Middle East, Crosetto: ‘No to using Gaza as a weapon against the government, there are many madmen around’

Rome, 25 September (LaPresse) – ‘The Prime Minister is right when he says that it is dangerous and unacceptable to use the situation in Gaza as a weapon against the Italian government, which has done nothing but help that population’. This was stated by Defence Minister Guido Crosetto, speaking to reporters in the Senate after the briefing held in the Chamber on the Flotilla. “There has never been a day when Prime Minister Meloni, first and foremost, and Minister Tajani, have not worked hard to try to achieve a truce and peace, so it is totally unfair to accuse this government of being complicit, as has been done. And it hurts because these violent words in the minds of weak people, and there are many, or of a madman, because one madman is enough, can be dangerous,‘ Crosetto stressed, adding that he understands ’President Meloni’s tension. She doesn’t like it, I don’t like it. I don’t like the fact that my children, like hers, live under police protection. And doing so because one serves a country is something that leaves its mark after a while, and so every now and then someone explodes, and it is right that they explode’.
