Calls for resignation are pouring in from the opposition. Fratelli d’Italia speaks instead of “rent-mongering”. Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida, brother-in-law of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, got off the Frecciarossa train, which was experiencing long delays, at an extraordinary stop in Ciampino (Rome). Yesterday there were heavy delays across the entire network due to the fault between Naples and the capital. So why is this a “chance”? Let’s proceed in order.
Minister Lollobrigida and the delayed high-speed train
Minister Lollobrigida, as he restructured today CompleteHe was heading to Afragola, Napoli, which gives you ample space on the front page, from where he had to go to Caivano for a corporate launch and then return to Rome to record the broadcast of ‘Avanti Popolo’ hosted by Nunzia De Girolamo. . Frecciarossa 9519 left Turin at 7:00 and headed for Salerno; It had accumulated 111 minutes of delay, almost hours of delay. Trenitalia had to divert all its Frecce and Intercity trains to the old Rome-Naples railway line. The RFI authorized the train conductor to make an extraordinary stop, during which the minister, who had boarded Roma Termini around 12 o’clock, got off with his staff and took the blue car towards Caivano.
Trenitalia would confirm that after the re-departure from Termini, the stop was in fact arranged at Ciampino station, where the institutions on board disembark to fulfill corporate commitments. This opportunity is provided by the State Railways regulations. There will be no further delays for passengers. The minister took advantage of a “temporary stop” at Frecciarossa: only one or two people from his entourage could get off with him. But it is not entirely clear whether the minister or his team requested an extraordinary stay, or whether the decision was decided independently by someone else, regardless of whether the politician was on board or not. Extraordinary pauses are certainly not common; It is clear that other travelers heading south had no other means of transportation to reach their destination. In any case, the debate was now ready to flare up.
Lollobrigida and Frecciarossa countered the attack: “Unfair arrogance.” “To resign”
“Minister Lollobrigida cannot turn Italian trains into blue cars,” comments Andrea Casu, Member of Parliament from the Pd group presidency in the Parliament. – As far as we learned from the press today, the extraordinary pause imposed by Lollobrigida in Ciampino is an act of betrayal. It’s an unfair arrogance and a slap in the face to all the citizens who were on the same train as him and were already late, and to all the people like him who face daily inefficiencies caused by the melon government’s lack of transportation funding. “We will immediately submit a question to the parliament for the immediate clarification of this ugly story.”
Ministers: “If Minister Lollobrigida really stopped a high-speed train at a station on the Rome-Naples route, got off, then got into the car and continued on, we are faced with an unprecedented abuse of power – Attacks Matteo Renzi on social media – Ministers can use the State’s public transport, but all citizens “They cannot stop their trains. If the news is confirmed, we will ask for Lollobrigida’s resignation in the Parliament.”
Senator Enrico Borghi, also from Italia Viva, is also highly critical of the Melonian base: “The news circulating regarding Minister Lollobrigida’s claim for a private stop of a high-speed train on the Rome-Naples route is extremely worrying: the role of improper use of public services is unacceptable for us.” Ministers can use state resources, but they should not interfere with the railway services of citizens, abusing them in a feudal way. If this news is confirmed, it is our duty to ask for the resignation of Minister Lollobrigida in the Chamber”.
“A train was delayed and Minister Francesco Lollobrigida, in order not to miss the opportunity to cut a ribbon at an event, stopped to get into a blue car with his staff. Giorgia Meloni’s brother-in-law jumped with a parachute. We extend our solidarity to all the passengers on the Frecciarossa in which Lollobrigida was traveling: Relatives to the Prime Minister “To not be means to silently endure the abuses of those who use public transport. It was his private taxi.” So on a note there is Mario Furore, MP of the 5 Star Movement.
Brothers of Italy: “Plunder”
The party throws water on the fire: “Yesterday, Frecciarossa train 9519, which left Turin for Salerno, was delayed by almost two hours due to a malfunction on the high-speed line. Minister of Agriculture Francesco was also on that train. Lollobrigida set off to Caivano for the opening of a new city park to Naples Afragola. Trenitalia confirmed that a stop has been arranged at Ciampino station to guarantee everyone who wants to get off. So not just the minister and his staff. Nothing is clearer. This morning in Caivano, where the State returned with the Meloni government to guarantee security We read comments against Lollobrigida by sleazy jackals attacking a minister who tried to fulfill institutional commitments by any means necessary to confirm its existence. Rich. There is no time for sterile debates anymore: the vultures will take care of it”, says Senator Antonio Iannone, regional commissioner of the Brotherhood of Italy in Campania.
The alleged “adpersonam” stance provokes debate among disbelief, irony, demands for explanation and a hint of Italian resignation. Be that as much as possible, #lollobrigida It is among the most commented hashtags on all social networks today.
I remember the wonderful stop #red arrow In Città della Pieve when the government was Draghi. Or these #arezzo And #closed In the time of the Boschi and Tuscans. And for Delrio, Reggio and many others are advertising personalities. At least #Lollobrigida He did not impose a new stop on everyone

And good looking #Lollobrigida. This is what a true patriot who cares about his nation and citizens does. If the trains do not arrive on time, as in the time of the Duce and the hierarchy Graziani, you stop and unload them, what’s the problem? Blue train. Other passengers care.

From food sovereignty for Italy to railway sovereignty for himself. If the news that Lollobrigida stopped the train turns out to be true, he should not wait any longer and should rush to the Parliament and make a statement.
Citizens who are already under pressure due to the transportation system…
