No euro of the money of the State spent, “not even for a coffee”, for the failure to advise the Major Events of the Ministry of Culture. And no dangerous access of the doctor Mary Rosaria Boccia to documents of a confidential nature, let alone those relating to the organisation of the G7 Culture. Gennaro Sangiuliano resists. For now. Called to Chigi Palace from the Prime Minister Meloniconfirms his version of the facts, written down in black and white in a letter sent to The Press. In which he defines himself as the victim of an “undeniable media storm» in which, he complains, «it is difficult to distinguish authentic fake news from real facts.”
Resists the pressure of Mary Rosaria Bocciathe woman who claims the broken promise and who dared to challenge not only the wrath of the minister but also of the Prime Ministercriticized for not even giving her the honor of being quoted: “this person has a name, a surname and a title”. After having already denied yesterday, in a short time, the statements of Sangiuliano reported by Melons on TV, today he returns to lash out against what he calls “a patch worse than the hole”. And he increases the dose of his accusations to such an extent that it seems inevitable that the minister will resign.
There is the question of the possible damage to the treasury And Bowlin one of his early morning social deluges, accuses: «I have never paid anything, I have always been told that the ministry reimbursed the councillors’ expenses so that all the trips were always organised by the Chief of the Minister’s Secretariat». And to Sangiuliano’s statements on the fact that she never took part in the operational meetings on G7hints: «So we never had operational meetings? Site inspections? We never exchanged information?». But above all he launches a warning. «Are we sure that the nomination didn’t happen? To me the voice that asked to tear up the nomination sounded feminine… shall we listen to it again together?». Bowl does not explain, leaves the warning hanging. According to rumors reported by Dagospiathe female voice that would have asked to tear up the nomination would be that of the minister’s wife, a journalist of the Rai. The post of Bowl seems to indicate that he would be in possession of the recording.
But those of the entrepreneur of Pompei These are accusations that deserve further clarification between the premier and the minister: summoned to Chigi Palace, Sangiuliano he comes out after an hour and a half and then dictates an official statement in which he reiterates “the truth of my statements” on the non-existence of circumstances that could prefigure the damage to the treasury and jeopardize the safety of the G7 Culture which, in the meantime, in case of doubt, could see the key event of the gathering cancelled: the visit to the archaeological excavations of Pompeii seems destined to fail, concentrating the event on Naples.
From theoppositionmeanwhile, requests for clarification continue to pour in with questions that carry the same premieror the minister, to report as soon as possible in Parliament. «It is a serious affair that dishonours the institutions», underlines the Pd Irene Manzihypothesizing “a probable blackmail” against Sangiuliano. Avs asks, among other things, to clarify whether the woman “had taken advantage of the blue car and why the minister Sangiuliano requested the change of escort in July without giving any explanations”. But some of the organizers of the events to which Sangiuliano And Bowl they participated together claim either to have offered the stay or, as in the case of Taormina Taobukcertify that Bowl «he personally paid for the trip and the hotel».
In his letter of explanation Sangiuliano He also admits to having given instructions to his offices to start the investigation for the appointment of Bowl as a councilor but then decided to withdraw “accepting some of the doubts of the Toilet on the possibility, even if merely potential, of situations of conflict of interest“. And “when did he find them? During the summer holidays? Under the beach umbrella did he check my potential conflicts of interest? And above all, what are they?” he asks Bowl. And maybe not just her.
