What is expected to happen in Bologna and its impact is not much more serious only thanks to the professionalism of the police who curbed the usual violence. antagonistic fringe. Correct 5 thousand at the start of the processionlater they diminished but remained an important group even though they used paramilitary strategies to disperse agent forces. They split up and tried to attack from various points red zonefailed to mount any attacks at PalaDozza where Virtus and Maccabi were playing Euroleague matches. The mayor wanted to move the meeting to Casalecchio di Reno, perhaps even to another day, giving in to the usual threats made by violent people. His calls for calm actually fell on deaf ears, but the Mayor of Bologna, who should have been aware of the antagonistic movements in his city, could not have expected anything else. Therefore, he tried to withdraw, requesting that the meeting be moved but met with resistance from the Ministry of the Interior: violent people should not dictate the agenda.
The day after the clashes, the mayor made further efforts to keep the universe surrounding the social and anarchist centers calm, trying to shift the blame to the ghostly masses of violent people coming from outside, because in his opinion what he saw was the work of “80% come from outside the city“. That what Lepore gave was not the actual figure is evident from the National Police Headquarters report which was known to the deputy and deputy head of the League group, Igor Iezzi, who informed him of the existence of “5 thousand demonstrators”among them”only 100 came from other cities“.Very different proportions compared to those expressed by the Mayor of Bologna, who, despite condemning the violence, did not fail to attack the Ministry of the Interior.”Among the demonstrators were many people affiliated with Bolognese social centers who benefited from this premises provided with a loan from the City Government led by Lepore. Now we understand the nervousness of the Mayor who found nothing else but to stir up controversy to cover the ruse that characterized his visits to the Palazzo d’Accursio.“, reasoned Iezzi.
It seems that, once again, left-wing institutions are trying to build a protective hat around violent people and social centers.
Lepore is not the first to be moved by these attitudes, there are others of her colleagues who are careful not to point fingers at these movements and the reasons are, often, electoral: they represent a collection of sounds which the exponents of the institutional left cannot abandon. However, the claim that what happened yesterday was the work of an external movement is a distortion of reality that cannot be shared.
