Europeans, Petrucci: 'Audience at the stadium? The Government decides'

 "It is Hope that must decide, it is not enough to tell the technical-scientific Committee you decide. Because it is politics that must decide. It is only an opinion that it had to give, but after the decision it is up to the minister alone and not to the Technical Committee- One of the mysteries of the country is why the CTS cannot also dialogue with others, it was easy to do it with the Pope, with Ratzinger and Wojtyla ". Thus Gianni Petrucci, president of the Italian basketball federation, in an interview granted to Novella Calligaris on Rainews, talks about the question of the possible reopening of the Olympic stadium to fans during the European Championship in June. "The technical-scientific committee seems like an impenetrable wall - adds the former n.1 of Coni -, it has to answer the questions that all other sports ask. For two days I have been in agreement with the president of volleyball, Manfredi, let's say that it was he who told me to do a job together to open indoor sports such as basketball and volleyball, then obviously the other sports disciplines. The public is everything, it is that soul without which it is not an important sporting event, but becomes an event like many others where there is competition, but there is no rest, which is the warmth of the public ".
