Genoa, 8 May. (askanews) – “Personally I have not spoken to President Toti, whoever had the opportunity to do so found him calm and willing to clarify this unpleasant situation as soon as possible”: said the vice president of the Liguria Region Alessandro Piana, who replaced Toti leading the regional council after the governor’s arrest, speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the departure from Genoa of the fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia.
“We didn’t stop even for a minute, all of us yesterday kept the commitments we made previously”, he added. “We are always – continued Piana – also wait-and-see regarding the decisions that will be taken in the political secretariats”.
“I will continue to hear from the political secretaries and I am available to all the secretariats and all the coordinators, as well as the councillors, group leaders and councillors”.
The opposition’s request for resignation belongs “to the party game, if the roles were reversed we would have done the same”, explained Piana. “They have always asked for resignation even on presumed or unreal facts – he continued – that’s fine, it’s the game of the parties, we shouldn’t be scandalized or stiffened by attitudes of this type”.
