The Senate remembers Jole Santelli. But the majority do not applaud

After the controversy that arose later to the statements of Nicola Morra its Jole Santelli, has arrived a new scar in memory of the former president of the Calabria Region.

No applause

Yesterday, November 25th, a real fight broke out in the Senate for the words released by the grillino Giovanni Endrizzi in defense of Morra, still in office despite requests for resignation from the center-right. Not only that: as shown by a video released on Twitter by the Lega, on the occasion of the memory of Santelli, evoked by Maria Elisabetta Casellati, the majority it did not commemorate the memory of the former governor.

Let’s rewind the tape. The President of the Senate intervened recalling “a great woman“. “We all witnessed his courage, his love for Calabria, a reciprocated love. With her, Calabria has lost a guide, a reference also with respect to that concept of legality that has been repeatedly recalled today”, Casellati added.

At the end of such declarations, almost the entire Chamber gathered warmly applause to greet the colleague who died prematurely. Almost: because while the opposition applauded Casellati’s speech, no gesture from the majority ranks. “President Casellati remembers Jole Santelli, but the majority does not applaud”, Underlined the account of the League.

Endrizzi-Casellati’s answer and answer

Among other things, on the same day, as anticipated it was also staged a very hard question and answer between Senator Endrizzi and Casellati grillino. “A citizen of Padua told me that a true politician can be seen in the courage to say what others are silent“, said Endrizzi defending Nicola Morra and triggering the reaction of the House. Casellati’s reply is dry: “We are talking about a person who has died, there is a code of ethics. You cannot tarnish the name of Jole Santelli“In short, Casellati was forced to interrupt Endrizzi’s intervention.

I never wanted this discussion to have taken place today“, Casellati said.”I still want to remember Jole Santelli as a great woman. It must be said today, which is Women’s Day, out loud. When she passed away, we all testified to her courage and her love for Calabria, a love that was clearly reciprocated. With her, Calabria has lost a reference and a guide also with respect to the concept of legality that has been recalled several times today“. then concluded the President of the Senate at the end of a day full of tensions.
