MILAN - An Italian anti-fascist activist held in Hungary for allegedly assaulting far-right militants will be a candidate for a left-wing party at European elections in June, possibly putting an end to her detention.

"We want to defend the rights and the dignity of a European citizen in the face of the inertia of the Italian authorities," said Angelo Bonelli, one of the leaders of the Green and Left grouping, which is running at around 4% in opinion polls. Hungarian prosecutors are seeking an 11-year jail term for Salis for her alleged role in an assault on two far-right militants by a group of anti-fascist activists in Budapest in February 2023. She pleaded not guilty in January.Members of the European Parliament enjoy strong legal immunity from prosecution, even if the allegations relate to offences committed before their election.
