Adnkronos Rome, October 6 (Adnkronos) – "We are concerned to learn that the Italian government, through Minister Piantedosi, has authorized the Mossad's operational presence in Udine on October 14, for the Italy-Israel match and the accompanying peace demonstration. This decision is not only politically irresponsible, but institutionally unthinkable," said Marco Grimaldi, deputy group leader of the Left Green Alliance.
"We ask ourselves: with what mandate? With what rules of engagement," he continues, "to use Tajani's words on the Global Sumud Flotilla. It had already happened in recent weeks in Parma, now it will happen again in Udine. The Meloni government appears to have outsourced the management of public order to a foreign secret service, an apparatus belonging to a government under international accusation for crimes against humanity."
Authorizing the Mossad to operate on our soil is a choice that tramples on international law and the dignity of our democracy. This is even more true after the kidnappings and acts of violence committed by the Israeli army against Italian and European citizens, illegally taken from Italian-flagged ships. While citizens demand justice and demand Israel be excluded from all sporting competitions, the government offers hospitality. We demand that all authorization for the Mossad be revoked immediately. The safety of Italian citizens cannot be entrusted to those accused of genocide," he concludes.
