Elly Schlein meets Roberto Salis , Ilaria's father. And for the teacher in prison in Budapest, the hypothesis of a candidacy for the European elections with the Democratic Party is looming, as the leader in the constituency of the Islands and therefore also in Sardinia (united with Sicily), the land of origin of the Salis family.
After the first indiscretions, PD sources clarified that Schlein met with Salis' father to talk about the "unfortunate situation in which his daughter finds herself".
The secretary herself explained that there is no hypothesis of candidacy nor any negotiation: «I wanted to meet Salis' father to discuss how we can help remove her from the condition she is in. In the debate on totonomi I would keep out a delicate situation like this", he underlined on "Five minutes" on Rai 1.
Ilaria Salis' possible candidacy is a mistake in my opinion. The attempt by the left to exploit" and "politicize" the case, "if the objective is to help her", goes "totally off center", thus "it is penalized". This is what the vice-president of the Chamber, Fabio Rampelli (FdI), commented when interviewed by Transatlantico.
«I was the first to criticize the treatment of Ilaria Salis by the Hungarian authorities», added Rampelli, «it made quite an impression on me to see her brought to a courtroom in chains. Having said that, the judiciary is independent not only in Italy, it is an autonomous body and independent of political power. I think that the Meloni government has done everything possible to prepare a diplomatic action" and there have been "positive results, given that prison conditions have improved".
