Italy's opposition parties are calling
for the government to give clarification regarding reports that
an influencer and advisor to Culture Minister Gennaro
Sangiuliano who allegedly did not have security clearance, Maria
Rosaria Boccia, was involved in email exchanges containing
reserved information about the organization of this month's G7
Culture meeting in Pompeii.
"Is the Culture G7 still safe?" said Irene Manzi, the head of
the Democratic Party (PD) delegation on the Lower House's
culture committee, calling on the foreign and interior
ministries to look into this.
"It's a very serious situation which demonstrates serious
organizational flaws, about which we demand clarity.
"Sangiuliano must break his silence and explain before the
institutions all the contours of this opaque affair regarding
the appointment of one of his advisors, never made official, who
was allowed to participate in meetings within the administration
and inspections for the important aspects of the security and
organization of the G7 meeting and of institutional missions".
On Sunday the centrist opposition Italia Viva (IV) party said it
was ready to present a no-confidence motion in Sangiuliano.
