Crosetto after the off-wave of “Striscia” with the insult: “I apologize to Conte”

“I apologize to Conte for an inelegant but used in a completely false, incorrect and decontextualized way. I compare myself and I will continue to do so with him in a harsh way and in total diversity of positions but with correctness”. This was stated in a note by the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, after Striscia la Notizia released his off-air with some judgments that also concern the president of the M5s.

“If all the misdemeanors between politicians and journalists were published – says Crosetto – you would feel anything, especially things that are not very edifying. In a completely joking way and in a colloquial context that someone from Mediaset or Tg5 has, in a completely incorrect way , betrayed and decontextualized, I used an inelegant term (in the plural) that the program Striscia la Notizia tried to attribute to me as an offense to President Conte “.

For Crosetto, “even if the term used had been in the singular, it would have been an ironic joke, with a journalist I have known for 20 years. Conte divides me everything from President Conte, as is well known, but I have never disrespected him. . We will confront each other fairly and openly in Parliament, but today I apologize to him. I know he will understand me because I remember – concludes the minister – that in the past, journalists also used these infamous methods with him “.
