Straight and Reverse, sparks fly between Benigni and Pacini over clashes in the streets

Guests of Paolo Del Debbio on " Dritto e Rovescio" included Stefano Benigni, a young Forza Italia MP, and Lorenzo Pacini, Democratic Party councilor for Milan's Municipio I and center-left mayoral candidate in the primaries. The two politicians engaged in a heated exchange over events in Italy's public squares in recent weeks. Pacini, on Saturday, October 17, took to the streets with protesters and, in a video posted on social media, denounced "beatings and repression " by law enforcement.

That very day, violence erupted in Piazza Duomo, with shop windows smashed, shops looted, and police officers attacked by youths. A few weeks ago, Pacini himself, in an interview, had asked the Maranza people to " vote for him ." This prompted Benigni's attack.

"I asked you, answer," a heated exchange between Benigni and the other guest leaves Del Debbio speechless.

On “Dritto e Rovescio ” Stefano Benigni attacked Lorenzo Pacini: “You said you were in the square with them, you said you were in the square with them! Were you throwing stones too? I'm asking you, answer, answer! Were you throwing stones with them? ” And Pacini: “ Be careful what you say .” With Benigni pressing: “ Then condemn those actions, because they are shameful, have the courage and dignity to condemn them! This is the truth ,” with the Democrat: “ I don't do what you tell me .” Finally, Benigni, increasingly angry: “ Oh no? Look, this is the left, this, the left doesn't do what the right says, it gives criminals the protection they deserve! ” Paolo Del Debbio was forced to intervene after the ovation in the studio: “ Let's continue, continue, continue, good, good, good, good. Not a stadium atmosphere. ”
