Putin has raised our bills by 10 times and is now trying to ingest in the electoral campaign. We are not sure, but that is why I I ask for the establishment of a commission of inquiry between Italian parties and the Russian world ".

We ask the government, if it has any evidence it must be immediately shown and object of the political debate. We ask the government to say it immediately, we ask for clarity, it is in itself a very serious affair ".
This was said by the secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, in a zoom with the candidates.
Meloni: 'It is important to clarify'
"The EU in recent months has already extensively given examples of how in other countries Russia has tried in recent years to increase its sphere of influence using 360-degree tools. and it is important to know if the choices that some make are convinced or in some way influenced by some interest ".
Giorgia Meloni
said so
on Radio 24. And if it emerges that Lega has taken money from Moscow ?, the leader of the Brothers of Italy was asked: "I don't think it will happen. We have been talking about it for months, but nothing has emerged".

"Repubblica and Volker bring us the evidence. Since they are not there, I think the lawsuit is inevitable".
Berlusconi, FI foreign to each other Russian funding
"The reassurances of Copasir obviously make me happy. But I really know nothing about this story, except what I read in the newspapers and press agencies. Only two things I can say with certainty: first of all that Forza Italia is obviously not involved. in any way in this matter. "
This was stated by the president of Forza Italia Silvio Berlusconi interviewed in Controcorrente, on Rete 4 talking about the US dossier on Russian funding to parties from different countries "." Our funding - he continued - is the most transparent there can be also because up to as long as the law allowed it, I took full responsibility for it.
The second certainty is that the only funds coming from Moscow that have so far been demonstrated and ascertained are those that the Italian Communist Party collected for all the years of the Cold War, even when Soviet nuclear missiles were aimed at our country.
And this is in the family album of the Italian left, it is part of a story they have never denied.

"Never asked and never took money, rubles, euros, dinars, dollars from Russia".
Lega leader
Matteo Salvini,
guest of Non stop news on RTL 102.5, says this.
"Strange that every time, ten days after the vote, these fake news arrive: there have been open investigations for years, nothing has ever been found because there is nothing. It is another thing to work for peace and try to stop the war. If someone has taken money, tell it. It seems to me that someone especially on the left uses this story not to mention Italy, bills, folders and work. Those who help the League do it in Italy, in a transparent and spontaneous way ", he concludes.
Hope: Italians must know
"As a government we have never discussed these Russian funds. If our political forces have received them, the Italians must know. There can be no doubts of any kind on such delicate issues."
