"It's madness, a real sacrilege to mix figures who have had to do with crime with religious symbols".
Thus the comment of the deputy of the Verdi-Left Alliance Francesco Emilio Borrelli to a video , which circulates on the net and which he himself has published on his social channels. In the video a procession through the streets of Naples in which, in addition to banners with sacred effigies, there is the one with the face of Ugo Russo, the 15-year-old killed by a carabiniere in 2020 while, armed with a replica of a pistol, he attempted to steal the Rolex on the military's wrist.
According to Borrelli, there would be many citizens who paraded through the streets of the center last Saturday evening, following sacred images and the face of the young man. A route, "according to what those present told us - continues the deputy - which crossed various arteries of the city such as via Toledo, also blocking traffic , with the protagonists intent on asking people for money».
« We are truly absurd – concludes Borrelli –, the beatification of criminals associated with sacred figures . We will continue to fight to stop this drift, this desire to idolize and "sanctify" negative symbols at all costs. We have sent the material to the authorities and we are verifying whether or not it is an authorized event, also given the inconvenience to traffic. We will get to the bottom of this story."
