Holocaust survivor and Life Senator
Liliana Segre has blasted people who have compared COVID-19
vaccinations to the persecution of Jews by the Nazis.
The 90-year-old told Jewish newspaper Pagine Ebraiche that these
comparisons were "crazy" and a mix of "bad taste and ignorance".
A small but vocal minority has staged protests against the
obligation to have the Green Pass vaccine passport to access
restaurants, pools, gyms and open-air events in Italy as well as
to travel abroad.
Interior Minister Luciano Lamorgese told a press conference in
Caserta on Monday that the authorities were keeping an eye the
anti-vaccine protestors.
"There is no 'health dictatorship'," Lamorgese said.
"It is fundamental to get vaccinated to overcome this pandemic.
"All the government's measures were adopted to protect public
health because real freedom is the ability to go where you want
without harming others".
