(ANSA) Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese on Friday rejected opposition calls for her to resign because the Tunisian man who killed three people in Nice Thursday landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa last month.
Lamorgese said it was time to “stop the polemics” about Brahim Aoussaoui and to recognise that the triple murder was an attack on Europe for which the Italian government bore no responsibility.
“This is an attack on Europe, there is no responsibility of the government,” the minister told Rainews and SkyTg24.
“It’s time to stop the polemics,” she said.
National opposition League leader Matteo Salvini, a former anti-migrant interior minister, said Thursday that if the reports Aoussaoui had landed at Lampedua were confirmed then Lamorgese should resign.
