“It is clear that we are not facing one of the many controversies that agitate the political world, but a decidedly disturbing situation that risks having serious consequences”. The day after the anarchist demonstrations on the Cospito case and amidst the controversy that is inflaming the political debate, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni responds with a letter of appeal published by Corriere della Sera.
“I find it paradoxical – writes the prime minister – that we cannot hold left-wing parties responsible for their choices, when the object of controversy these days is the visit to Cospito of a qualified representative of the Democratic Party, at a time when the prisoner has intensified his efforts to communicate with the outside world, as can be seen in the notes from the judicial authority that judged the case, released by the media. And what impresses me, even more than that visit, is that after having learned – for what the press reported on the case – of the relationship between Alfredo Cospito and the mafia bosses in harsh prison regimes, and knowing full well how convenient it is for the mafia to question the 41bis, highly authorized exponents of the Democratic Party continued to call for the repeal of the institution for Cospito, pretending not to understand the implications that this choice would have had, especially in terms of the fight against organized crime”.
Now let everyone tone it down, including the Brothers in Italy. This is the meaning of the prime minister’s appeal, which reiterates that there is no prerequisite for the resignation of undersecretary Demastro. “It’s an appeal I make to everyone, politicians, journalists, commentators. So that tomorrow we don’t have to look back and discover that, not understanding the seriousness of what was happening, we ended up being responsible for an escalation that could take us everywhere.”
While the majority and opposition are bickering over the case, the weather is dangerously and rapidly heating up. “And he spares no one – emphasizes Meloni – as demonstrated by the posters that appeared yesterday at La Sapienza University in Rome, which define Murderers the President of the Republic and the members of the various governments, without distinction of political color”. An escalation that can take us anywhere.
