Earlier this week, shocking footage of a man being beaten in a public square in the Italian city of Milan has galvanized conservative politicians in Italy to take tougher stances on immigration.
Remix News highlighted that the video footage “shows a man being drop-kicked in the face in Piazza Duca D’Aosta by a man described by the Italian Il Giornale newspaper as a ‘homeless Tunisian’ national, before the migrant smashes a bottle on his victim who lies on the floor in pain.”
“The assailant proceeds to brutally kick his victim in the head, as screams can be heard from onlookers, before nonchalantly walking away from the scene,” Remix News report added.
So far, the context of this migrant attack is unknown. However, leaders of two of Italy’s most prominent right-wing populist parties have called attention to this attack.
On September 25, 2022, snap elections will be held after Prime Minister Mario Draghi recently resigned from his position.
“Scenes of ordinary urban warfare between foreigners, violence and blood. Zero tolerance against criminals, security returns from September 25,” Lega leader Matteo Salvini declared, as he sounded off against the migrant attack.
