"Worse than that even with the wildest imagination. Italy does not deserve this disfigurement. Putin celebrates."
The secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, writes on Twitter, commenting on the election of Lorenzo Fontana to the presidency of the Chamber.
“They told us in this electoral campaign that it would be moderation, continuity, choices for the country, it seems to me that the choice that was made today as Speaker of the Chamber was absolutely against the interest of the country.
A choice that moves Italy further and further away from the heart of Europe.
A wrong choice that confirms what we have always thought, that this is a majority increasingly towards sovereignty and the right.
He will find very happy people out of Italy, Putin among them, a wrong choice for us, who are convinced and even more so now in the opposition, now that the majority has made this choice ”.
This was stated by Enrico Letta, Secretary of the Democratic Party, leaving Montecitorio in Rome.
