Premier Giorgia Meloni should demand
the resignation of Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè after a
Milan prosecutor asked for trial for the bigwig in her Brothers
of Italy (FdI) party on suspicion of defrauding social security
and pensions agency INPS over COVID redundancy funds,
centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein
said after the prosecutor's request was made known Friday.
"We expect the Prime Minister to have a minimum of respect for
the institutions and ask for Daniela Santanché's resignation,"
said Schlein.
Santanchè, 63, has said she will quit if indicted in this or a
number of other alleged graft cases linked to her former
Visibilia publishing empire's activities.
