«I asked Orban that Ilaria Salis be treated with dignity and that there be a fair trial for her» .
Giorgia Meloni spoke with the Hungarian Prime Minister after the European Council in Brussels and asked him for guarantees on the treatment reserved for the teacher of Sardinian origin who has been in prison in Hungary for a year and who in recent days was brought in chains to the Court, an image that went around the world.
«Even in Hungary there is the autonomy of judges and governments do not participate in trials – Meloni specified on the sidelines of the conversation with Orban – but what I spoke about with the Hungarian prime minister is that treatment of dignity and respect is given and a fair trial for Ilaria Salis ."
“We are asking – added the Prime Minister – to verify respect for Ilaria Salis' rights”. The girl in chains? «It happens in various countries, even Western ones, it is not our custom and these are images that have an impact, but in other sovereign states it works like this» .
The hope is that Ilaria Salis «is able to demonstrate her innocence in a quick trial», concludes Meloni, «neither I nor Orban can enter into the judgment today, which is the responsibility of the judiciary» .
