Cospito: Donzelli attacks four deputies of the Democratic Party, tussle in the Chamber

Tussle in the Chamber after Giovanni Donzelli Fdi quotes parts of Alfredo Cospito’s statements reported by the newspaper Repubblica in relation to 41 bis. The Democratic Party and Avs rise up against the Fdi exponent, who spoke during the examination of the bill on the establishment of the Anti-Mafia commission.

Donzelli recalled that “on January 12, 2023, Cospito, while talking to the mafiosi, met parliamentarians such as Serracchiani, Lai, Orlando and Verini who went to encourage him in the battle”, asking if “this left side is on the side of the state or the terrorists” . “Cospito is a terrorist and he proudly claimed it from prison. He is an instrument of the mafia, not only because Cospito says so. From the documents found in the Ministry of Justice, Francesco Di Maio of the Casalesi clan said, meeting Cospito: ‘Pezzetto after piece we will arrive at the result’, which would be the abolition of 41 bis. Cospito replied: ‘It must be a fight against 41 bis, for me we are all the same’. But on the same day, January 12, 2023, as he spoke with the mafiosi, Cospito also met the parliamentarians Serracchiani, Verini, Lai and Orlando, who went to encourage him in the battle. So I want to know if the left is on the side of the state or the terrorists, “said Donzelli.

Cospito, Donzelli: ‘The Left is with the State or with the terrorists?’

The reply from the Pd deputy secretary (and deputy) Peppe Provenzano was immediate, accusing Donzelli of “dirtying a moment of great unity that Parliament has a duty to build on issues of fighting the mafia”. “There are many reasons why we could invite Donzelli to feel ashamed and I won’t repeat them all in this hall, I will only mention two. The first is that his intervention has nothing to do with article one of the bill which we are examining. The second is that it is dirtying the profound unity that we are trying to build on the issues of the fight against the mafia. Unity”, he points out.

Harsh intervention also by the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta: “The relative majority group has the task of ensuring that useful paths are found for everyone on the shared themes. But this was interrupted with the inappropriate intervention of Donzelli. I expected that the group leader Foti intervened to blame him and instead defended him. We respect your work, you respect ours. In the fight against the mafia, respect must be maximum”.

And Debora Serracchiani, called into question directly, also had her say: “Those who think they can divide us into good and bad on such delicate issues are wrong.
serious mistake to intervene this morning with words that should have been avoided in the most absolute way”. Speaking outside Montecitorio he then underlined that “today’s hall was unanimously called to approve the bill establishing the anti-mafia commission. On this we think there must be unity. This unity has been soiled by Donzelli’s words, which are very serious and have content and character of criminal relevance. Given that Donzelli has important institutional roles, we wonder if this is the position of President Meloni. We ask President Meloni to take a clear position. Tell us the president Meloni if ​​he thinks the same way.

“Donzelli made a very harsh criticism of the opposition, accusing four parliamentarians of a certain conduct. The minimum is that there is a reply against him…”, explained the vice president Giorgio Mulè, inviting them to “re-read the report”. Meanwhile, the Pd deputies intervene in bursts, asking a Donzelli to apologize to the four deputies of the Democratic Party who he accused of having met Cospito.

However, the apologies did not arrive from the exponent of the majority who counterattacked: “An apology? No. I will gladly go to the jury of honor to ask the Democratic Party to clarify his words. I hope that the Italian left which is stammering on Cospito apologize to the Italians”.
