A “strange” aggression, that suffered by Matteo salvini in Pontassieve by the 30-year-old Congolese Auriane Fatuma Bindela. A violent gesture, the rosary in sight, torn, and that cry: “I curse you”, with the finger pointing to the face of the leader of the League. A gesture that explains how The newspaper suggests an act of black magic, such as the one held in the Congo in 2013 against Roberto Calderoli of the father of Cecile Kyenge. In fact, black magic is an ancient tradition in the African country, we speak of “voodoo” rites. And on this point, always consulted by The newspaper, he says Andrea Bocchi Modrone, anthropologist and expert on African-American syncretic religions.
Was it a gesture of black magic? “So, assuming you seem like a crazy person to me, but in fact I have also thought about it and I see however, some elements that may also suggest a tribal black magic gesture -begins-. First of all, there is the breaking of the rosary what on the plane magical can be seen as a protective talisman, therefore a gesture that, observed through the lens of black magic, can be interpreted as a I break your protection and attack you with my God who is superior “. In short, the black magic hypothesis is plausible. Therefore, the expert emphasizes that there is a second aspect, “which refers to cultural aggression, that is, contempt for the faith of Salvini: to make it simpler I despise your god and your creed“, he comments.
In the cry “I curse you“Explains Bocchi Modrone:” It is certainly a gesture that can be disturbing, beyond personal creed; it can bother from the religious point of view, from the human point of view, it can bother because in any case the person feels threatened and is afraid. It is strong verbal violence because it is not a simple insult. The curse involves calling on a higher force to harm you. “Finally, the scholar recalls how voodoo cults are still widely practiced in the Congo: “The panorama is a bit confusing because it is also linked to tribal discourse. I know better the syncretic cults of Latin America, which, however, originate in Africa. Only God, Zambi, who nevertheless does not identify with the Christian God, as happens for example in South America ”, he concludes.
