Meloni defends Undersecretary Fazzolari: “For me, chance doesn’t exist”

The “Fazzolari case”? “For me, the case is another. Fazzolari says that he has never said this thing. There is news, but when it is denied by all concerned, perhaps one should take note of it. No one has ever thought even remotely of the thing that has been attributed to Fazzolari. I don’t think it’s news to continue commenting on“. Thus the premier Giorgia Meloni replied, from Milan, regarding the controversy that concerned her undersecretary Giovanbattista Fazzolari. Who according to the newspaper La Stampa would have spoken of the desire to introduce shooting lessons at school. Background denied in the morning by the exponent of Fratelli d’Italia himself.

The premier is visiting the Lombard capital to participate in an event in support of the candidacy of Attilio Fontana to the presidency of the Region. He took advantage of it in the afternoon to visit the prefect of Milan together with the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi. Where he discussed, also with the mayor of the city Beppe Sala, the security plan which also affected the central station. Following the new provisions of the Viminale since January 16 “over 40 thousand people have been checked in the main Italian airports”, explained the Prime Minister, who also intervened on other issues.

Like the one that concerned the disclosure of wiretaps stolen in prison (between Alfredo Cospito and some mafia bosses) by the deputy of the Brothers of Italy John Donzellipass him on to Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro. “There is no need for Delmastro and Donzelli to resign,” Meloni said. “The Ministry of Justice has repeatedly said that those documents were not covered by secrecy, so much so that they were aware of a large part of the press, who wrote extensively about them. We’ll see what the prosecutor’s office will say”, argued the prime minister.

Who then on the threat of the anarchists around the Cospito case called for a sense of responsibility and national unity. “I may or may not share the tone. I think it is not intelligent that the institutions are divided, because it is a delicate moment. I asked everyone to tone it down, it also and above all applies to the exponents of the Brothers of Italy”.

Meloni also underlined, regarding the offer of the Kkr fund to take over Tim, that it is a “dossier that we are following with great attention”.
