Turin, 25 December (LaPresse) – ‘Many, many wishes for serenity, health, success and peace for the world around us.’ These were the words of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini in a video message on social media. ‘I am happy because after five years of trials, travels and testimonies, this is the first Christmas I can celebrate with my family, no longer as a suspect or defendant, but as an acquitted, free Italian, because I defended the security, borders and dignity of my country,’ he explained. "I won't go on and on. I hope that 2026 brings you everything that 2025 struggled to bring to your homes. Best wishes, best wishes and more best wishes," he added.
