Salvini-Ghali, the Northern League leader: “He screamed at me as a murderer and a fascist. I prefer De André to his music "

Matteo Salvini returns to the dispute with Ghali that took place in the stands at San Siro during the Milan-Inter derby.

"I did not know Mr. Ghali: I will be old but I prefer De André, De Gregori, Battisti", said Salvini, guest of Quarta Repubblica on TV, "the fact is that I was in a moment of tranquility with my son at the stadium and I was attacked by this Ghali who when Milan scored screamed at me as a murderer, a fascist ”.

"I invited him and Jake La Furia (who defended the rapper, ed) to have a coffee, I hope they relax. After what we went through with Covid, this is the time for peace and love, this is not the time to argue" .

The video, which went viral on social media, shows the Tunisian-born singer getting up, immediately after the Milan goal, and railing against Salvini who was on the other side of the grandstand. Ghali was furious to the point that some spectators had to intervene to keep him, with Paolo Maldini, seated a little further ahead, who tried to calm the spirits and Salvini who limited himself to cheering and sending "kisses".

"Leaving aside the good manners, I would have done the same thing", the comment of the rapper Jake La Furia on the story on the microphones of Radio 105. "As far as I'm concerned I would have insulted him and I'm sorry not to have been there. I am against anything Salvini you think. Everyone must receive what he gives. Salvini says chilling things to the whole town without worrying about hurting the people who are struck by his words. It is said 'he who sows wind reap storms. If you open your mouth often and willingly to hurt of categories, it may be that when you meet those categories they don't keep it. If I were Ghali and I met the person who says that everyone who comes from my country is a thief, that everyone who comes from my country is a drug dealer, that all those who come from my country cannot be Italian, they have to go home, maybe they didn't keep it '".

According to the reconstructions, to send Ghali into a rage was precisely Matteo Salvini's exultation for a goal, initially attributed to a black player, Fikayo Tomori. An exultation in his opinion completely in contradiction with the ideas of the Northern League leader.

During the morning, the League had explained with a note: “The leader of the League was in the stands with his son, and immediately after the equalizer the rapper approached him in an evident state of agitation. Ghali shouted a series of insults and raving accusations about immigration - trying to film himself with his cell phone - and was immediately dismissed, to the bewilderment of the other spectators. The Rossoneri club apologized to Salvini, who at the time did not recognize Ghali nor did he understand the reasons for his alteration ".
