La Russa querela la storica Ponzani: “Nessuna responsabilità nella morte dell’agente Marino nel ‘73”

Ignazio La Russa has filed a lawsuit against historian Michela Ponzani following her comments on a recent broadcast regarding security decrees. Ponzani referenced La Russa's involvement in a 1973 unauthorized demonstration that led to the death of a police officer. La Russa's spokesperson stated that he has instructed his lawyers to take legal action due to Ponzani's damaging remarks. The president asserts he bears no responsibility for the incident and has a clean criminal record. Opposition parties have expressed solidarity with Ponzani, emphasizing the importance of academic freedom and public discourse. Giuseppe Conte, leader of the 5 Star Movement, urged La Russa to withdraw the lawsuit, arguing that public officials should not attack historians for their critiques.
