Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited victims of a car attack in Modena where a driver with a history of mental health problems ran over pedestrians. Some far-right politicians attempted to link the incident to immigration, but authorities emphasized the driver's psychiatric issues.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Sunday visited people wounded by a driver with a history of mental health problems who ran over several pedestrians in northern city of Modena.
Hundreds gathered in the evening at the call of the city’s mayor to “unite against those who want to divide and sow hatred” after some far-right politicians tried to tie the incident to immigration.
“For the moment, what has become most clear, is that this personal situation is of a psychiatric nature,” Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said on Sunday, after a meeting officials at Modena city hall.
“I’m not trying to minimise it,” he added. “There are sometimes situations in which the reasons overlap, that someone acts for terrorism or for other reasons. Let the investigators do their work.
“The city should be reassured from this point of view, in the sense that this is a dramatic, tragic, isolated episode,” he said.
