" I am resigning with immediate effect as undersecretary of the Government and I will communicate this to Meloni in the next few hours ": this is what Vittorio Sgarbi announced on the sidelines of an event in Milan.
«I resign and I do it for you. Now I'm just Sgarbi, I'm no longer undersecretary", he continued.
"It's a coup of theatre," he added, "I've been pondering whether to do it or not to do it for two hours." «The law allows me, through the TAR, to indicate those things that I have said», that is «that someone who does not have a job, someone who is not an actor, someone who is not a professor, someone who is retired as a professor and as a superintendent" he added, underlining that "I have occasionally given conferences like this". «This conference - he explained - according to what the Antitrust sent me, would be incompatible, illicit, outlawed».
Therefore, « to prevent all of you from being complicit in a crime, I am speaking from this free moment about my mandate as undersecretary . However, you have a minister and other undersecretaries - he concluded -. I'm leaving again and from now on I will be able to go on TV and give conferences."
Then the accusation against Minister Sangiuliano: «The anonymous letters to the Antitrust? He sent them. I haven't heard from him since October 23rd."
"We did it", the exultation of the parliamentarians of the 5 Star Movement . «Sgarbi's resignation with immediate effect is good news for the whole country. It is the concrete result of all the efforts that the 5 Star Movement has put in place in recent months with respect to one of the most striking moral issues among those that grip the government. Evidently Giorgia Meloni and her government could not withstand the motion presented by the 5 Star Movement and the international media pressure that her case aroused. Today is a good day for the prestige of the institutions and for the image of Italy abroad."
