Rome, July 19. (askanews) – “The torch parade…the torch parade was very much on the agenda.

There could have been controversy about this too ”: thus explains Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – speaking at the Prefecture in Palermo on the 31st anniversary of the Via D’Amelio massacre – because tonight he will not take part in a torchlight vigil in memory of Judge Paolo Borsellino organized by the right traditionally.

This evening there is another initiative in Civitavecchia related to the Coast Guard in which I announced my presence, and therefore I tried to put everything together, as Prime Minister.
