“If anyone thinks of turning the trial into a show and wants to see Richard Gere, go to the cinema, not to court.”

It’s still: “I’ll ask him for an autograph to take to my mom. But I would like to know how much this stuff here will cost Italian taxpayers, which would not be possible in any other country ».

Salvini explained that he will call all members of the M5s-Lega government to testify, including former premier Giuseppe Conte.

Let’s do a great cantata. It is not a serious country ».
