Ilaria Salis, a 39-year-old
anti-fascist on trial in Budapest for allegedly attacking two
ne-Nazis last February, was definitively convicted in July for
resisting arrest, the rightwing League party said Thursday
reiterating its criticism of her actions and asking whether it
was OK for an elementary school teacher like her to be caught
with a bludgeon.
Ina statement, the League said it "noted with curiosity Salis's
father's decision to sue League leader Matteo Salvini for
defamation".
It voiced the hope that she would be found innocent, "unlike on
July 3 2023 with a sentence conformed by the (supreme court of)
Cassation for moral complicity in resisting an officer".
It added: "Of course, there remains the question: is it normal
for an elementary schoolteacher to be stopped in a European
capital with a bludgeon".
