25 April, Meloni: ‘Assaults and insults from those who claim to defend freedom – we have a problem’

Turin, 25 April (LaPresse) – "To recap. During some of the 25 April demonstrations – events that are supposed to celebrate freedom against all forms of oppression – there were attacks on those carrying a Ukrainian flag (including politicians), that is, the flag of a people fighting for their freedom against an invader. We even saw disgraceful images of an elderly man being prevented from taking part in the demonstration; democratically elected mayors, from all political backgrounds, being heckled and insulted; plaques and signs commemorating the Foibe massacres being defaced; the Jewish Brigade being insulted in the square and forced to leave the procession under police escort. If these are the people who claim to defend freedom and democracy, I would say we have a problem." Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote this on social media.
