Overview
- Student collective Sumud disrupted Calenda’s campus event hosted by the association Futura, briefly halting the discussion.
- An Instagram video posted by the protesters features a hand making the P38 pistol gesture and a statement rejecting liberal democracy.
- The statement cites the United States and Israel while arguing that political parties should not enter universities.
- Futura says insults and threats targeted its members on social media after the event and urges universities and political actors to condemn intimidation.
- Calenda downplayed the episode on X as the action of “two ragazzi,” and coverage notes a similar protest against Emanuele Fiano at Ca’ Foscari in October.
