Discussions continue regarding the “New Year’s Eve Explosion”, in which the gun of Fratelli d’Italia MP Emanuele Pozzolo was fired and slightly injured the brother-in-law of a man escorted by the Undersecretary of Justice. Andrea Delmastro.
Giorgia Meloni is currently quiet but rumors speak of a prime minister being angered by another medley by a member of his party.
Democratic Party attacked Rai: “Provide information about the Pozzolo incident”
The first debate of 2024 suddenly ignites politics. While the Prime Minister’s party tries to downplay the incident without much convincing (the events are objectively serious), attention shifts to the later hours of the incident. According to reconstructions, Pozzolo at first refused to undergo the gunpowder test, called the Stub, and only agreed to any sample of residue at 7.25am. A hesitation that does not go unnoticed and causes harsh reactions.
“At the end of the year, the news about the shooting involving two representatives of the FDI, undersecretary Delmastro and deputy Pozzolo, is becoming more and more dramatic,” explains Sandro Ruotolo, chief information officer at the national secretariat of the Democratic Party. and Gr Rai to TeleMeloni to inform the public. It is a very real fact that a member of the Republic refuses to undergo a gunpowder test. We’re not in South America. We have the right to know everything about this purely political story. We expect public and private television and radio stations to provide information while respecting the freedom of reporting.” A direct attack on the prime minister is also coming from the Dems: Senator Simona Malpezzi said about X: “Nothing is normal in this story. Especially the silence of President Giorgia Meloni,” he writes.
Ferrara (M5S): “They put their privilege before morality”
“After the Prime Minister lying in the parliament and the minister stopping the train, today we find ourselves face to face with a ‘gunslinger’ parliamentarian within the Italian Brotherhood.” This is how Laura Ferrara, Member of the European Parliament and the new coordinator of the European and International Relations Committee of the 5 Star Movement, comments. “The representative of Giuseppe Conte’s party continues: It is unacceptable that MP Emanuele Pozzolo evaded the stab test by invoking parliamentary immunity to confirm the presence of gunpowder traces. They continue to grant him privileges, even if they are unacceptable.” Political ethics”.
Gendarmerie confiscated Pozzolo’s weapons
Meanwhile, the province of Biella would confiscate all weapons in the possession of the Fratelli d’Italia MP and initiate proceedings to enforce Article 39 of the Consolidated Public Safety Laws Act, which stipulates that the possession of weapons “is deemed capable of abusing people”. As far as we understand, Pozzolo will be heard by the authorities in the next few weeks and after official steps, the governor may decide to cancel his gun license.
