Milan, Appendino (M5S) to Matone: “We among peace flags, you in empty squares”

Milan, 19 April. (LaPresse) – “The angry declarations of the Honorable Matone are the reflection of an evident fear: that of those who see their squares emptying while the people of peace invade Italy. Enough exploitation: we do not accept lessons in legality from those who call for flag burnings. As mayor in Turin I have cleared out anarchist areas and I have always condemned every form of violence with facts”. Thus in a note the M5S deputy, Chiara Appendino. “The truth is that reality burns you. Yesterday in Milan you were four cats celebrating a fake patriotism made of smoke and hypocrisy. While you lock yourself in buildings to vote on decrees that fuel wars and take billions away from public health, there is a generation that with the sole force of coherence is forcing you to review even military cooperation with Israel. A reverse gear that we obviously want to see clearly”, added Appendino. “The flag of peace is not a shield for violent people, but the symbol of an Italy that rejects your economy of death and your silence on the massacres in Gaza and around the world. We will return to the streets again with our flags, with pride and with uncovered faces. We among the people, you closed in the buildings to vote for rearmament together with your allies”, concluded the M5S deputy.
