ROME – “Me Pippo Baudo with bangs? I thank the gentleman that I still have hair. I was taken aback by De Luca’s words. The problem of politics between right and left doesn’t concern me >. I am a parish priest of this territory for years abandoned by the State. Giorgia Meloni has made commitments which she is keeping come to terms with it. I can understand the political issues but involving me at this moment puts my life at risk. It’s like telling the Camorra that they were right to plant a bomb in front of my parish. Dear President, this thing worries me, I don’t think it was a happy exit and those words were completely out of place.” So Don Patriciello, parish priest of Caivano. De Luca offended my dignity as a priest and as a man. Meloni’s soldiery? I would like to hear the same words from Schlein too”, he concludes.
