A neo-Nazi skinhead raid on a
Como pro-migrant meeting earlier this week was not an act of
violence unlike those regularly committed by leftist and
anarchist 'social centre' squatters, rightist Brothers of Italy
(FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni said Thursday.
Speaking on Italian radio, Meloni said she agreed with
centre-left democratic Party (PD) leader and ex-premier Matteo
Renzi's assertion that the raid was clearly an act of
"intimidation".
But she said she found "ridiculous" his contention that it
was also an act of violence.
"On the other hand, we have seen violence a load of times
from the comrades of the social centres, those who destroy
entire cities and torch Italians' cars, without anyone making
appeals to condemn the violence of the social centres," she
said.
