The mayor of Trieste Roberto Dipiazza throws fuel on the flames of the controversy for the meeting of the Alpine troops in Rimini , where hundreds of women said they were victims of harassment between heavy jokes, shouted appreciation and even hands on .

For the mayor of the Friulian capital, however, boos and unsolicited compliments are not violence, but "appreciation" . "Are we kidding?", He asked himself speaking on the local broadcaster TeleQuattro and also attacking the NonUnaDiMeno association which denounced the episodes, dismissing it as "scum".

"One said: 'they told me I have a nice pair of legs and I felt raped'. When we see a beautiful girl pass by, what do we think? We are male . If they had told her 'you have a nice c ...', What would he have done then? Long live the Alpine troops! Long live the Alpine troops! I would like to say to this person: Madam, look, violence is something else ".

" There is appreciation, it is normal - he added - It is serious if you say 'look how beautiful that girl ... look at what a beautiful pair of ... that girl has ... or look at what a beautiful butt she has that girl'?".

Recalling that in Rimini there were "500 thousand Alpini", the mayor concluded: "Making these controversies means hurting everyone".
