Controversy over Lolloprigida: “The train is late, Friciarossa stops to expel the minister.” Renzi and M5S: resignation – Corriere.it

A new controversy plagues Agriculture Minister Francesco Lolloprigida. A Frecciarossa carrying an FdI representative stopped to allow the minister to disembark as the train was running behind schedule.. Freciarossa is an unusual stop in Turin-Salerno at Ciampino station, a few kilometers south of the capital. To go down with Lolobriquita – he says Daily reality In giving news – only one or two people, related to the minister’s entourage. A stop confirmed by Trenitalia Al Fatto and anticipated by Railway Regulation. In fact, Trentalia’s internal sources explain, Trentalia’s request was satisfied because of the safety and regulatory conditions of the service. Freciarossa 9519, leaving Turin at 7am yesterday for Salerno, was delayed by 111 minutes due to a fault on the route from Rome and Naples. It was precisely in that train that Lolobrigitta boarded, at the Rome termini, at about 12 o’clock. The minister went to Naples Afracola, from where he was to go to Kaivano for the inauguration of the new urban park. Due to the delay, it was decided to leave in the blue car. Sources close to the minister – he describes the truth – “The absence of the government would have been a disappointment to many who were waiting for the event to start, especially children and students who flocked to school. And the park in the rain , both companies. Unfortunately the train was delayed by about 100 minutes. Do not disappoint the citizens and respect the commitment Kaiwano has made with the community. , the minister would have even gone on foot”.

The news provoked strong political reactions. “When Minister Lolloprigida stops a high-speed train at a railway station on the Rome-Naples route, gets off and continues in a car, it is an unprecedented abuse of power. Ministers can use government vehicles but cannot stop all citizen trains. If this news is confirmed, we will ask for Lolobrigita’s resignation in the Chamber,” writes Matteo Renzi on social media.. “Minister Lolobrigida does not deny what he did Reflects a distress signal Politics against the citizens, especially at such a critical moment, when a conveyance was used to serve the citizens, was a privilege of an individual, and I cannot say whether this was ever done by a minister of the first republic. M5S supports the leader Giuseppe Conte. “In a normal country, a minister who does something like this should resign,” reiterates M5S deputy Agostino Santillo. .who made the star Stefano Buffagni addresses the Prime Minister. “Stop this illusion of omnipotence”. Former M5S Alessandro de Bautista He brands the affair a “disgrace” and asks the minister to take a step back, commenting: “If this had happened to a minister in a centre-left government, Melo would 100% have asked for his resignation”. “Minister Lolloprigida cannot turn Italian trains into her blue car – Dem Andrea Casu – says. Lolloprigida’s extraordinary stop at Ciampino, we learned from the press today, was an act of unjustifiable arrogance”. “A manner of conduct which exudes an arrogance of authority worthy of the wretched Marquis del Grillo,” he commented. Democrat Stefano Vaccari. “Giorgia Meloni’s brother-in-law, parachuting into a government post is not a funny joke. We express our solidarity with the same Frecciarossa passengers that Lollobrigida traveled in: not being associated with the Prime Minister means enduring the abuses of public transport users as quietly as their private taxi,” says Mario Furore. , the movement’s MEP.

Italy’s brothers defend themselves. Marco Ceretto responded to the allegations: “Media profit has exceeded information limits. Due to the great delay of Trenitalia, Minister Lolobrigida, who was eager to attend Kaivano yesterday, asked to get off the train and go by car as all the conditions were fulfilled. Blaming those who do their job right every time does no one any good. The sterile controversy is that the cartoon on the front page is not funny, but rather underlines the bad information that has been the servant of a wrong policy that has ruled the nation for years. If Minister Lolloprigida had not attended, we would have had big headlines: no state, instead, whether some politicized press likes it or not, the state exists and proves it in every way by trying to give concrete answers. “Has Renzi asked the minister to resign? Lolloprigida’s problem is that he doesn’t have Air Force RenziOtherwise he would have settled it like that… Let’s get angry about the facts, which I don’t see as true,” replies Giorgio Mule, FI Deputy and Chamber Vice-President.
