Florence, 6 June. (askanews) – The position of the deputy minister of Infrastructure Galeazzo Bignami on compensation for the floods in Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany “is a shameful thing, this Right has a political use of the institutions”. This was stated by Elly Schlein, secretary of the Democratic Party, on the sidelines of an event in support of the candidate for mayor of Florence, Sara Funaro. “From the first moment of the floods, instead of collaborating as we proposed in the name of national unity, they decided to politicize in the most the flood and the reconstruction were terrible.
We remember – continues Schlein – that for entirely political reasons they did not want to make Bonaccini commissioner for reconstruction and the results are visible. After a year, businesses, families and farmers are still waiting for the 100% compensation promised by Giorgia Meloni and that’s not all because today we heard the words of a deputy minister of the Meloni government who not only does not apologize to the flood victims compared to the expectations but even blackmail by saying that they will be able to have these compensations which are their right as flood victims only if they do not criticize and only if they have no political sympathy for the Democratic Party.” “I have never seen the institutions used in this way, they have no sense of responsibility , they are not fit to govern,” concludes Schlain.
