The father of Ilaria Salis, an
Italian antifascist on trial for attacking three neoNazis in
Budapest last year, said Thursday that Foreign Minister Antonio
Tajani deserved no credit after she was granted house arrest
Wednesday after 15 months of jail detention in cont5roversial
conditions.
Roberto Salis scoffed at Tajani claiming credit for his ministry
and the government, telling ANSA: "Tajani talks about the merits
of the embassy and the government, but he should tell me exactly
what these merits consist of because I don't know".
'The decision to appeal was solely the family's, it was not a
suggestion of the embassy nor of the foreign ministry, neither
advocated nor suggested by any instutution.
"But if I knew what merits he was talking about, I would also be
publicly willing to thank both the ambassador and Tajani".
Tajani, for his part, said he did not respond to "polemics".
Roberto Salis also said that an interior ministry suggestion
that his daughter should ask to be put on the roll of overseas
voters was "totally out of place" as it would scupper her
chances of being moved to house arrest in Italy.
