Milan, 21 December (LaPresse) – Matteo Salvini ‘wished me well and I too wish him and his loved ones Christmas greetings as I do everyone else. As far as the criminal conviction is concerned, good because I do not wish a criminal conviction on anyone, not even a political opponent. However, if we are talking instead about memory and putting one's face to it, here I do not allow anyone to joke. Because the undersigned has always put his face to it since his political commitment began. I always will, because for me, transparency with the citizens is a prerequisite for doing politics. I mean no other way of doing politics'. This was said by the president of the M5S, Giuseppe Conte, on ‘In onda’ on La7 responding to the words of Salvini, who spoke today of ‘Conte the forgetful’ and said that ‘I am not used to running away from my responsibilities unlike others’, after his acquittal in the Open Arms trial. On immigration, ‘if we talk about criminal cases, they are specific facts in relation to a specific context. Here,' Conte added, ’we are talking about Open Arms, not Sea-Watch, Diciotti. If the magistrates believe they are investigating and in this case setting up a trial, they are doing so on the basis of specific facts. I am very angry, because' Salvini ’goes in front of people to talk about memory or forgetfulness. He must not allow himself, because this is not a question of memory, these are documentary facts'.
