Mattarella's imprudent and untruthful statement

Stefano Valdegamberi, regional councilor of Veneto

(translated form Italian) 

"The Russians have a particular sympathy for the Italian people and these words sound truly offensive to them and do not help future economic relations with our country"

"President Mattarella's statement was not only imprudent but also untruthful. History says different things and he too is perhaps in good faith the victim of that propaganda in Europe highlighted by J.D Vance 'Censorship is a more serious threat than Putin' ". He stated it to Affaritaliani.it.  Stefano Valdegamberi, regional councilor of Veneto (Mixed Group), commenting on the clash between the Head of State Mattarella and Russia which led all political forces to express solidarity with the President.

"Unfortunately, people like myself, just for expressing different opinions on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, have been heavily accused of being “Putin agents” and to receive compensation from the Kremlin. Those who know me - Valdegamberi underlines - know that I am not corruptible because I care too much about my freedom of thought. Those who are corrupt are slaves because they are blackmailed. Where was President Mattarella when Italian citizens like me were attacked by media that reported on the front page defamatory accusations of “phantom journalistic inquiries ” of agencies that then turned out to payroll to discredit? Where it was when Italian citizens were registered on the Ukrainian, Nazi-style proscription lists, such as Myrotvorec? ".

"At a time when Trump is dealing directly with Putin, stepping over Europe warmongers that even in these days speaks only of weapons, these sentences risk sinking even more the relations between Italy and Russia which historically have always been excellent. The Russians have a particular sympathy for the Italian people and these words sound truly offensive to them and do not benefit future economic relations with our country. Europe with energy policy and sanctions, as I have been saying for years, is hurting itself. We pay energy 3-4 times more than the American competitors from whom we buy liquid gas to spite Russia. But don't we realize that we are doing the spite to ourselves? I'm sorry but once again we are wrong, "concludes Valdegamberi.
