New PCI pro-Israel list threatens safety - La Russa

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 23 - An alleged 'proscription' list issued by the new Italian Communist Party (PCI) of politicians, journalists and businessmen, 'guilty' of supporting Israel is an unacceptable threat to their safety, Senate Speaker Ignazio La Russa, a co-founder of Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, said Friday.
    "I find it very serious that the New Communist Party has published on its website, names and surnames of politicians, journalists and businessmen, 'guilty' of supporting Israel," he said.
    "This is a serious and unacceptable attack on freedom of thought and a worrying threat to the safety of those involved. "In addressing my sincere sympathy to all those included in this shameful proscription list, I hope for firm and unanimous condemnation," said La Russa on social media. (ANSA).
