De Luca on Don Patricello: “He is the Pippo Baudo of Naples with the bangs”. Meloni’s anger

"Instead of helping Father Maurizio, making him feel the support of the institutions, De Luca mocks him", says Prime Minister Meloni

ROME – The “Pippo Baudo of the northern area of Naples, with relative fringe“: Vincenzo De Luca defines it like this , during a live broadcast on Facebook, Don Patricello, the bulwark of legality in Caivano and the areas on the outskirts of Naples where he has been fighting against the Camorra for years. “Father Maurizio lives under guard because he has become a target of the Camorra who do not like his tenacity in keeping young people away from drugs and crime.Instead of helping Father Maurizio, making him feel the support of the institutions, De Luca mocks him , and in doing so it sends a frightening signal“, thunders Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on social media. And he adds: “The president of the Campania Region mocks a priest, a man who tries to fight the Camorra and give answers to respectable families where those like De Luca were unable to do so, or did not want to do so.”

“I want to tell Father Maurizio that the State is there, at his side. That he is not alone. And that the men and women who have not mistaken the institutions for the stage of a cabaret, but they carry out their task with discipline and honor, they know and recognize the value of his sacrifices”, concludes Meloni.
