The attack of the M5s deputy Leonardo Donno put into the minutes with a simple “disorders” amid protests from the opposition. The Northern League member Andrea Crippa who intervenes to defend the gesture of Tithe Mas made by his colleague, claiming that “it’s worse to sing ‘Hello beautiful‘” and Pd-M5s-Avs standing and shouting “Shame” and they start singing again waving the tricolor. To then arrive at the suspension of the Chamber. It’s chaos Montecitorio the day after the brawl: when work resumed, tensions broke out again between shouts, protests And provocations.
Everything started again at the moment of voting on the minutes. A process that usually takes a few minutes and which instead lasted over an hour: the opposition signed up en masse to speak, asking for the attack that took place on June 12th against their 5 Star colleague to be made explicit. “Obviously what happened yesterday cannot be summarized in the minutes with the words disorders: the combined provisions especially regarding the last phase of the session are a aggression. It is a question of clarity between us”, said the PD deputy, Federico Fornaro. “It’s clear what happened, an attack. Then there will be disciplinary issues, but it cannot remain in the riots, there was an attack on a deputy. It is a question of clarity between us, it cannot be that what happened is not certified in the minutes.” And the dem Arturo Scotto: “There wasn’t a fight in the Chamber, we are faced with a premeditated attack by the right on the prerogatives of the opposition, not everyone is equal in this night of democracy”.
The protests on the minutes – The vice president on duty, Sergio Costa, tried to calm the waters by saying that the minutes do not include the parts in which the session is suspended. “They weren’t riots but a squad attack,” he intervened Marco Pellegrini of M5s. “It was a short step from the citation of X Mas to the attacks and it cannot be said that MP Donno attacked Calderoli. The images will tell who attacked an unarmed deputy who had been blocked by the clerks,” he added. The reference is to the gesture of the Northern League member Domenico Furgiuele who yesterday had made the sign of Tithe Mas aimed at the opposition. “It was 1993 when the League showed a gallows rope in the Chamber, we thought it was” the lowest point but “yesterday it was surpassed. We do not accept that report”, said Gianni Cuperlo. “We also show solidarity – he added – with the parliamentary assistants and the parliamentary assistant hit during those clashes”.
The Northern League member Crippa and the Decima Mas – The opposition stood up and shouted ‘Shame!’ and ‘Fuori’ and singing ‘Bella ciao’ in the Chamber after the M5s deputy Ricciardi he attacked Lega number two Crippa who said that ‘Bella ciao’ is worse than Decima. Some wave the tricolor. After the suspension of the Chamber, the chant ‘Fascists out of Parliament’ can be heard. Tension was also unleashed after a tug-of-war over the opposition’s request to suspend proceedings until 1pm, Bureau time, over what happened yesterday in the Assembly. In fact about twenty minutes earlier. A request on which, however, there was no convergence of the majority and it was therefore put to the vote and rejected by a margin of around forty votes.
The brawl – As can be seen from the numerous videos circulated immediately after the events, yesterday it all started with the M5s deputy Leonardo Donno who tried to deliver a flag of Italy to the minister Roberto Calderoli. A peaceful situation and certainly no more violent than the President of the Chamber Lorenzo Fontana had decided to sanction with expulsion. The violence came later. In fact, some right-wing parliamentarians started from the benches to attack the 5 star deputy. In particular the Northern League Igor Iezzi he attempted to overcome the barrier of shop assistants and parliamentarians by repeatedly trying to hit the Grillino deputy on the head. He missed his head, but it is not clear whether there was contact anyway. In fact, a few seconds later Donno fell to the ground and was taken away by paramedics in a wheelchair. The 5 Star MP then explained that he received a punch “straight to the sternum”, but that he didn’t understand who it came from: “I don’t know if Mollicone or the others around me. In the confusion, I didn’t understand it. In any case it’s madness. Squad stuff“. However, Donno anticipated his intention to report his attackers.
