Salis thanked him very much for the call and the speed of response and explained that, with his letter, he wanted to point out the disparity in treatment between two Italian citizens.
“The difference between our system, inspired by European values, and their system” determined this situation which led to unequal treatment between two Italian citizens, the President of the Republic said, according to what we understand. Furthermore, he underlined to Ilaria Salis’ father how “this disparity affects our public opinion”. Salis ingratiated himself and Mattarella told him that they could talk again later.
