Video transcript:
| 00:00 | It is said that the president of the republic, Sergio Mattarella has vetoed the nomination of | |
| 00:05 | Paolo Savona as minister of economy. If the news were confirmed, | |
| 00:09 | it would be incredible, because the truth is | |
| 00:12 | that there is no rule in the Italian Constitution that allows the president of the republic | |
| 00:15 | to refuse to nominate a minister solely because he doesn’t share his ideas. | |
| 00:20 | And if this news were confirmed, it would be dramatically evident | |
| 00:25 | that President Mattarella is too much influenced by the interests of foreign nations. | |
| 00:30 | Therefore, the Brothers of Italy, in the case where this veto has impeded | |
| 00:35 | the formation of a new government, will call on the Italian Parliament to bring charges | |
| 00:42 | of high treason against the president of the republic according to Article 90 of the Constitution | |
| 00:45 | because [of] people who act in the interests of foreign nations, | |
| 00:50 | not of the Italian [people], we have already seen far too much. |
Treason it certainly may be but this class are not answerable or accountable and so such calls will, all to sadly, be nothing more than a hoped for wish.
Even President Trump cannot progress the accounting of Hillary etc (yet?).
