"With the Meloni government in power, we live in a police state": this is the tirade of MEP Ilaria Salis, who this morning underwent a pre-trial search in her hotel room in Rome. Salis is in the capital where she will participate in the "No Kings" demonstration this afternoon.
"The effect of the security decree," Salis explained on social media, "let's realize how far we've come with the Meloni government in power. But we mustn't let ourselves be intimidated. Demonstrating is a right, and we must defend it with all our might. See you in Piazza Repubblica."
From that square at 2 pm, the national "No Kings" procession will take shape towards Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano, with the motto "Against kings, their wars, against authoritarianism and repression."
An initiative that claims to pursue various issues: opposition to rearmament, criticism of authoritarian tendencies, and defense of civil rights.
The police headquarters: "The decree has nothing to do with it."
"The staff who intervened simply requested documents from her and the person with her. When they realized it was the MEP, all checks were stopped without access to the hotel room. Therefore, no search was carried out and no action was taken." This was stated by the Rome Police Headquarters.
"Under no circumstances can this identification be linked to the recent public order regulations," it added. "Therefore, it is categorically excluded," it emphasized, "that this could have been a preventative check carried out in relation to today's demonstration, but rather an act required by international obligations." The report apparently originated in Germany.
