Teenager Apologizes for Mimicking Gun Gesture Towards Premier Meloni in Senate

"If I had made the gesture of a clenched fist perhaps all this mess would not have happened. I apologize, but my dissent towards this government and this political class remains. I will send Meloni a letter of apology, but with anti-fascist greetings," said the 17-year-old who last Tuesday, during a visit to the Senate with his class, extended his arm and mimicked a gun with his hands towards Premier Giorgia Meloni, will not be enough to avoid him a disciplinary sanction. A gesture that greatly saddened the Prime Minister because it was made "precisely on the anniversary of the killing of Marco Biagi (the labor lawyer assassinated by the Red Brigades in the 2002 attack in Bologna)." "Student mimics gun gesture against Meloni in Senate, the premier: 'Striking it happens on the anniversary of Marco Biagi'" The high school in via Campania sent a letter of apologies addressed to the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa. "We will take a disciplinary measure," declared the principal, Cinzia Giacomobono after the Institute's council urgently convened yesterday afternoon to discuss the case. Next Monday, the class council will probably issue a 14-day suspension (the maximum penalty before expulsion) for the student. A measure hoped for by the class council, but which would not be favorably received by the Lundus collective active in the institute and of which the boy is a part. The collective has already received heavy insults and threats. The case risks awakening bad nightmares of a past considered by all to be now buried.
