ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In the course of the procession for no to the referendum, organized in Rome, in Piazza dell’Esquilino, some protesters have burned the symbolic images of President Giorgia Meloni depicted while holding on a leash the minister Carlo Nordio, with a museruola, next to the writing: “No to your referendum.” Shortly thereafter, another manifesto was burned, showing the premier while holding Benjamin Netanyahu. Fire also a US flag and a portrait of
President Donald Trump.
The event, promoted by Power to the People, has joined different realities, from the student collectives to the movements for Palestine including the Global Movement to Gaza, to the movements of struggle for the house, the social centers and the Usb.
LA SOLIDARIETA’ DALLA POLITICA
“During today’s parade in Rome we have once again witnessed incomprehensible and unacceptable gestures of hatred towards government representatives. My hope is that in the last days of the referendum campaign the confrontation prevails. To the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, and to the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, I address my personal solidarity and the Senate of the Republic.” He writes on social media the president of the Senate Ignazio LaRussia.
“I express solidarity with the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, and the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, for the gestures of hatred and images burned during today’s procession in Rome. I appeal that the referendary confrontation may develop on the merits of the issues, without exposing in acts that risk only poisoning the climate and fuel unnecessary tensions.” So the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Lorenzo Fontana.
“The M5S is contrary to all forms of violence and gestures that call it back. For this reason they condemn without hesitation and with firmness what happened little ago in the square in Rome, where the images of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Minister Carlo Nordio were burned. This government has to go home with the power of ideas and democracy, not with hate and violence. There is a handful of days to the referendum, to those who go down to the square today and in the next days I say: we continue to explain and reiterate the reasons of NO democratically, with open discussions. We reject all the manifestations of violence that indeed lend themselves to the exploits of those who want to paint the vast people of NO as an indistinct coacer of hatred and intolerance”. Thus in a note Giuseppe Conte, president of the Movement 5 Stars.
“We express our solidarity with the President of the Giorgia Meloni Council and the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio for what happened at the court of Rome. Our invitation to lower the tones during this referendum campaign is always valid and will always go for anyone and regardless of their personal and collective orientations.” Thus the National Association judges in a note.
“To think that burning Nordio and Meloni images is an act that contains some sense is as far away from our way of understanding this referendum campaign. I believe that fatigue for this kind of demands is now transversal and collective. Solidarity with the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni and the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio”. No, Enrico Grosso.
NORDIO “DIBATTITO SIA SUI CONTENUTI”
“I cordially thank those who expressed their solidarity, in particular the President of the Committee for No, Enrico Grosso, and the National Association of Magistrates. I also hope that in the coming days the debate will be maintained in the terms indicated by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, with calm and loyalty, on the actual contents. Of course these aggressive excesses, far from intimidating me, urge me to continue with ever greater determination and vigour, in full respect of those who think otherwise of us.”
Thus the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, on the testimony of solidarity received for the photo that portrayed him together with the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, burned during the procession of today afternoon in Rome.
