An offensive banner towards the memory of the former President of Lombardy, Roberto Maroni, who died at the age of 67 in his home in Varesotto, was displayed last night in Naples in via Vespucci, not far from the Loreto Mare hospital.   

"Maroni, you wanted to see us dead

- the writing with blue spray on a white cloth -

but we saw you die! Never registered".

The police intervened on the spot and removed the drape.

The banner is not signed, however the photo appears in various social groups linked to the Napoli ultras where it is recalled that it was Maroni, Minister of the Interior at the time, who introduced

the fan card in 2009.

The reactions

"The authors of the banner on the late Maroni are squalid cowards. The memory of a man of the state, of an entire city and of one of the most popular fans in Italy has been tarnished. Some people have no respect for the dead, let alone the living This is not the real Naples: a city of love, tolerance and values. You are not Neapolitan!".

Thus in a note the regional group of

the Campania League

.

"Stupidity, rudeness and gratuitous malice are unfortunately monochromatic and the same from north to south, without exception. We feel anger and disgust in front of the banner displayed in Naples that offends the memory of Roberto Maroni, let's not blame an entire fan base or an entire city, but only a bunch of imbeciles and delinquents disguised as fans. Now we expect a clear unanimous and transversal condemnation and a similar distancing in the face of this shame."

This was declared by

Fabrizio Cecchetti,

coordinator of the Lombard League for Salvini Premier.

“You never get used to the worst, not even insults to the dead, to those who have just left us like Roberto Maroni”.

Writes the senator of the League,

Roberto Calderoli

.

"Shame and disgust for the repugnant banner displayed today in Naples. And a reflection: until 2007 in Italian stadiums we remember tragedies with deaths such as the Raciti agent and continuous violence, then with the fan card and reel cones, instruments strongly desired by the 'then minister Roberto Maroni, since 2008 the situation has normalized and today there are no police forces inside the stadium and there are no longer the usual guerrilla warfare around stadiums, in our cities, even though pockets of criminals remain irreducible as demonstrated by the incidents that led to the death of two fans in 2014 and 2018, in Rome and Milan, but not near stadiums but in other neighborhoods.
