An absence from the Italian Left party taking place today in Milan does not go unnoticed. Among the speeches expected was the video-linked one by Ilaria Salis, who returned to Italy yesterday after 16 months of detention in Budapest on charges of attacking two neo-Nazis. However, the newly elected Member of the European Parliament skipped the speech. According to what the organizers of the event report, she “is not yet in a position to intervene”. It was once again her father who spoke in her place. «I believe that with Ilaria you have made an excellent purchase. We know that “every cockroach is beautiful to mother soja“, but you will realize it. Ilaria will reserve great surprises for everyone, it will be a great surprise for the majority”, said Roberto Salis, connected remotely.
The father: «I am no longer his spokesperson»
«Yesterday on live television, in the assault we suffered from journalists outside our house, I irrevocably resigned from the role of spokesperson for Ilaria and as a candidate against third parties. It was a wonderful experience, but now Ilaria has to speak”, added the father of the almost 40-year-old from Monza. «You have to ask her what Ilaria wants to do, I believe that in the next few days she will begin the communication campaign in her role», concluded Salis. The new MEP from the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra returned to Italy yesterday 15 June to her parents’ house in Monza, after having traveled the long journey from the Hungarian capital by car. In recent days, Ilaria had made a point of reassuring those who elected her: «I am spending these days preparing for the work that awaits me in the European Parliament. I can not wait to start”. But we will have to wait a few more days.
