Rome, 25 September (LaPresse) – "I believe that as parliamentarians we should act in these chambers, but I have great respect for those on those boats and I believe that their safety should be guaranteed and that a channel of dialogue with those on board should remain open. Yesterday, President Meloni said that everything was done against her, and this is truly an excess of victimhood. Elly Schlein is right to point out the difference between her briefing this morning and the tone used yesterday by the Prime Minister." Thus spoke Iv group leader Maria Elena Boschi, speaking in the chamber after the briefing by Defence Minister Guido Crosetto. "We believe that those on the flotilla deserve respect, that it was wrong to have the La Stampa journalist disembark, and that the LGBT community should also be included. We believe that those who demonstrated peacefully deserve respect. I ask for your help, given that you are such a moderate person, in toning down the rhetoric and, above all, in convincing the Prime Minister to do the same. We need to create a different climate, create the conditions, and not say to tone down the rhetoric and then attack the opposition. Do not sow discord and tension, creating a climate that then becomes difficult and worrying for everyone. Those in positions of responsibility must set an example," he added.
