Cospito case, Meloni: “No preconditions for Delmastro’s resignation”

ROME. “The climate is dangerously warming. I don’t think there are in any way the conditions for the resignation that someone has requested» of the Undersecretary of Justice, Andrea Delmastro. Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister writes it in a letter to Corriere della Sera about the Cospito affair. «Moreover – he adds – the information contained in the documentation which is the subject of the dispute, which the Ministry of Justice has clarified is not a subject of secrecy, has even been anticipated by some media. There are, in my opinion, clearly instrumental aspects in this fuss». The premier continues: «I find it strange that people are scandalized because in Parliament there has been discussion of documents not covered by secrecy, while for years private conversations – these so not to be disclosed – often become public domain. I find the indignation of the Democratic Party singular for a certainly excessive accusation, when however the left in the past has leveled against yours truly, leader of the opposition, the accusations of “being the moral instigator of deaths at sea” or of leading a “subversive party ”, to name a few. Without forgetting when institutional exponents shouted to the applause that we should have “spit blood”». Furthermore, «It is striking that after having taken note of the relationship between Alfredo Cospito and the mafia bosses in a harsh prison regime, and knowing full well how much it is convenient for the mafia to question the 41bis, highly authoritative exponents of the Democratic Party have continued to ask for the revocation of the institution for Cospito , pretending not to understand the implications that this choice would have had above all in terms of the fight against organized crime», says Giorgia Meloni. «Certainly the tones have raised too much and I invite everyone, starting from the exponents of Fratelli D’Italia, to bring them back to the level of a frank but respectful confrontation», she points out.

Solidarity
«Our solidarity with the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, and with all the threatened exponents of the Brothers of Italy. We also express our closeness to the TV operator who was injured yesterday in Milan during the anarchists’ demonstration, not authorized by the Police Headquarters. With this violent demonstration they once again demonstrated their arrogance and their intolerance towards anything that does not coincide with their thinking: it is shameful that they can put the city on fire undisturbed, also smearing public transport vehicles » observe the honorable Fabio Raimondo and the councilor of the Brothers of Italy in Milan, Chiara Valcepina, regarding the anarchists’ demonstration in favor of Cospito, against the 41 bis and against the Meloni government.
