'Offensive' to talk of foreign (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, December 2 - Speaking of fraud in the foreign vote for Sunday's Constitutional reform referendum "is not only nonsense but is also offensive for all the institutions carrying out this task," Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni told Radio Anch'Io Friday. "When I see in certain papers that the consular or diplomatic network has urged people to vote Yes I am forced to intervene to defend the institution I represent," he said.
    "There is a foreign-voting system and like in every country you vote by correspondence, and naturally that brings levels of delicacy greater than a voting station guarded by the army," Gentiloni added.
