The controversy continues after the Ministry of the Interior's decision to ban away matches for Lazio and Napoli fans until the end of the season. The "Con Te Napoli" (Napoli Con Te) Supporters' Committee, represented by president Luigi Iaquinta and lawyer Angelo Pisani, has raised the stakes, calling the measure an "indiscriminate and punitive measure."
According to the Committee, the crackdown would not affect those actually responsible for the clashes, but thousands of fans, families, and workers, deprived of the right to follow their team.
"Security disguised as repression"
Lawyer Angelo Pisani has been harsh towards the competent authorities, calling it "institutional violence disguised as security." The Committee argues that the ban demonstrates the inability of law enforcement agencies to isolate violent offenders, preferring instead to resort to mass restrictions.
"Security is being transformed into a punitive system that tramples on civil rights," Pisani declared, underlining how such policies paradoxically end up benefiting the economic interests of pay television, driving spectators away from the stands.
Appeals and compensation requests are now open
From words to action. The Committee, supported by the 1523.it project, has already announced a massive legal offensive. The plan includes challenging the decrees in administrative courts and filing claims for damages for moral and existential damages and violations of constitutional rights. The stated goal is to protect fans as citizens, preventing them from becoming "political scapegoats."
A call for civil mobilization
Concluding the statement, the Committee appeals to all Azzurri supporters for a civil and legal mobilization. "It's time to defend the Constitution and sport as a popular right," Pisani concludes, reiterating that security cannot be achieved by eliminating fundamental rights. The legal battle has just begun and promises to reach the Constitutional Court if necessary.

It's true that there are security concerns, but the proposed solution seems more like a punishment for everyone, not just those who cause trouble. Many innocent fans could suffer as a result of this decision and lose the opportunity to support their team.
