Government, Conte: ‘Meloni isn't taking any action on Delmastro – is she being blackmailed?’

Rome, 20 March (LaPresse) – “Delmastro shared these connections with Bartolozzi. I say to the Italian people: can we allow this Ministry of Justice to reform the constitutional pillar of judicial independence? Can we allow this political class, which seeks only to create spaces of impunity? Meloni said, ‘Delmastro isn’t going anywhere.’ But is she being blackmailed? How can you keep him there? What does ‘he was a bit careless’ mean if he set up this company to do business and didn’t even declare it? It would be a false statement in a public document, but they’ve abolished that. Santanchè, who has been investigated multiple times, and Delmastro today with this obscene photo… Delmastro must resign tonight; he can no longer set foot in the ministry. And they must also wipe the slate clean of the Piedmont leadership. Meloni is a prisoner of Delmastro and Santanchè because they have shared a history, battles and secrets, evidently. If it is not a matter of blackmail, why does she not make them resign?”. So said M5S leader Giuseppe Conte speaking on ‘Tagadà’ on La7.
