«With him I will be stronger»- Corriere.it

Not only does he not regret deciding to speak in the Senate, but he wished he had done it sooner. Finally the day arrived and at three o’clock this afternoon Daniela Santanch take a seat in the Hall of Palazzo Madama to answer the accusations of the broadcast Reportsraised by the opposition: Difender my honor.

Up in the gallery, listening to his self-defense, there will also be the son Lawrencewho is 26 years old and born from the relationship with the pharmaceutical entrepreneur Canio Giovanni Mazzaro. The exponent of the Brothers of Italy told his party colleagues how much it is happy to have him near on the day of truth: He asked me “mom, if I come to listen to you will you feel stronger or less strong?”. I replied “stronger, of course, you are the reason for my life”.

Overwhelmed by a media and political storm that has been seriously embarrassing the government for days, Santanch says she is very focused and absolutely calm: I’m not worried in the least, especially since it is a disclosure and there is no vote. For days she has been working with her lawyers on what she deems an important speech.

It will last half an hour, I will answer point by point e I will try to chase away the shadows which weigh on her past activity as an entrepreneur. The corporate events of Visibilia and Ki group
I’m at the center of an investigation by the Milan prosecutor’s office and journalistic revelations speak of red balance sheets, unpaid suppliers, fired workers left without severance pay. The newspaper Tomorrow he said that the minister, with a notarial deed dated May 23, has bound his luxurious Art Nouveau villa in the center of Milan642 square meters for a value of over six million, to guarantee the creditors of Visibilia srl.

Surprised by the uproar that every piece of news about her causes, the minister vented with friends and collaborators: Not only am I putting my face on it, but I’m sorting out all the accounts. Sounds like a good thing to me, doesn’t it? But unfortunately when I’m involved everything is read in the negative, contrary to how it should be. If you have put your assets as a guarantee because you feel totally sure that you have acted correctly. Days ago, when the opposition was hitting hard, she compared herself to Silvio Berlusconi: I’m a gnat in comparison, but since my death they’ve changed targets and they’re picking on me.

The majority shields them. Yet in her chorus in defense of her more than one dissonant note was felt, coming from Forza Italia and above all from the League. The group leaders Molinari and Romeo had joined the pressure of those who asked that the minister go to the Chamber to clarify, but then Matteo Salvini corrected the line: I have absolute faith in my colleagues and we live in a country where people are innocent until proven guilty. Giorgia Meloniwho also cannot be happy with the tussle that broke out over the name of the minister, in the interview with Courier

he praised herboth because he is working very well, and for the decision to report to the Chamber: A choice of transparency and seriousness, which was not taken for granted and demonstrates his good faith.

But Pd, M5S and the left of Bonelli and Fratoianni, who have been invoking les for two weeks Santanch’s resignation, they may not be satisfied with the information and decide to present a motion of no confidence individual against her. A step that, beyond the parliamentary numbers, would embarrass the majority.
