Indian restaursants in Rome have been targetted after the jailing og Italian Cops in India. La Destra, a right-wing organisation protested by forcing Indian restaurants in Rome to shut down. They screamed ‘Italy is with you’, ‘We miss you’, ‘Italy is waiting for you’.
La Destra is supported by former Italian health minister Francesco Storace. Storace has written in his blog that: “Unfortunately, what we feared has happened. Our two navymen were taken to jail. The speed of decision matches settling of a condominium dispute”.
Meanwhile, Gianluigi Limido, head of La Destra in Rome, claimed to have closed down 10 Indian restaurants in Rome. He also put up posters asking people to boycott Indian products.
But La Destra has no intention to boycott Indian products. “We just want our soldiers to be freed. The whole country is with them,” he said. The organisation boasts of 20,000 followers in Rome and more than a lakh across Italy
