“We were shocked by the photo, relaunched today by some Neapolitan newspapers and websites, which portrays Matteo Salvini with the son of a very well-known boss of the Salerno Camorra. It was apparently the young man who posted the shot, accompanied by the caption: 'A coffee with my dear friend Matteo'. The minister of 'more selfies for everyone' has accustomed us in 14 months to all kinds of photos, dances and singing performances, but, if the beach politics at Papeete could even make us smile, here instead we have to cry because it casts shadows on a person who was Minister of the Interior until the swearing-in of the new Executive. For this reason we publicly ask Salvini to clarify his position as soon as possible, even better if he did so in the Anti-Mafia Commission. The secretary of the League should tell us if the photo was taken when he was minister, if he is really a friend of Michele Matrone and his relations with him. It matters little where it was taken, certain behaviors by those who had the task of fighting organized crime are scandalous. Certain photos are not just passages for social networks, as an honest citizen might think. No, in the South certain photos are much more, they are sometimes interpreted by local mafia acronyms as the opening of men of the State to anti-state powers. Especially when the League is in government of the city, as in the province of Salerno, in Scafati (a municipality dissolved for Camorra in 2017), where the Matrone clan was the protagonist of shady relationships between politics and Camorra. Now there is the risk that this selfie could be interpreted as a dangerous message and we absolutely cannot allow the issue to be overlooked. Salvini must clarify immediately”. This was declared by Andrea Caso and Francesco Urraro, Campania members of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission, with spokesperson Virginia Villani of the Labor Commission in the Chamber, to whom several citizens are writing indignantly, in these hours.
