“Fascist, remember piazzale Loreto”: Rome, vandal raid against Michetti's committee

Serious provocation in front of the committee of Enrico Michetti, candidate of the center-right in the ballot for the Capitol. "Fascist, remember piazzale Loreto" and a five-pointed star for signature, is one of the writings that the volunteers found.

"Tonight the seat of the electoral committee Enrico Michetti mayor in via Antonio Malfante was vandalized - writes the electoral committee in a note -. The words 'Michetti fascista', five-pointed stars of the Red Brigades and the threat 'remember Piazzale Loreto'. Real threats and intimidations, fueled by a climate of hatred that has been going on since the beginning of the electoral campaign against the entire center-right. This is the result ".

"My committee has been desecrated - Michetti's words -. They wrote fascist next to 'Michetti mayor'. I'm not a fascist. I only had one card: that of the DC. I entered the oratory with the Catholic Action and I am always been guided by degasperian ideals. I am baffled that it gets to such low levels to 'kill a person'. "

"This is the result - he explains - of the climate of hatred that has been created around me and to the entire center-right and which has been fueled in all these months of electoral campaign by the left".

"Now enough, I will no longer accept attacks that have even led to these intimidations and threats that offend my person and endanger democracy. This is a shame", Michetti reiterated. The candidate who arrived on the committee then added: "I have always been against any form of totalitarianism: fascism, Nazism, communism. For me at the center there is always democracy, freedom, respect for people and institutions". "I am for the respect of man - continued Michetti -. At the center is humanity against any type of violence. Point".

BIPARTISAN SOLIDARITY - The episode aroused the bipartisan solidarity of all political forces.

"I express my full solidarity with Michetti. Hate and insults cannot be part of the democratic dialectic in any way", tweeted the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta.

"Violence and intimidation will never be instruments of politics - wrote the M5s leader Giuseppe Conte -. I express the solidarity of the whole Mov5Stelle to Enrico Michetti for the serious threats suffered and I hope that the authors of this coward will be identified as soon as possible. gesture".

According to Giorgia Meloni, president of FdI, “what has been happening to the detriment of FdI for weeks is unworthy and irresponsible. We will ask for an account. The intimidation does not stop us: Rome deserves a government worthy of its history and its enormous potential. To Enrico all our solidarity and closeness. Do not give up. Ps: obviously the committee, on the last day of the election campaign, is unusable ".

For Matteo Salvini of the Lega "the climate of hatred and de-legitimization against center-right women and men is unfortunately bearing its own poisoned fruits".
