Not only Fredi Beleri/ Who is the former teacher who was elected MEP in prison
Fredi Beleri is not the only MEP who is currently on trial.

As reported by the media, a similar case is also in Italy with laria Salis, who is in a judicial process in Hungary.

Ilaria Salis, with 176,000 votes received in the European elections with the Green and Left Alliance, becomes an MEP, a success that opens up new scenarios.

What happens now?

The former teacher is still on trial in Hungary on charges of attacking two neo-Nazi militants in Budapest. After the elections, she can benefit from parliamentary immunity, but only after his election is officially confirmed. The first thing needed will be the document proving your election, which, according to European regulations, guarantees you immunity and suspension of your ongoing trial in Hungary after your arrest. Article 9.2 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union provides that MEPs 'may not be detained or subject to judicial proceedings in the territory of another Member State' and therefore Italian lawyers will submit a request for release as soon as they have the formal certificate of his election. However, it may take days before the procedure to officially announce the 76 Italian MEPs is completed.

However, immunity would not be a real exoneration, and Hungarian judges could ask the EU to start proceedings to revoke immunity. Therefore the battle is not over. The point is that immunity cannot be granted for a flagrant crime and for that they have a video showing Salis's guilt. At that point, the last word would be that of a European parliamentary committee, tasked with judging the request for parliamentary immunity.

"If elected, she should be released from house arrest," said Green Europe spokesman Angelo Bonelli. Under European law, members of the European Chamber have special legal protections for the duration of parliamentary sessions, including immunity from any restraining order and any court proceedings, both in their own country and in other EU member states.

The first words

"I still can't believe it or describe my emotion. I can never thank enough all the people who supported me with their votes. My first thought goes to all the people detained in Italy and abroad and their rights. For anyone who fights for freedom and equality and finds themselves suffering injustice. Antifascism, as a human value and a political perspective, is also a resistant and supportive community. We have shown that solidarity is not an empty slogan, but something concrete and tangible. A power that, if we believe in it and if we want it, can really improve the world. As the radical right advances across Europe, it is necessary to fight to fundamentally change the current state of affairs. I'm ready to do my part. We must be able to strengthen and spread this collective and courageous force that has shown itself to me everywhere, in Italy, in Europe and around the world!” writes Salis in a post on Instagram.

For Ignazio La Russa, the choice of Ilaria Salis in Europe in the Avs lists "is a candidacy to get a person out of prison. It is something that does not belong to democracy, but from their point of view it was a propaganda element to be used. I don't consider it a surprise: on the last day of the election campaign they asked me for a poll and I said that FdI will do well, Schlein will do well and I added that there would be no doubt that Salis' party will be rewarded in the elections".

"The second highest state office does not know what democracy is. Democracy is the possibility, provided by the laws of the Italian Republic, that Ilaria Salis can run, which is completely unknown to the second state office, which in this way offends hundreds of thousands of people who voted for Ilaria Salis, which becomes such. MEP. Instead, this government believes, in a Pilates manner, not to intervene to ensure that she can be released in the next few hours. For President La Russa, a missed opportunity to remain silent, precisely on the part of those who proudly and nostalgically preserve the Duce's busts. They are really a problem for democracy", replied Angelo Bonelli, deputy of Avs.
