“Proud of being a Camorra”. It would be the statement made in a dry way, without mincing words, by Pasquale Del Prete in 2020, in a rally for the municipal elections in Frattamaggiore, according to what was denounced on Twitter by the co-spokesperson for Green Europe Angelo Bonelli. “Today Del Prete is a candidate for the Chamber with the action of Carlo Calenda – underlined Bonelli -. Calenda’s way of gathering consensus is embarrassing ». But the number one of Action does not fit and speaks of “ignoble fake news”.
Bonelli’s video accuses a candidate from Calenda’s party: “He said ‘proud to be Camorra'”, Action replies: “Groundless controversy”
“The person in question is totally clean, you have never had a judicial problem – underlined Calenda, defending his candidate -. He protested against the dissolution of a municipality that never came to naught. This is not journalism, it is looting ». «If you consider a Camorra guy (never investigated), I am too. We are beyond justicialism – he added -. Because there is no judicial measure. We are in fact looting ».
In a note, the action press office has already clarified that that sentence was extrapolated “from any context” and that “it is quite clear that he was certainly not boasting of being a criminal”.
