Ventimiglia – A raised and stretched arm, if it is the right, can only be a Roman salute. And if the gesture takes place in an institutional place where democracy is celebrated, such as the classroom of a municipal council, it can only arouse controversy. But if the protagonist, even of the Brothers of Italy, justifies himself by saying that he was just asking to speak, then the doubt creeps in and to decide if that outstretched arm is to be punished, the Var must intervene. Yes, because the President of the City Council announces that he will watch the film with the disputed image before deciding whether to punish the City Councilor.
It happens in Ventimiglia, an administration led by the center-right and triggering the case is a majority councilor, Giuseppe Palmero, elected with the Scullino list as mayor. Palmero is defending the mayor on the activity carried out to fight Covid, when utter a foul word and is interrupted by the Prime Minister Andrea Spinosi. He apologizes and says: “But I cannot be continually interrupted when in the classroom we greet each other with Roman greetings”, referring to gestures made by the councilor Ino Isnardi who has his arm raised and stretched behind him. Isnardi defends himself: “No Roman greetings. Since the President of the City Council did not give me the floor, I raised my hand to ask for it.” But it seems that the councilor several times in the City Council raised his arm in order to remember the fascist salute.
“We condemn the Roman greeting – they let the administration know – only an idiot can do it. “Spinosi will evaluate the situation and look at the images to establish a sanction for the councilor, if so the case will have to be reported to the prefecture and the prosecutor because that gesture is a crime. Meanwhile, members of the Democratic Party condemn the episode and the silence of the mayor Gaetano Scullino. The leadership of the Provincial Democratic Party of Imperia does so. “The outstretched arms and the Roman greetings in a municipal council in Liguria are back. The prefect intervenes. It would be appropriate for the Mayor and his majority to make themselves heard and censor this unworthy gesture with the explicit condemnation of a fascist regurgitation “.
The Savona deputy of the Democratic Party Franco Vazio of the same opinion: “We are in the presence of an ignoble fact in an institutional place”. The case recalls what happened incouncil chamber of Cogoleto (Genoa) where during a Council three minority councilors of the center-right made the Roman salute and justified themselves that it was only an expression of the vote. On that day, last January 27, in that room the Day of Remembrance was celebrated, the three Francesco Biamonti (Lega), Valeria Amadei (Brothers of Italy) and Mauro Siri (independent), are under investigation for violation of the Mancino law and after the closure of the investigation they asked to be questioned, it will take place after the holidays. In the meantime, Siri and Biamonti have resigned. The mayor Paolo Bruzzone had sent a report to the prefecture in which he asked for the forfeiture of the three.
