Moscovici thanks Italians over Ciocca

(ANSA) - Brussels, October 26 - European Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici on Friday thanked the Italian people who had expressed support after League MEP Angelo Ciocca banged his shoe on a report of his. Ciocca pulled the stunt after the Commission rejected Italy's budget plan for 2019. "Thank you from the heart to the Italians who reacted to the act by @AngeloCiocca," Moscovici said via Twitter.
    "In democracy, violence, even if it is symbolic, is not tolerable in parliaments or in any other place.
    "We can talk, not agree with each other, but with respect for people and the institutions".
