The Gorizia policewoman Nunzia Alessandra Schilirò.
On the stage in Rome, the deputy commissioner said: “Disobeying is duty”
The statements of the Deputy Commissioner of the State Police Nunzia Alessandra Schilirò already subjected to disciplinary proceedings are “very serious” for the Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese since she spoke on Saturday afternoon from the stage in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome during a demonstration against the Green Pass “as free citizen ». The owner of the Interior Ministry follows “the affair personally with the head of the Police Lamberto Giannini”, so that “the responsibilities of the interested party under every legally relevant profile are ascertained with absolute speed”. But the policewoman replies: “I’ll always go ahead, with or without a uniform, for the love of my country.”
Moreover, on the stage of the demonstration, the assistant commissioner did not use half measures: «I’m here to disagree with the green pass which is absolutely incompatible with our Constitution. No right can be subordinated to a green certificate ». Even today in a post on Facebook she was very direct: “It is nice to learn from the newspapers, rather than from one’s own administration, that we are already under disciplinary proceedings” while saying that she is “very serene”.
In a few hours, his post collected 8,000 likes and 2,600 comments, many of them positive. On Twitter the story is much debated and the controversy between supporters and detractors is raging. Schilirò reiterated his position on Facebook and claimed his work: «Yesterday I had the opportunity to exercise my rights under the Constitution and I did it. My job is public. I have received four awards from civil society for my professional achievements “, while” yesterday I was just a free citizen exercising my rights. If the administration does not like my loyalty to the Constitution and to the Italian people, I’m sorry, I’ll go ahead anyway ». Because for the policewoman “demonstrating – she motivated from the stage – is a bit like reporting a crime: sometimes you can choose whether to do it or not, but if you do it you have some chance of getting out of injustice, if you don’t you have already lost because you surrendered ».
And addressed to fellow police officers, she concluded: “To those who say that we law enforcement agencies are called to enforce laws, I say that it is absolutely true, it is a pity that the Italian Green pass is absolutely illegitimate”. The vice-president of the Forza Italia group Licia Ronzulli expressed herself with equal firmness, wishing a quick intervention by the Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese “to suspend her from office”. The position of the PD security manager Enrico Borghi is of the same tenor: “In a normal country, a deputy superintendent of the state police enforces the laws, does not go up on stage to make a fourth-rate meeting that instigates insubordination and invokes failure to comply with the laws. It’s a slap in the face of the police. Measures, please ». Even the union does not defend Schilirò. Indeed, the spokesman for the National Association of Police Officers, Girolamo Lacquaniti, urges her to resign “for consistency” and claims that Schilirò “harangued the same crowd from which a group of troublemakers broke away who used her words while attacking policemen and carabinieri on duty ».
