The “Antifa” frequented by Ilaria Salis are part of a terrorist group, this is not said by Orbán in Hungary but by the American government. The announcement came from Secretary of State Marco Rubio who explained: “Based on the President of the United States’ historic commitment to eradicating Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State designated four Antifa groups as Specially Designated Foreign Terrorist and Global Terrorist Organizations.” Rubio later added that: “The United States will continue to use all tools at its disposal to protect our nation from anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.”
The crackdown followed the murder of Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump’s announcement to take tough action against left-wing extremist organizations and, which ended up coming under the attention of the US State Department, were organizations that “conspired to undermine the foundations of Western civilization through their brutal attacks”. Among the four “antifa” groups listed as terrorist organizations there is also an Italian entity, the “Informal Anarchist Federation”, which “claimed responsibility for the shooting in Genoa of an engineering industry manager and sending a series of bombs against politicians, embassies and civilian targets, injuring several people”. Roberto Adinolfi, CEO of Genoa’s Ansaldo Nucleare, was arrested in 2012 on charges of supporting the return of nuclear power to Italy.
Apart from the two Greek groups, another group designated as a terrorist organization is the Germany-based “Hammerbande”, “known for using hammers in planned attacks on unsuspecting victims” and designated as a “terrorist organization by Hungary after attacking nine victims in Budapest”. The image published by the US State Department of one of the beatings that took place in Hungary refers to the episode in which Ilaria Salis was accused without being tried, after being a member of the European Parliament and gaining immunity.
It is no coincidence that the head of the Fdi delegation to the European Parliament, Carlo Fidanza, wrote: “Guess what? Among the organizations recognized as terrorist by the US, there are also colleagues of Ilaria Salis, namely the people of the disgusting Hammerbande, with whom she was arrested and from whom she has never distanced herself openly. We no longer expect anything from her, but who knows whether at least two words of condemnation will come from the leftist institutions that have guaranteed her impunity”.
