Beating in Florence, Minister Valditara: "I did not speak of sanctions against the principal who wrote the letter"

"Many things have been said, but I have not announced sanctions" .

The Minister of Education Giuseppe Valditara wrote it on Twitter, returning to talk about the open letter of the principal of the Leonardo da Vinci high school, Annalisa Savino, to her students, written after the aggression by young people of Azione Studentesca against boys of the Michelangelo classical high school in Florence.

The minister had commented on the words of the school principal as follows: «It is not up to a principal, in her duties, to send messages of this type. And then the content has nothing to do with the reality of the facts. In Italy there is no fascist danger, nor a violent and authoritarian drift. Defending borders and remembering the identity of a people has nothing to do with fascism, or worse with Nazism», Valditara had attacked, « these initiatives are instrumental and express a politicization that I hope will not play a role in schools ».

In his letter, Savino had written: «Fascism in Italy was not born with large gatherings of thousands of people. It was born on the edge of an ordinary sidewalk, with the victim of a beating for political reasons who was left to herself by indifferent passers-by", relating the "disgusting regurgitation" of identity with the politics of the current government.
