Labour Minister Giuliano Poletti
on Tuesday conformed to the senate that he was sorry for saying
"it's better not to have" some young people who go abroad for
work "under your feet".
Poletti said the phrase, which has spurred calls for him to
resign, was "mistaken".
The phrase caused a storm in particular because it came just
after the death in the Berlin terror truck attack of an Italian
double university graduate who had found work at a Berlin-based
transport company, Fabrizia Di Lorenzo, a 32-year-old from
Sulmona in Abruzzo.
One MP, Luca Barani of the centre-right ALA group, said
Tuesday Poletti's renewed apology was "not enough" and he must
quit.
Barani said the phrase was a "milestone" and Poletti "can't
pretend nothing happened".
