The former ambassador Elena Basile "answered us during the night, a shameful answer in which she blames the newspapers that have misrepresented" and which according to her "should rectify. We take note of her answer and proceed with the complaint".
Thus to ANSA Luciano Belli Paci, Liliana Segre's son.
Basile had attacked the senator for life who, he said, would be tormented "just by the thought of Jewish children".
"I agree with the right arguments and the words that emerged unanimously from all the groups and I embrace Senator Liliana Segre who we hope to see here in the Chamber soon. We extend our greetings to her".
The Senate Assembly stands up with a long applause given to the parliamentarian, after the words of the president Ignazio La Russa which conclude the interventions in the Chamber on the issue of Elena Basile's video against the life senator Liliana Segre.
"There is nothing more false than the statements made by Elena Basile to Liliana Segre".
Dem Francesco Verducci says this in the Senate chamber, referring to the video of the former Farnesina manager who attacks the senator for life.
"A story - says Verducci - disturbing in its enormous falsity", "the story concerns Segre, but it concerns us all due to the moral authority that the senator instills in this Assembly".
According to the parliamentarian, the words of the video "provoked the indignation of all Italian citizens for the offense against Liliana Segre".
"With his strength and his simplicity - underlines Verducci - in these days of profound torment he spoke on several occasions about the anguish and difficulty of not being able to sleep because of what is happening, and in particular, within the terrifying conflict, the anguish for all the children who, in his words, 'are Sacred without distinction of nationality and faith, who suffer and die, who pay because others have not been able to find the path to peace. Children killed because of the hatred of adults , they who would be the future of brotherly peoples. There is no night that I, a desperate grandmother, am not awake."
