Attack in a motorway restaurant in Montepulciano in the Siena area, punches in the head and face against a Fratelli d’Italia militant. The young man was in a restroom of the service station, a witness to the attack tells Adnkronos, when at a certain point a man of about 30 years old attacked 23 year old Federico P., traveling from Bologna. The witness, traveling with the victim, still says that he intervened to stop the attack and that he got between the two to defend the young man, calling for help: at that point some friends of the attacker also intervened, who they separated from the young man and took him away, also tearing off the shirt he was wearing. The group fled. In the meantime, another person called the Traffic Police, describing the attacker and the means by which the group had escaped. The agents would have intercepted them and stopped them in Arezzo.
Again from the witness’s story it seems that what triggered the attack was the t-shirt worn by the young 23 year old, on which it was written Fuan Bologna, the student movement of the Brothers of Italy. Realizing that he was the object of attention, the young man asked the other for reasons, who at that point started with the attack. The 23-year-old went to hospital in Bologna.
The solidarity of the Brothers of Italy
After the news of the attack on the young Fratelli d’Italia activist, declarations of solidarity from party representatives are multiplying. “Solidarity with the young Federico, cowardly attacked with kicks and punches by left-wing extremists at the Montepulciano east motorway service station. She was returning from the joyful demonstration in Piazza del Popolo for the Brothers of Italy. It seems the attackers have been stopped and identified” writes the organization manager of FdI, Giovanni Donzelli, on social media. This is echoed by the group leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Chamber of Deputies, Tommaso Foti, underlining how “the group of Brothers of Italy in the Chamber of Deputies firmly condemns the attack on militant from the province of Bologna which occurred in a service station while returning from the demonstration in Rome. Our total solidarity goes to him and we hope that full light will be shed on the incident by the competent bodies. It is unacceptable that we still experience moments of political intolerance that lead to acts of unspeakable physical violence. The leaders and militants of Fratelli Italia will not be intimidated and we invite all political forces, from the secretary of the PD Schlein to the leader of the M5S Conte, to condemn this deplorable fact without hesitation.”
Stefano Cavedagna, national spokesperson for the Fratelli d’Italia Youth, expresses “maximum solidarity with Federico, a boy from our FdI youth movement, who was ferociously attacked in a motorway service station in Montepulciano on his way back from Giorgia Meloni’s demonstration in Rome. This is tolerance that some left-wing extremists demonstrate against those who do not think like them. We expect firm condemnation from the representatives of the center left.”
