Molotov Attack on Italian Politician's Home

Published: 2024-11-30

In a shocking incident, the home of Italian MEP Francesco Ventola was attacked with a Molotov cocktail in Canosa di Puglia.

The attack occurred late at night while Ventola and his family were inside, but fortunately, no one was injured.

This incident is the third of its kind in the city recently, following similar attacks on a bank director and a municipal official.

Authorities have launched an investigation, suspecting political motives behind the attack.

Ventola, a former mayor and regional council leader, expressed his determination to continue his political work despite the intimidation.

The local community and political figures have shown strong support for Ventola, condemning the violence and calling for unity against such threats to democracy.
