamber and Senate of the Pd. "We are certain - they add - that both will assume responsibility for their serious statements without hiding behind parliamentary immunity".
The outgoing secretary of the Democratic Party also intervened on the matter: «Our deputies are subjected to a deliberate lynching by the FdI deputies who will answer in the appropriate fora for their slanders, which do not affect our historic position in favor of the 41bis. The Head of Government continues to keep silent, and therefore agrees? Enrico Letta tweeted.
Giorgia Meloni, from Berlin where she met the German chancellor Olaf Scholz, did not want to answer questions on the Donzelli-Delmastro case, but launched an appeal to the political forces for unity: «We have a problem that many are underestimating. The Italian state is the object of attacks by anarchists with the aim of removing the institution of the hard prison . A goal that the mafia is also aiming for. Threats against politicians and officials are increasing. But the debate in Italy is on another level. I believe that faced with a threat like this I think we should think on a higher level. And this is why I make a transversal appeal: let's not be divided on this. I call everyone to accountability, today there are two new people under guard and this, regardless of any assessment that can be made, is not a victory for anyone ».
Today came another very harsh attack by Delmastro on the dem parliamentarians, their visit to prison is " a bow to the mafiosi ", said the FdI exponent.
