Rome, 10 May. “The words against Sicily pronounced publicly by Lollobrigida in Parliament are a scandal. Not only does the Minister of Agriculture demonstrate that he has no awareness of what it means to be an island and what the daily difficulties of those who live in the Region are. But he reveals the Meloni government’s total disinterest in our Sicily, where around 5 million citizens live. He should apologize to them as soon as possible. But, this time, they won’t be enough. He must resign.” Thus Antonio Nicita, Democratic Party senator and candidate for the European elections in the Islands constituency.
“Underlining that ‘fortunately’ the drought this year will affect the South – and in particular Sicily – more than the North, the minister did not commit any gaffe, but expressed a true declaration of intent by the majority: to split it in half the country, penalize Southern Italy, wage war on the most vulnerable. Nothing more than what was already foreseen in the squalid differentiated autonomy project created by Calderoli on behalf of Salvini. He is shameful”.
