“Resign? On what? Be serious. Shall we go after Report?»- Corriere.it

“Resign? On what? Be serious. Shall we go after Report?” speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Future North Direction event in Milan, the Minister for Tourism Daniela Santanché replied to those who asked him if he had thought of resigning after the controversy that broke out over the investigation into the accounts of Visibilia, a company in which the minister played a preponderant role in the contested period. «I’ll answer everything, I’ve been in politics for 23 years, I’ve always put my face into it. Do not worry, wait serenely “, added Santanché.

The minister also reiterated that the executive is cohesive: «It seems to me that the majority is not only compact, but more compact. You have to look for other things to ensure that the majority is not compact»: On the occasion Santanché also spoke of the data relating to Tourism: «I believe that tourism in Italy will surpass the year 2019 in terms of data, a year in itself record. I believe that this sector will contribute this year to a growth in our GDP which should be around 1.8%, because it is a sector that is a driving force and an extraordinary lever for growth, because it crosses many categories».

He also sided with the minister the Lombard governor Attilio Fontana: “I don’t think that conclusions should be drawn from the journalistic investigations, I am absolutely convinced, I have faith in the minister, who immediately declared that she will report and clarify her situation positively”.
