The centre-left opposition Five Star
Movement (M5S) led by former premier Giuseppe Conte on Tuesday
called for Premier Giorgia Meloni to give an urgent briefing to
parliament on the case of Ilaria Salis, the 39-year-old Milan
primary school teacher and antifascist militant who on Monday
was dragged in chains into a Budapest court where she is on
trial for attacking two Hungarian neoNazis a year ago.
"Yesterday's shocking images of Ilaria Salis, who was handcuffed
in an undignified manner in the court of a country of which
Giorgia Meloni boasts of being a friend, have left us stunned,"
M5S House whip Francesco Silvestri told ANSA.
"As soon as the assembly opens we will request an urgent
briefing from the premier. The gravity of the situation requires
immediate information and action," he continued.
"We want to know whether the government, through the foreign
ministry, was already aware of Ilaria's condition.
"We hope that Giorgia Meloni will put the interests of Italian
citizens before those of Orban," concluded Silvestri.
