Our sympathies go out to the injured party, but we consider this a very serious matter and further conduct completely incompatible with the institutional roles held. We expect Giorgia Meloni, secretary of the party to which the members responsible for these actions belong, to intervene to clarify what happened and to take the necessary measures. In a normal country, people would resign for much less.This is what the head of justice for the Democratic Party, Debora Serracchiani, states.
Bonelli, Verdi: What is Delmastro waiting for to resign?
"Considering what happened on New Year's Eve at Undersecretary Delmastro's party, we ask ourselves why his brother had a gun with him? Why did he shoot during a party? This Wild West in the Delmastro household is unacceptable. What is the Undersecretary waiting for before resigning? Delmastro is unable to maintain the rigorous conduct he should adhere to precisely because he is Undersecretary of State for Justice, and for this very reason he must resign immediately." This was stated by the co-spokesperson of Europa Verde and deputy of Verdi e Sinistra Angelo Bonelli.
