A little more than ten days before the electoral turn, the electoral campaign began but with a climate of general hatred, also fueled by certain political forces. L ‘aggression suffered by Matteo salvini in Pontassieve a few hours ago is the test. The leader of the League is currently busy in Tuscany to support Susanna Ceccardi’s candidacy for the Presidency of the Tuscany Region. A tour in which Salvini will take these days to visit numerous cities and confront the citizens. Many crowds for Salvini, strictly with the mask and even in Pontassieve, the leader of the League was received positively by the citizens, despite the statements of the mayor a few hours before his arrival.
With a long post published byPotassieveFutura AssociationRelying on the cultural heritage and the marked sensitivity and propensity to welcome the city of Pontassieve, on the values of democracy contrary to the “man alone in command” and the “captain with full powers”, Monica Marini attacked the security decree promoted by Matteo Salvini. “Pontassieve believes in the principle of # equal rights and duties in the face of unequal treatment sanctioned by security decrees“, thundered the Facebook post. Of everything that is written in that long outburst against Matteo Salvini and against the League, however, it is the last step to jump to the eye, especially after what happened:”Pontassieve believes in a #Europe of citizens and cultivates those #values that Salvini, with his nationalist and populist propaganda, seems to trample on. Simply put, Pontassieve is #cozy, but here Matteo Salvini, at least for us, is not a welcome guest.“The last words overheated the hate climate against Salvini and charged the most hostile fringes, which since the previous days have hampered the leader of the League in Potassieve, with a crescendo of episodes that culminated in physical violence.
In the town on the outskirts of Florence, which has about 20,000 inhabitants, in recent days Salvini had been forced to change the restaurant where he would have lunch with the League fans at the last minute. It is not a whim of the leader of the League but a necessity, because the owner of the chosen premises was threatened and insulted. In order not to lose his job and avoid resentment, he had to cancel his engagement to Matteo Salvini. It is in this climate of intolerance, close to hatred, that the attack on the leader of the League has matured with the cry of “I curse you.” The woman grabbed Matteo Salvini’s shirt, tore it off, and then grabbed the rosary that he always wears around his neck. “I can buy the shirt again, the rosary violently torn from my neck, that a parish priest had given me, unfortunately notSalvini later commented on social media.
Contacted by phone by the agency Acted, the mayor of Pontassieve commented on the incident: “I am firm in condemning violence, which must not enter into political confrontations. Whoever made that gesture was wrong and I don’t want to in any way reduce the severity of that success this morning. But it is necessary to reflect on the climate that can generate such gestures“.
