«The holiday in Cortina? Media bubble, nothing to justify myself for»- Corriere.it

«I have witnessed this media bubble and I have also been surprised, I have also heard a lot of nonsense. The question is very simple: for New Year’s I joined my family who were in Cortina, in order not to stay alone in Rome, where I worked until the 30th. Hypocrisy? I don’t think so, because if there’s one thing that characterizes me, it’s maximum transparency. If my family is in Cortina, I will join them, paying from our own pocket, and I believe that there is no fault, nothing to be justified by»: said Giuseppe Conte, a guest at Upstream on Network 4.

“I’ve never hidden who I am: 25 years of honorable profession as a lawyer and university professor, from there my commitment in politics started. If my family is in Cortina, I join them. Paying from our own pocket, I believe there is no fault: nothing to justify oneself for », Conte specified

“I’ve heard some nonsense, which I would have paid 2,500 euros per night. We didn’t get a suite but a simple standard room. We paid much less than 2,500 euros,” argued the former prime minister. And prodded about who actually paid the bill, Conte specifies: «We are in a family menage, we both contribute and I cannot understand what the logic could be (of the controversies, ed). Other politicians are asked who pays what?
