Monza. Ilaria Salis returns home. The teacher from Monza, 40 years old in a few days, newly elected MEP she arrived a few minutes ago (at approximately 7.20 pm), in her hometown of Monza, together with her father Roberto Salis after a long drive from Hungary that started at 6am. Emotion shines through on his face, what he says the end of a nightmare and the return to his loved ones: home, after 15 months of detention and house arrestbetween the chains in the courtroom – the images of which shocked and divided the country – and the electronic bracelet to monitor his movements – until yesterday normality, today a memory.
From Budapest to Monza: the nightmare ends, at least for now. What brings her home is the vote of over 176 thousand peoplei.e. the preferences it has earned at European elections of 8 and 9 June as a leader for the party Greens-Left Alliance. Important numbers that ensure her a place in Brussels but also freedom. “She is tired and exhausted – comments her father, the only one to speak to the numerous journalists waiting for them. – The journey was long, more than 9 hours. Now Ilaria has to remarry, she’s finally home.”
It is certainly an emotional day for Roberto and his daughter Ilaria: an emotion that is also manifested in small gestures, almost taken for granted for us, such as the photo of father and daughter in front of the Monza sign, 5 letters that are worth a lot, a lot. From now on, Roberto Salis continues to explain, Ilaria Salis’ political activity will “pass” into the hands of the party with which she was elected, AVS. In recent months he has campaigned it street by street, square by square he has done it (and we at MBNews were also there at one of these meetings), tirelessly to chase a goal that has been achieved today.
