Almasri case, Renzi: "They use the law like Instagram"

Milan, Nov. 8 (LaPresse) – “They have a concept of the law as if it were an Instagram story; they say something and think that after 24 hours – poof – it disappears. They don’t realize that in this case, above all, the Minister of Justice has definitively lost face.” This is what Matteo Renzi, leader of Italia Viva, said in an interview with Repubblica. According to Renzi, the clash over justice does not weaken Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni; “on the contrary, she uses it to avoid talking about a topic on which the left should wake up, namely that in Italy there is a striking increase in crime and tax pressure.” “Bartolozzi, Nordio, and Mantovano are the three magistrates who are working against the government’s credibility,” emphasizes the leader of Italia Viva, explaining that while they admit there may have been an “alarm” regarding Italians in Libya if Almasri had not been returned to his country, “the main course would have been to repatriate the torturer and, without creating a tarantella of versions, impose state secrecy.”
