Rome, 2 June (LaPresse) – ‘I would like to remind Giorgia Meloni that on 2 June 1946, following a referendum, the Italian Republic was born.’ These were the words of Angelo Bonelli, speaking on the sidelines of the closing event of the referendum campaign for citizenship in Rome. ‘Today, Giorgia Meloni has called for democratic desertion,’ continued the leader of AVS, who considers the gesture ‘very serious coming from a prime minister who should also be a guarantor of democracy,’ emphasising that ‘thank goodness we have Mattarella.’
