Angelo Bonelli, an MP for the
Green-Left Alliance (AVS), on Thursday refused to abide by
Premier Giorgia Meloni's call for all Italy's political parties
to condemn the shouting down of Family and Equal Opportunities
Minister Eugenia Roccella at a conference in Rome.
"President Meloni, I will not condemn it," Bonelli said.
"Protest is the basis of democracy.
"After you have occupied every public media space with your
rallies broadcast on networks, after you have allowed
religious-fundamentalist organizations to enter counselling
centres to sabotage Law 194 (legalising abortion), I am on the
side of the women students who displayed signs saying 'We decide
about our bodies'"
