The protesters in the area contest him with the cry of "jackal", one of them threw him at the water ("Well, I'm also hot", replied the League leader). Law enforcement agencies tried to ward off protesters by using batons as well. After a charge, the situation has returned a little calmer. 

Salvini arrived aboard a car protected by law enforcement, but immediately from the numerous protesters present the choirs "Buffone, buffone", "Sciacallo" and "Lavaci con fuoco" started, while someone threw water from a bottle. Salvini tried to take the floor by qualifying the protesters as "some fool of the social centers" but it was soon interrupted, while a cordon of police officers is placed to protect Salvini and the militants and exponents of the League present.

"Social centers at the service of the Camorra. The armed wing of the left that prefers illegal and Camorra to respectable citizens. Here in Mondragone the problem is the Camorra and the underworld, I am sorry that social centers prefer crime to legality". Matteo Salvini, secretary of the League, told reporters. "They cut our electricity wires, but if they think they scare us with two eggs, many citizens and decent immigrants are wrong people ask us to be here."



About 200 law enforcement officers patrol the area. To welcome Salvini also various banners that invite him to leave. At the same time, a demonstration of the anti-fascist acronyms that attempted to approach the area where the leader of the Carroccio is to contest him. "Long live respectable people," says Salvini. "Italians or foreigners - he specifies - it's a pity that there is some fool of the social centers who prefers illegality".

The approximately one hundred anti-Salvini demonstrators, who arrived in a procession in front of the Cirio Palaces, where the Bulgarian community in quarantine for Covid 19 cases of infection resides, have tried to force the security cordon ordered by the police, who responded with a lightening maneuver, rejecting them There have been moments of tension even among the citizens of Mondragone, divided into two factions between for and against the League.

'"We would have liked to manage this situation with more peace of mind, we do not allow exploitation of any kind on our city. Mondragone already has many problems, we would not want it to become the pretext of a political clash that has nothing to do with the interests of the Mondragonese".
