Rome, 24 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The controversy over women’s skirts? I made a comparison that some might not have liked; I apologised if anyone took offence, but when talking about women and men, I said the same things about both. So: don’t judge by appearances, but look a little deeper. I’m sorry that anyone took offence; it strikes me as an overblown controversy. I was only sorry that quite a few on the left even took it out on my family, but that is always profoundly wrong. The message was: do not trust appearances, but look a little deeper, even when it comes to political parties.” So said the Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, speaking via video link on the programme ‘Dritto e rovescio’ on Rete4.
