Il Presidente del Consiglio

President of the Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni visited the flooded areas around Forlì and Ravenna today, after which she attended a meeting with the Head of the Civil Protection Department, Fabrizio Curcio, and the President of the Emilia Romagna Region, Stefano Bonaccini, at the Ravenna Prefecture. President Meloni went on to address journalists at a doorstep.

"Quanto accaduto oggi al Salone del Libro di Torino è inaccettabile e fuori da ogni logica democratica. Altrettanto inaccettabile è l'operazione dei soliti noti di capovolgere i fatti, distorcendo la realtà e giustificando il tentativo di impedire a un Ministro della Repubblica di esprimere le proprie opinioni.
Come al solito chi pretende di darci lezioni di democrazia non ne conosce le regole basilari".
