ROME (ITALPRESS) – “We were not the only ones in Europe who did not vote for that declaration, there was also the Czech Republic. And globally, Japan, Australia, South Korea. You always look for controversy for controversy’s sake.” Thus the Minister for European Affairs, Tommaso Foti, in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica, regarding the resolution defending the International Criminal Court not signed by Italy. “We thought it was unwise to enter inside this diatribe. Then the resolution had come from some not-so-leading states, such as Sierra Leone and Lichtenstein. Italy made a legitimate assessment, I repeat, in good company,” he adds. “Tajani made a very pertinent assessment of principle. After that I have to say that only in Italy do political trials take place in conjunction with such sensitive investigations. We have witnessed in Parliament the harangues of prosecutors Schlein, Conte and singing company, who misunderstood Nordio’s lectio magistralis.” “Nordio pointed out that one of the three magistrates on the panel that called for Almasri’s arrest pointed out egregious errors in procedure. But some people don’t like to keep that in mind,” Foti stressed. “I unlike Schlein and Conte am not an assistant prosecutor. But I note that on the part of the Cpi the error about the period in which the crimes were allegedly committed by Almasri is more a horror than a mistake.”
As for the migrant centers in Albania, Foti points out, “Meanwhile in the court several EU states have joined our position. Which belies the narrative of the left that portrays this policy as unwise and against European rules. It doesn’t. After that we will consider whether to intervene with a new measure before the ruling.”
