The Italian antifa activist led the partisan fight against Nazi fascism from a Hungarian prison

The activist who was detained in Hungary and who was launched as a candidate in the European Parliament elections by the Italian extreme left led a partisan fight against Nazi fascism on the Italian national holiday commemorating the end of the Second World War, MTI wrote.

IS’s lines were read by his father at the march of the National Association of Italian Partisans (ANPI) in Rome. The participants of the commemorative march repeatedly chanted “Ilaria be free!”.

IS’s open letter also reached the Italian press. “In my country, remembering the end of the Second World War, we (also remember) the expulsion of the Nazi fascists, which is due to the brave fight of partisan men and women. From my gray cell, I wish with all my heart that my country is worthy of its own history. Today, as you have done in the past, confront the injustices of the world by standing on the right side of history. Happy April 25!” – written by. April 25 is a national holiday in Italy, the anniversary of the country’s liberation from fascism in World War II.

He was detained by the Hungarian authorities last February. The trial of the 40-year-old antifa activist accused of attacking passers-by in Budapest, among others, began this year. The trial of IS and his companions for the crime of attempted life-threatening bodily harm and other crimes continued with interrogations at the Capital Court at the end of March. The main accused, the Italian IS – who was brought into the room in handcuffs despite the previous complaints – took part in the trial in person: criminal supervision wanted to reach him, but the court rejected this.

The 39-year-old woman is accused by the prosecution of being one of the main organizers of the street attacks that took place on the day of the outbreak in February last year, when foreign anti-fascist activists beat people they thought were far-right on the street. The Italian woman was detained in February of last year for attempting to commit the crime of life-threatening bodily harm committed in a criminal organization. He could face up to 11 years in prison.

On April 18, the Green Party and the Alliance of the Italian Left (AVS) announced that it would run the woman as the leader of the list in the European Parliament elections in one of the Italian territorial voting districts of the political force. Regarding the nomination, his father said that they are still discussing its modalities, as his situation is different compared to all other European candidates. “My daughter is today’s embodiment of anti-fascism,” the father insisted.
