Ignazio La Russa promotes Sergio Mattarella at the Sanremo Festival. For the first time, the President of the Republic was invited by the Ariston Theater. And the President of the Senate also positively judged Roberto Benigni’s monologue on the Constitutional Charter because he believes that talking about the foundations of the state is always a positive fact. «Talking about the Constitution is never wrong – said Ignazio La Russa in an interview with Corriere della Sera – If this is the best place or if the speech was the best possible, it is not for me to judge. It certainly has nothing to do with Mattarella who was invited and went and I don’t think I knew in detail everything that would have been said on stage ». About Benigni’s monologue, La Russa explains: “As regards the first part of the Constitution, that of principles and values, I believe that nobody intends to change anything and it should be celebrated with reason. Regarding the modernization of the second part of the Constitution, however, I remember that Benigni himself voted yes in the referendum on the Renzi reform, which did not pass. Allowed eh, for God’s sake, but that was a big change ».
Finally, regarding Article 21, concluded by Benigni’s intervention, the President of the Senate says he is “very much in agreement. The first correct criticism of fascism is precisely about this, having coerced and impeded these freedoms. Those that today the Constitution guarantees to all. And he adds: «Along with the first, article 21 is also my favorite of the Constitution».
