Former Padua prefect Patrizia
Impresa said in April 2017 that "we committed sleaze" on migrant
reception, the Mattino di Padova newspaper reported Friday.
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reacted by saying the
alleged wrongdoing had happened on the Democratic Party's (PD)
watch and the PD was "responsible" for it.
Impresa said she was "sorry" for what she had said two and a
half years ago.
She said, however, that her remarks had been "completely
taken out of context".
