All against Durigon. After the proposal by the Northern League councilor Claudio Durigon, undersecretary for the economy, to re-title the Latina park dedicated to judges Falcone and Borsellino to the brother of the Duce – Arnaldo Mussolini -, a shower of requests for resignation arrives.
“Durigon’s claims are incompatible with government presence.” Sources of the Nazarene confirm Enrico Letta’s thinking on the Northern League undersecretary. The “condemnation of Durigon’s sentences is strong, because they ignore the anti-fascist values on which the Republic is based and offend the memory of two heroes like Falcone and Borsellino”, the same sources underline, confirming that the “orientation” of the Democratic Party is that of voting the M5s no-confidence motion to the League’s undersecretary, a question that in any case “will be seen when parliamentary work resumes”.
The words of the Italian Left are also harsh: “While the silence of President Draghi continues, silence that has lasted for a few months, I see that, with the clear words of Letta and Conte, the arc of forces calling for the resignation of the Under-secretary Durigon from the government. ”This was stated by the national secretary Nicola Fratoianni. «Resignations that had to be presented – he continues – already because of the opaque relations with questionable sectors in Latina. Resignation even more motivated after the nonsense said about Mussolini’s brother. The government in recent weeks has never answered our questions presented. Now – concludes Fratoianni – the motion of no confidence is the only tool to restore a minimum of dignity ».
Some members of Forza Italia are also critical: «I will vote the motion of no confidence in Durigon presented by the M5S. Because anti-fascism is a founding value of the Republic and because we cannot publish photos of Falcone and Borsellino every year and then remain indifferent. I hope I’m not the only one in FI »writes on Twitter, Elio Vito, deputy of Forza Italia.
«I find serious and disconcerting the proposal of the Undersecretary to the Treasury Durigon to cancel the title of the park of Latina to Falcone and Borsellino, with the aggravating circumstance of wanting to restore it to the memory of Mussolini’s brother. It is abhorrent to want to cancel years of struggle against the mafia and the sacrifice of our best men, moreover in order to restore the memory of the lictorian regime »said the president of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte. “The Movement – adds the former premier – asks that Durigon also fight for this project of his but immediately dismissing the post of undersecretary of state, which requires very different resolutions”. For Conte, Durigon’s words “lay bare the hypocrisy of political forces which, like the League, have no real intention of opposing the underworld of criminal organizations
