Orlando on the Morra case: “Out of this world that Salini decides to exclude a member of parliament”

“The president of the Anti-Mafia Commission must have balance, but it cannot be Salini who decides, on the basis of the opinions of a member of Parliament, that the parliamentarian to exclude: he is out of this world, even if Morra said things totally wrong “. Thus the Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party Andrea Orlando to the microphones of ‘Il caffè della Domenica’ by Maria Latella on Radio 24.

The controversy over the ‘Morra case’ does not stop. The new statements of the president of the Antimafia, after those of Jole Santelli, take the shock from the political to the institutional level. The entire center-right, in fact, has announced its intention to defect from the Antimafia commission if the M5s exponent does not resign as president, in a tug of war that endangers a state institution in the fight against organized crime, as he stressed. the Pd. In addition, the RAI’s withdrawal of the invitation to Morra to participate in the “Titolo V” program on Friday night opens a new chapter, with the public concessionaire in the role of censor – and the criticism of the majority – of a president by Bicamerale.

Morra refrained from making explicit apologies for words about Jole Santelli that even M5 deputies have described as “unhappy.” The president of the Antimafia, interviewed in La7, first said that it was “misrepresented”, then he defended himself: “when you annoy Cosa Nostra, the mafia and the ‘Ndrangheta, as they taught us, then you have to get dirty, muddy” and delegitimize “. Phrases that further enrage the center right.” According to Morra, whoever asked for his resignation would be a friend of the mafia. On behalf of millions of respectable Italians, this idiot demands, “Matteo Salvini threatened.

The exponents of M5, while stigmatizing Morra’s departure on Santelli, react in unison with a tough face, from the governor’s wing (Mario Perantoni) to the area near Fico (Luigi Gallo) to Alessandro Di Battista. For them it is unacceptable to speak of a “regrettable” sentence of Morra instead of the arrest of the president of the Calabrian parliament, Tallini, of Forza Italia. “The world upside down”, sentence Di Battista.

Even the Democratic Party, IV and Leu attack Viale Mazzini for what Orlando calls “a very serious precedent for democratic life” because it is not “a CEO or a network director who decides what a politician can say or not say” . And Michele Anzaldi (Iv), asks the majority of Giallorossi to discourage the entire Board of Directors, son of the previous yellow-green majority.
