Lamorgese denounces the mayor of Messina

(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 26 - The behavior of the mayor of Messina, Cateno DeLuca, has been reported to the judicial authority "because it is reprehensible from the point of view of the violation of article 290 of the Criminal Code (Vilipendio dellaRepubblica, of the constitutional institutions and of the armed forces) ". The decision, informs the Interior Ministry, was taken by the Interior Minister, Luciana Lamorgese, "following the severely offensive words, and detrimental to the image for the entire institution that she represents, pronounced publicly and threatening and vulgar contoni". "Precisely in an emergency phase, the sense of solidarity and the spirit of loyal collaboration should prevail - explains the Interior Ministry - the persistent expressions of offense and contempt, repeated for days at the same time by the mayor of Messina at the Ministry of the Interior, appear unacceptable, and therefore criminally censurable, for the respect that is due to all citizens, to republican institutions and their representatives "
