Rome, 6 Aug. (LaPresse) – “They would like to ask the questions and provide the answers themselves, but today that wasn’t possible. And you mustn’t ask me whether this hearing went well; you must ask Giorgia Meloni if she is satisfied, because she is the mastermind behind this ‘firing squad’ that is being brought before and carried out in the Covid Committee, and behind the whole media circus – thanks to friendly press and TV outlets – that has long been slinging mud to undermine me politically.” So said M5S President Giuseppe Conte on the sidelines of the hearing in the Covid Committee. “So I’m sending her a message, given that these petty tricks are short-lived, because the moment will come when I’m here and I’m standing here speaking,” he added. “I say to Giorgia Meloni: wouldn’t it be better to confront me politically and transparently? I’m here. Let’s engage in political debate as serious, responsible politicians and try to avoid these little tricks, these petty ploys, because they lead nowhere.”
