With a video on Instagram and Facebook, Danilo Toninelli, former minister and historical face of the M5S, spoke on the challenge of a group of citizens, while sitting in a bar, which led him to respond badly to the protesters, with a sound ‘don’t break the cog ..’. “The video dates back to last Tuesday, it was shot in the media with a negative reading key for myself – it was 17.30, I had a business appointment and for obvious reasons related to Covid I didn’t want to do it in the office”, so fall back “on a bar under the office”.
“There were 15 people, a team – explains the exponent of the Movement – said: ‘here is the politician to ask questions’. I am surrounded, in a non-normal way – he assures – I am a citizen who answers everyone, I am a normal citizen who has the privilege of working in institutions, they stop me from all sides, at the bar, at the trolley while I shop, for me it is a stimulus. This was a different situation, they didn’t want a confrontation, but to attack me threateningly and aggressively, even the physicality was aggressive “.
“I get angry because they cannot tell me that I am the same as the others, I have been cutting my salary for 7 years and they must know it,” says Toninelli claiming that he also gave up the escort once he lost the role of minister, “because I could have kept it for years”. “We are against the annuities, against the caste, we are the only political force against. I could have been less angry – he recognizes – but it was not a normal situation, because having around 10-15 people around who simultaneously verbally attack you, while one If a normal citizen speaks to you, he does not point your phone at you. But it was not a situation like any other – he assures – even if the media described it to damage, Salvini relaunched pieces “of the video” to generate hatred and bad, very bad, and it also has a dramatic effect on democracy. It leads you to think that a person who is respectable is not. This hurts. “
