Milan, March 19 (LaPresse) – Did she anger everyone by reading the Ventotene Manifesto? "Did I make people angry? I read a text. I don't understand: can the text be distributed but not read?" This is what Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said when speaking to reporters upon her arrival in Brussels, after the uproar in the Chamber. When pointed out that Ventotene is a symbol, the Prime Minister responded: "It’s a symbol whose content I reread. I don't understand what's offensive about reading the text."
"I didn’t distort it, I read it. I read it literally. But not for what the text said 80 years ago, but for the fact that it was distributed last Saturday. So, a text that 80 years ago had its context, if you distribute it today, I have to read it and ask you if that’s what you believe in. Period," Meloni added.
