"Because of the media lynching, in 2014, I resigned as Minister. I wasn't even under investigation. Front pages, resounding headlines. For the acquittal, however, three lines that require binoculars. I resigned, today no one has the courage to apologize. A question of style, I think."
So in a tweet Nunzia DeGirolamo the day after the acquittal confirmed on appeal in the investigation into the ASL of Benevento which saw her resign as Minister of Agriculture in January 2014.
“I learned with deep satisfaction of the acquittal of Nunzia De Girolamo in the Court of Appeal. A judicial chapter, nine years long, has come to an end, which has been decidedly complicated for our fellow countrywoman. Nunzia De Girolamo has been the target of hasty and senseless accusations, with too many forgetting the principle of the presumption of innocence.
I renew my closeness to the person, the professional, the mother and the wife: it was a difficult phase that also affected his activities and his affections". This was declared by the Sannio senator of Fratelli d'Italia, Domenico Matera.
“The truth, fortunately, has been crystallized by the judges. A warm hug hoping that you can immediately recover from the anxieties suffered. To you, in the meantime, my admiration for the great dignity, the great firmness but also the great balance with which you have vindicated the ethics of your person, which we all recognize.
Hoping, however, that the attitude changes with respect to events that too easily see men and women fall into the mincer of the popular tribunals", concludes Matera.
