"After being once again brought to the Chamber
with chains on her wrists, ankles and a leash
, today the Hungarian judges also decided to
deny her house arrest
. An inadmissible slap in the face of the rights of a detained person, of one of our compatriots. We expect that Giorgia Meloni's government must react immediately." This was stated by the secretary of the Democratic Party
Elly Schlein
.
Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani
stated that the use of chains and handcuffs "is not a good way, I don't think there is any danger of escape. Having said this, I would avoid politicizing the case otherwise there would be a risk of confrontation. I am worried about the citizen Salis - says Tajani - I don't care if they then want to nominate her but if the process has to be transformed into a political clash, the political clash does not favor Mrs. Salis".
"I don't feel like I automatically absolve Salis' behavior in terms of what happened. But she is an Italian citizen and the government will do everything possible to defend her. Still in chains? I remember that in Italy too Tortora was brought to court in chains. Italian justice has moved forward, there are other respects, and we are proud of this", says the Fdi deputy,
Giovanni Donzelli
.
"One issue is the progress of the trial, which can only be carried out by that court. On the treatment of the accused: we don't like them and are against these types of treatment", said the Fdi group leader in the Senate ,
Lucio Malan
. "We remember - he then added - that even in Italy the accused are often inside a cage that is not particularly exalting human dignity".
"It is not acceptable that an Italian citizen is treated like this in Hungary. Giorgia Meloni must be truly a patriot and explain to Viktor Orban that either Hungary respects the rules of the rule of law or none of the Italian tax euros must end up in Budapest as instead It's happening today. President Meloni, make yourself heard. Do the Brothers of Italy or the subjects of Hungary govern us?", wrote IV leader
Matteo
Renzi in X.
"It is an open challenge by Hungary, under the leadership of Orban, to the values and norms of the European Union. Hungary must be placed outside of Europe", writes the national co-spokesperson of Green Europe and deputy of the Green Alliance and Sinistra,
Angelo Bonelli
.
From Budapest, where he attended the trial,
Ivan Scalfarotto
of Italia viva also intervenes: "Ilaria Salis could not hurt a fly or escape from this courtroom. If the accused is attached to a leash it is only out of harassment" .
"I think we need an intervention from our government," said CGIL leader
Maurizio Landini
.
