Security Bill: Cuperlo (PD) makes a wry remark and calls on Cetto La Qualunque to speak in the Chamber

Rome, 23 April (LaPresse) – Cetto La Qualunque makes an appearance in the Chamber of Deputies. The Democratic Party MP, Gianni Cuperlo, quotes a speech on the repatriation bonus as Antonio Albanese would have delivered it in the famous film. “Citizens, sovereign people, taxpayers,” Cuperlo read out in the chamber, “however one might choose to judge it, this decree inspired by me is deeply moving, because at last the State thinks like me. Because you – and I mean you, lawyer – when the migrant arrives, what do you do? Do you help them? Well done: solidarity, rights and humanity. However, if you send him home, you’ll receive 615 euros straight away. And this, to put it brilliantly, is the free market of conscience, because the real question is always the same: is it legal to stand on the side of the Constitution? You, lawyer, have the answer within you: it’s a holiday package. Welcome, goodbye and thank you for choosing our law firm. But €615 isn’t much. If I were mayor, I’d introduce a loyalty bonus: if you repatriate one, 615; if you repatriate two, 1,000; if you repatriate more than three, you might just be in with a chance of a post as Undersecretary. And then, in any case, we’ll introduce a loyalty card: for every five migrants, a free voter. “In fact,” the state must be clear. If you want security, you have to invest, because ultimately the message is: if you stay, it’s a problem; if you leave, it’s a boon for us. Citizens, this isn’t politics: this is, ‘without a doubt’, creative accounting, and in this regard, in all modesty, I am a professional,” concluded Cuperlo.
