Political violence must be stopped (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, February 22 - Political violence must be stopped, leftwing Free and Equal (LeU) party leader Pietro Grasso told a Facebook-ANSA live forum Thursday.
    "I condemn violence, from whatever side it comes," said Grasso, a former national anti-mafia prosecutor and Senate Speaker.
    "It must be condemned and it must be stopped trying to nip in the bud all manifestations of violence linked to political ideology".
    Italy has recently seen a string of incidents between far-right and far-left groups ahead of the March 4 general election, which have reminded some of the 1970s street clashes between radical groups.
