A migrant is to be expelled from Italy
for offending the Italian flag, Interior Minister Matteo
Piantedosi said Tuesday.
“The foreign citizen who, after tearing it down from the
wall in Florence, threw the Italian flag to the ground and
offended it, was immediately identified,” Piantedosi,
said on X, posting a video of the episode.
“The man, illegally present, was taken to a CPR where he will be
held pending repatriation to his country of origin.
“In Italy, our laws and rules must be followed, but
above all, the symbols that represent the deepest values on
which our democracy is founded must be respected and honored.”
