La Russa: «Whoever soiled the Senate should go to Emilia-Romagna». Young people: “We’re already there” – Corriere.it

Question and answer between the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa and the latest generation young people. «I said I was not against meeting the boys who are accused of having defaced the facade of Palazzo Madama but then the request was not followed up. So I make a proposal: they go to Emilia-Romagna for at least a week as volunteers and certify their active work to shovel mud and help eliminate the damage caused by the flood. It will be my care to try to convince the Senate to withdraw the civil action against them, having given proof of wanting to actually do something for the environment”.

The answer is ready: We are already in Emilia Romagna shoveling mud. We are between people who are providing assistance”, Maria Letizia Ruello, Last Generation activist, told Adnkrons. Who rejects any exchange: «It is a matter of cowardly blackmail. La Russa tells us: be good and I will take away your punishment. Last generation is already in Emilia-Romagna but you don’t see it. My son is there, shoveling. He is one of many. We are a very small avant-garde. If 20 people sit on the asphalt of the Gra to block traffic, you will notice. If 20 people go shoveling, you won’t notice.”
