Meloni claims the anti-rave rule: “Italy will never again have a black jersey in terms of safety”

“I have read several statements by opposition members regarding the measures taken in the Council of Ministers on the so-called abusive rave parties. First of all I would like to say that it is a norm that I claim and of which I am proud because Italy – after years of governments who bowed their heads in the face of illegality – it will no longer be a black jersey in terms of security “. Thus the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a post on Facebook referring to the controversy over the anti-rave rules. “It is right to prosecute those who – often arriving from all over Europe – participate in illegal raves in which private or public areas are illegally occupied, without respecting any safety regulations and, moreover, favoring the sale and use of drugs”, observes Meloni.

It’s still. “The exploitation of the right to demonstrate leaves the time they find, but I would like to reassure all citizens – if needed – that we will not deny anyone to express dissent – continues the Prime Minister in her post on Facebook – To deny it in in the past, if anything, it was precisely those who today attack the provisions of our executive, effectively defending those who invade other people’s land and buildings. We have shown that if the State exists, it can guarantee citizens to live in a safer nation and that also in the past similar episodes could have been stemmed. Finally, I would like to thank the police who managed the clearing of the shed in Modena in an orderly and completely safe manner “, concludes Meloni. And Federico Mollicone (FdI), in connection with Aria che Tira su la7, makes it known that “this rule can be applied rightly to occupied public or private buildings as happens in Rome, the capital of Italy of the mayor Gualtieri, I am thinking of the historic center, ‘Esquilino, where there is the Spin Lab, where they held the New Year’s Eve parties for a fee, for profit, without security measures, three floors below ground “.

The controversy does not stop. For the M5S “the rule, as it is written, can also be applied to the pickets of workers outside the factories, to school and university occupations by students and potentially to any form of demonstration. Rave parties are a pretext”, he warns Stefania Ascari, M5S deputy on the decree on raves, a measure that, increases the alert, “undermines the freedom to meet”. In fact, he explains, in the text “there is no specific reference to raves and for this reason it is misleading to speak of it as an anti-rave rule. The crime introduced is invasion of land or buildings by more than 50 people for gatherings that are dangerous for the public order or safety. The application is wide and above all arbitrary and discretionary, because the police forces are entrusted with the subjective judgment on the danger that a rally can present for safety, order and public health “. For example, “the gathering of fascists in Predappio, despite the crime of apology for fascism, can be considered not dangerous for public order and therefore not punishable. On the contrary – underlines Ascari – a demonstration of workers against relocation or exploitation, it can be blocked and punished because it is considered dangerous by the police “. The punishment is then up to six years in prison and a fine of 10,000 euros and is “an obvious disproportion if we consider that a maximum penalty of under six years is foreseen, even acts of terrorism towards things with explosive devices, manslaughter, wrongful death, abandonment of minors or incapacitated persons, corpse concealment, solicitation of minors “. In fact, the Meloni government “has begun to reveal its nature right from the start and is casually putting its hand on freedom and rights” and the M5S, Ascari assures us, will oppose this drift with all its “strength. they are alarming. “

The Anpi also speaks of “an alarming decree”, because “it limits the freedom of demonstration protected by article 17 of the Constitution”, observes in a note the national association of partisans, which announces that it is “ready to take any legitimate initiative to protect the Constitution and citizens’ freedoms, starting with the potential unconstitutionality of the provision in question “. Also the Third Pole, with the president of the senators Raffaella Paitadoes not share the new government’s norm: “Opposition must not be ideological and a government must be judged by facts. But the exaggerated norms on raves and the first act on the cash ceiling are facts, not prejudices. I have a question for the Melons: these are the priorities? You know the bills and the expensive energy? “, He asks on Twitter.
