“The attempt to silence the legitimate no-bridge protests with the legislative truncheon is truly shameful and unworthy of a majority that wants to define itself as democratic.
This attempt to limit the constitutional right to demonstrate freely by exasperating the penalties to the point of making them similar to those provided for the most heinous crimes, as well as ignoring the principle of proportionality of punishment, together with the proposals on prison for journalists and limits on the powers of investigation for the magistrates, appears as yet another regurgitation tending to restore the typical characteristics of the fascist period which the whole of society must oppose with immediate firmness”.
This was stated by the group leader of the M5S at Ars Antonio De Luca, commenting on the amendment to the security bill presented in Parliament by the League which aims to increase the penalties against those who protest against the construction of major works to 25 years.
“Day after day – continues Antonio De Luca – the parties that support the Meloni government increasingly show the authoritarian drift that they try to hide with words, but which they abundantly betray with the eloquence of facts. Rather than seeking dialogue with those who see the ground sinking beneath their feet, the Melonian majority tries to silence everyone with good, but above all, bad means.”
