Danilo Toninelli, because of what he said repeatedly yesterday in court before the judge of preliminary inquiries, does not remember. Or maybe yes. Maybe he got confused, he was talking about something else. Or perhaps, according to the reconstruction of the events – then relaunched by the main press agencies – it has committed new gaffes. After leaving the classroom of the Catania bunker, the former Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Grillino made a boast of security: “For the assignment of the safe harbor there is a single mandate for the Minister of the Interior, who is responsible. Instead, we are witnessing an attempt to unload responsibility on the Ministry of Transport. Toninelli, called to testify on the case of the Gregoretti ship, shouted to reporters: “This is an attempt by the man who claimed to be defending the Italian borders.” He was questioned by Giulia Bongiorno, Matteo Salvini’s lawyer. Off the field he continued attacking the Northern League: «The allocation of the port for disembarkation is the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior. I answered all the questions clearly, “concluded Toninelli, who, however, escaped from the press,” because, “he interrupted,” there is a process underway. ” Except that Toninelli, we said, in the courtroom responded with many “I don’t remember,” stating – among other things – that he did not participate in the drafting of the government contract on immigration matters and denying that he was involved in identifying ports. From the account of the deposition it is clear that Toninelli would not remember the individual cases of disembarkation, “because they were all different.”
Here it is in the delayed landing of the Diciotti (August ’18), almost identical to that of the Gregoretti (July ’19): «There was a political division. They try to open the debate in Europe. On the redistribution of migrants: “I don’t know, it was not the responsibility of my ministry.” Question about Diciotti: “Why was the safe harbor of Catania indicated?” Answer: “I don’t know why the ship docked there.” And then: “I don’t remember if there was a cdm at that time, be patient.” Another question from Bongiorno: «Senator: was there an agreement on the choice of landing after having distributed the migrants in Europe? Did he know? “” As for me, no. “Bongiorno:” Salvini did not immediately disembark the migrants: did he do it alone or did you know them? “Toninelli:” I don’t realize it. “The judge extracted a ban entry to territorial waters, signed by Defense Minister Trenta and Toninelli: he was referring to Sea Watch. “Do you remember signing it?” “I think so, I don’t remember exactly.” “On the Diciotti you rule out that the government doesn’t Did you participate in the redistribution? “” I did not participate. “Bongiorno:” I remind you that in the note signed by you and Di Maio, on page 2, you spoke of distribution. “” I was not at any table to discuss the redistribution. ” Still. “In those memoirs he refers to the docking of the Diciotti to protect the migrants. Do you remember?” “Of course I don’t remember.” «In Diciotti’s memory he talks about college decisions. Confirmation? “Response:” I have never participated in decisions about redistribution. “” Do you remember how long Diciotti was quiet? “” I don’t remember.

Bongiorno urges him: «Conte wrote a post on August 22 (Diciotti remained motionless from 20 to 25, ed) saying” but does Europe want to take a beat? ” Have you read this post? “” I don’t remember. “Again Bongiorno:« On the same August 22, he shared Conte’s post! ». Toninelli:” Obviously I have written it, I agree with the political leadership. “I would like to point out that on August 21 In August, with the migrants on board, he said: “I agree with Salvini to wait,” and repeated it in a radio interview. “Toninelli:” Words to open the political debate. “Toninelli, regarding Diciotti, declared that he had voted against authorization to proceed against Salvini “because politically there were just conditions.” Question: “Politically, did you agree to this?” “Yep.” Salvini’s lawyer later quoted a series of tweets, referring to Sea Watch and Diciotti , in which the pentastellato said that he was against the landings in Italy and called for the intervention of the EU (“We have no obligations in the landing”, Italy raises its head again in Europe ”, and others). remember? “” I don’t remember, but I may have written them. responsible for redistribution ”. “So you didn’t know how they were redistributed?” “No”. Bongiorno: “But in a January tweet you wrote that Europe had accepted redistribution.” Toninelli: “I will have taken note, but I had no responsibility.” And again the lawyer: «You say that he did not take care of that, but in the tweets you speak of ‘our intentions’». Toninelli tries to explain: “Political debate”.
The judge intervened: «Senator: the political leadership must then take shape in political action. May I think you never gave an address? You do not remember? “I never did it”. “There was his signature on the Open Arms ban from entering territorial waters. You remember? You recognize it? ». “If I signed, yes, but I don’t remember the exact context.” The deposition continues. “He had made a post in Open Arms asking Europe to take responsibility and saying no to welcome.” «Different episode, I don’t remember, it wasn’t comparable. Everyone assumes their responsibilities. I am not aware of the events leading up to my post. I can’t comment if I don’t remember all the elements. “When there were cases of controversy over the landings, he wrote: ‘We have been working for days'”. Toninelli: “Be patient, after a year and a half.” La Bongiorno, after the hearing: «Great shame for Toninelli. I was in that government, and the ministers, Toninelli, Moavero, Di Maio, Salvini, decided together ”. Lapidario, leader of the Northern League: “I hope Toninelli at least remembers where he lives.”
