The Carroccio has announced that it is considering the jeweller’s candidacy “provided the legal requirements are met”. But the requirements are not met, because a conviction for multiple murders results in the forfeiture of political rights. The general is aware of this and says: “We will support him in every way possible, but I do not believe that standing as a candidate for the Fn is one of them”. Meanwhile, the jeweller says: “If Mattarella pardons Minetti, I will too.”

On Facebook, the Constituent Committee of Futuro Nazionale in Latiano posted an image of Christ ascending to heaven, accompanied by a caption referring to the centre-right: “I wouldn’t want to be biased, but even Jesus, having ascended to heaven, sat at the right hand of the Father – who am I to go to the left?”

The 14-year and 9-month prison sentence handed down to jeweller Mario Roggero, who killed two robbers on 28 April 2021 following a raid on his shop, has been definitively upheld. Roggero has become a symbol for Salvini and Vannacci, but taking the law into one’s own hands has nothing to do with self-defence
