Dear Director Feltri, she is a very wise and also frank man. Beyond and above any partisation, I beg her to answer honestly to this question: Minister Santanchè should not take a few steps back and retire, if only to not harm the whole government team, to Giorgia Meloni e to the majority?

Cara Milena,
I have already expressed myself with extreme clarity on this topic but I do it again. No, Minister Daniela Santanchè must absolutely not resign since she was, at the end of an investigation, yes postponed to trial but has not yet been judged guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, therefore Santanchè must be considered innocent and innocent is up to a final sentence . End. Point. Stop. On this there is no discussion. This is a constitutional principle that we cannot and we must not unhinge for reasons of political opportunism or moralism. I believe that our premier Giorgia Meloni must assert this cardinal rule placed at the basis of our Republic while keeping his position as a firm: Santanchè, minister chosen by Meloni, must not leave the dicastery assigned to them, where, however, in recent years he has worked more than well and Much better than predecessors (the only element that should be relevant), since the judicial power cannot impose itself on the executive one, which must defend and safeguard its prerogatives and functions. In short, an investigation and a process is not enough for a minister, or in any case a person who plays an institutional role, is declared fallen. If this practice imposed itself to suffer it would be democracy and the damage would have caused not to the individual minister or leader or politician in general, but to the sovereign and voter people. The ministers are not elected directly by the people, we know, but their designation, that is their appointment, derives in some way by the people, as they are an expression of that majority chosen and preferred by citizens who have went to the polls to designate it driving the country. So Santanchè has every right, and also all the duty, to stay where he is. And the real dignity does not reside, contrary to what the Cinquestelle and the Democratic Party claim, who also had and have exponents investigated, on trial and even condemned between their files but who become justice with the opponents, in voving, rather lies In resisting, all the more where you are in absolute good faith and convinced that you have acted honestly. If every time a political individual investigated or even sent to trial is forced under pressure of his own majority and the opposition to retire, a previous solid is created, or a custom, which implies that it is sufficient to deliver a warranty notice to picconare a government or junta or other organ.
Defeat would not be Santanchè, but the Constitution and also justice, that justice in the name of which – paradox – someone now claims that Daniela will be removed and invokes his immediate resignation.
Daniela I say: you are where you are, do not move an inch, because it is not the task of the judiciary to indicate who can compose or not compose the executive. Nor of those who have sensationally lost the elections.
