(ANSA) – ROME, AUG 21 – Left-wing and right-wing squats are both crimes, Foreign Minister and centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia (FI) leader Antonio Tajani said after the eviction of the historic counter-cultural Leoncavallo ‘social centre’ squat in Milan and amid criticism of an alleged failure to act against the neo-Fascist CasaPound’s HQ squat in Rome Thursday.
“Occupying someone else’s space is illegal,” said Tajani, who is also drputy premier.
“It means violating property rights, it means violating the freedom of others.
“The eviction of a social center in Milan, which for many years represented illegal building and degradation, means restoring legality and respect for the rules.
“Thanks to the State Police, the Carabinieri, and all those who participated in the Leoncavallo eviction operations.
“For us, this is not a political operation, but a justice operation.
“There is no difference between left-wing or right-wing occupations, both constitute a crime.” (ANSA).
