November 25, 2020 "I must apologize to all those people who, having experienced the suffering of an imponderable, excruciating disease, which does not give the possibility to build the future, have felt in those words an offense to their condition. To those people I I must apologize, having pronounced a syncopated sentence, without having completed the thought, I have given my side to all interpretations ".

This was stated by the president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, Nicola Morra, speaking in the Chamber on his words on Jole Santelli.

"I apologize to all those people who felt offended - he added - those words could also be interpreted in that way, but it is also true that perhaps someone is exploiting the issue".

"In my political action I have always looked to the weakest, the frail, the suffering. I am Calabrian and I am ashamed for the conditions in which Calabrian health is in," he added.

Mine is a desperate cry to the institutions and to my government which still has difficulty in appointing an ad acta commissioner.

I have only one master, it's called truth. "

tough confrontation in the Senate Chamber between President Elisabetta Casellati and 5-Star Senator Giovanni Endrizzi, around the memory of the President of the Calabria Region, Jole Santelli, and words of the president of the Anti-Mafia Commission, Nicola Morra.

Tallini, which the Anti-Mafia Commission declared "unpresentable."

Casellati then intervenes who, with great enthusiasm, says: "We cannot and must not speak of a person who is absent, let alone one who is dead, it is not possible and it is not possible to speak of a deceased person ", and again:" You cannot tarnish the name of Jole Santelli ".

uvida the reaction of Endrizzi: "She does not listen to me or was already prepared to challenge me, I said that Jole Santelli was a high profile person".

Casellati replies: "Don't allow yourself because otherwise I'll send you out, don't allow yourself against the presidency or send you out, have respect for institutional figures".

The spirits then calm down and Endrizzi continues his speech, centered on Tallini and his ties with the underworld subject to precautionary custody measures, but does not end it, with the President of the Senate merely saying: "It is true that it is been interrupted several times ", but" sorry, time is up "and" you have doubled it ".  

IV has left the Senate after the words of grillino Endrizzi: "The words spoken by Senator 5Stelle are indecent for which an apology must arrive, and it is shameful that the Senate room lends itself to a quarrel about a recently deceased person, on the day we remember the battle against violence against women. Our fond memory goes to Jole Santelli and her family, our gesture serves to stigmatize this shameful scene we do not want to be part of " , says President Pharaoh.
