Farewell to former minister Antonio Martino, he was 79 years old

The former minister Antonio Martino died last night. He was 79 years old. An economist, he had been Foreign Minister of the first Berlusconi government and Minister of Defense in the second and third executive headed by the leader of Forza Italia. He was a member of parliament for six terms, from 1994 to 2018. «It is with real sadness that I participate in mourning for the disappearance of #AntonioMartino. We have often disagreed and perhaps for this reason I have been able to appreciate even more in depth its refinement, coherence and competence. A #vocelibera that we will miss ». The secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, writes on Twitter. And always on Twitter comes the condolences of Antonio Tajani: «Antonio Martino, one of the founders of Forza Italia, minister, protagonist of Italian political life, a sincere and loyal friend, is gone. I have shared many battles with him. A hug to his family. Hi Antonio!”.
