La Russa: ‘Whoever smeared the Senate should go to Emilia-Romagna as a volunteer’

It was January 2: at 8 in the morning, the Last Generation activists daubed the facade of Palazzo Madama with orange paint. A gesture for which the president Ignazio la Russa had announced that the Senate would bring a civil action. Now La Russa himself is launching a proposal: “They go to Emilia-Romagna for at least a week as volunteers and certify their active work to shovel mud and help eliminate the damage caused by the flood. It will be my care to try to convince the Senate to withdraw the civil action against them having given proof of concretely wanting to do something for the environment”.

La Russa told Ansa, specifying: “I said I was not against meeting the boys who are accused of having defaced the facade of Palazzo Madama but then the request was not followed up”. The trial for aggravated damage against Davide Nensi, Alessandro Sulis and Laura Paracini began in Rome on 12 May. At the hearing, the civil action was accepted by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Municipality of Rome as well as by the Senate. “We would do everything again, we continue with our actions anyway – commented Laura Paracini -. I’m not so much concerned with the process, as with my future. A future without water, without food and with social collapse, that should terrify everyone” .
