Renzi: ‘My secret meetings with Vannacci are pure fiction’

Rome, 31 January (LaPresse) – “What Corriere della Sera writes about secret meetings between me and Vannacci at a rowing club in Rome is not only false: it is unbelievable. I am frankly shocked that experienced journalists would invent news stories out of thin air on commission and fail to carry out the necessary, routine checks. It is one thing to have more or less credible background information, but it is quite another to invent stories.” This was stated in a note by the leader of Iv, Matteo Renzi.
