    Police strongly encountered protesters in an Italian town which has actually ended up being a hotspot for the infection.

    The turmoil in Mondragone, near Naples, was stimulated by the look of Italy’s reactionary leader, Matteo Salvini, who was showered with eggs by the mad crowd.

    Police officers blasted the protesters with batons and riot guards, leaving one male with blood leaking down his face.

    Tensions in Mondragone are increasing over a rise in cases at a flat block inhabited by numerous migrant employees.

    Last week, the authorities revealed that more than 40 migrants residing in the deserted structure had actually checked favorable for the infection, and cautioned the whole town might be quarantined if the break out spreads.

    Many of those living at the complex are Bulgarians working as seasonal fruit pickers in the fields around the town.

    The area of Campania has actually been just partially struck by the pandemic whose epicentre remains in 4 northern areas which represent 70% of the approximately 240,000 verified cases.

    Wearing an Italian flag mask around his neck, Salvini informed press reporters it was his task to go to the town, with his words practically inaudible amongst the protesters’ shouting and shouting.

Immediately after the arrival of Salvini and his first words, there was a rescue of whistles and protests, then the tension resulted in a series of charges by the police on the demonstrators. A protester was injured. The leader of the League was welcomed by the protest choirs of the protesters, who tried to approach the gazebo where he was talking, just outside the red zone. Law enforcement pulled them back with lightening charges. The whistles covered the words of Salvini, who after greeting the mondragonesi, left the microphone and spoke to the press. Some of the residents applauded him and tried to approach him for classic ritual selfies. The large number of people present and the small spaces made it impossible to avoid the gatherings.

    ‘If people here called me, if good people who want to live peacefully in Mondragone, it is my duty to be here and I will keep coming back day after day without telling those delinquents, because in other cities we have brought back normality and safety and we will also do that in Mondragone,’ he stated.

    Salvini was Italy’s interior minister and deputy prime minister in the nation’s previous federal government union with the 5-Star Movement, where his appeal grew, taking a tough line on migration and constructing a casual ‘man of the people’ public image.

    He ended on the union in 2015 and ever since, his appeal has actually fallen.
