Bari case, Licia Ronzulli breaks the centre-right front

“I don’t approve of this wild west.” Licia Ronzullivice-president of the Forza Italia group in the Senate, breaks the front of the centre-right aligned against it Antonio Decaro. The prefectural offensive of recent days, the launch of the access commission desired by the minister Matteo Piantedosi to evaluate the hypothesis of the dissolution of the Municipality of Bari, the Berlusconi parliamentarian did not like it.

“As an Apulian it is undeniable that Bari was a devastated city – he says – the mayor Decaro was a good administrator, we will certainly be able to do better than him and we will apply to lead the city and to do better from a political and administrative point of view than what Mayor Decaro did it. But as a guarantor and anti-justice activist as President Berlusconi has always been, I ask myself about the ways I don’t approve. If there have been mafia infiltrations, the Ministry of the Interior will intervene. Forza Italia is a great party where there are There may be different ideas, but I’m happy that some ways were reviewed during the press conference.”

The reference is to the meeting with journalists on Friday, in which the group leader at Palazzo Madama Maurizio Gasparri and the Undersecretary of Justice Francesco Paolo Sistohave partially reversed their statements on 27 February, when he said that the centre-right Apulian parliamentarians had gone to Piantedosi to “evaluate the possibility of dissolution”.

“We didn’t pronounce the s for dissolution even by mistake”, Sisto clarified. Now Ronzulli’s position, which suggests an internal clash within the Azzurri over the party’s “justicialist” turn on the Bari affair.

Then in the evening the senator clarified that “I never said that I didn’t like the launch of a commission of inquiry wanted by Minister Piantedosi, nor do I think so, so much so that in my statement I explained that if in Bari there if they were mafia infiltrations, the Ministry of the Interior will intervene. Consequently, I will not go into the merits, because I am not a jurist, but the investigations of the Interior Ministry will serve to clarify and clear the field of suspicions of all kinds”.

And then, Ronzulli reiterates: “I not only shared the method adopted in flaunting the request for access to the documents and some of the tones of the press conference which gave Mayor Decaro the opportunity to assume the role of victim. I am and remain a supporter of guarantees, always inspired by the battles of President Berlusconi.”
