"
I believe what Undersecretary Durigon said is intolerable
and I believe it is not compatible with his tenure in the government."
Thus the Minister of Agricultural and Forestry Policies, Stefano Patuanelli (M5s)
, on the sidelines of the inspection in the areas of Oristano affected by the fires in July.
"I hope that the no-confidence motion will not be reached - he added - I think it will be necessary, in fact, a step back on the part of Durigon"
.
"I will vote the motion of no confidence in Durigon presented by the M5S. Because anti-fascism is a founding value of the Republic and why we cannot publish photos of Falcone and Borsellino every year and then remain indifferent. I hope not to be the only one in FI", he written on Twitter,
Elio Vito, deputy of Forza Italia
. Andrea De Maria, deputy of the Democratic Party, secretary of the Chamber of Deputies: "Thanks to Enrico Letta for the very clear words he said about Durigon.
The Democratic Party thus takes
sides
in defense of the values of anti-fascism after the appeal of the Anpi
. The right part for our democracy ".
"While President Draghi's silence continues, a silence that has lasted for a few months, I see that, with the clear words of Letta and Conte,
the arc of forces calling for the resignation of Undersecretary Durigon from the government is increasingly extended
", says the national secretary of the Italian Left
Nicola Fratoianni
. 'Now - concludes Fratoianni - the motion of no confidence is the only tool to restore a minimum of dignity'.
"Undersecretary Durigon had already proved his inadequacy. Now, with the proposal to change the name of Piazza Falcone e Borsellino in Latina to dedicate it to Arnaldo Mussolini, he has crossed an insurmountable limit - says the senator of LeU Francesco Laforgia -. I'm ready to vote the motion of no confidence against him and I think that President Draghi must distance himself from a member of his government who practices historical revisionism by tarnishing Constitutional principles, anti-fascism and two symbolic figures of the fight against the mafias such as Falcone and Purse". "It is not admissible - he adds - No need to maintain the political balance on which this government is founded can be a justification".
For the deputy M5S, Rosalba Cimino "the Northern League player Claudio Durigon must be disheartened, unless he decides to resign. We cannot accept that the government of a constitutionally anti-fascist country will occupy a place who winks at neo-fascism trying to obscure the memory of two real Italian heroes: Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Arnaldo Mussolini, to whom he would like to name the park that bears the name of the two magistrates, was the brother and right hand of the Duce in his national propaganda campaigns, for which Durigon can try all the justifications of the case, which he is already doing, but history and our Constitution are against him ".
