A radical Italian Antifa activist accused of attacking people with a hammer in Budapest has been elected to the European Parliament, potentially paving the way for her to be freed from custody in Hungary.

Ilaria Salis, a 39-year-old schoolteacher and “anti-fascist” activist currently under house arrest in Hungary, has won a seat in the EU parliament on behalf of the Green-Left Alliance (AVS) in Italy, ANSA reports.

Salis has been accused of being part of a leftist group of mostly Germans who allegedly attacked a group of supposed “neo-Nazis” on February 11th in 2023 as they honoured the Nazi Waffen SS soldiers and Hungarian allied troops who fought the Red Army during the Siege of Budapest by the Soviets during World War II.

Apparently there is nothing Green about the Green-Left alliance.
It's just a gimmick to attract unsuspecting Lefty neo environmentalist voters.

“ In a bid to help her obtain release, the Green-Left Alliance (AVS) put her forward as a candidate for the European elections. Responding to her victory, AVS leader Nicola Fratoianni said: “We can say one thing now: we have heard many things, they accused us of having used candidacies for instrumental purposes. I think we can say that we did the right thing in acting.”

Italian Deputy PM Matteo Salvini said: “When citizens vote they are always right: just as it was legitimate to nominate Ilaria Salis, it was legitimate for Italians to vote for her… this is democracy, it’s right”.

Good - I await the leftists to say the same thing when Trump wins.

Not true, their green is gangrene.

European voters are as stupid as American voters. After all, look who we have for a president.

I thought the Hungarians had more sense than that.

Not sure why an Italian should be under house arrest in Hungary. Having seen the footage that helped convict her, she should be in proper jail arrest.

These Antifactypes sure like their hammers:
