The Minister of Regional Affairs of Italy, Roberto Calderoli, has denounced this Monday that he has received a letter with death threats allegedly from an Italian mafia group.

“I received a letter in which they tell me verbatim: If you do not stop implementing the policy of genocide against the south, we will kill you with the weapons. We are the mafia, it costs us nothing to kill you,” the minister said in a message posted on his Facebook account.

Thus, he explained that he “is not afraid” of threats and that “he will continue until regional autonomy is achieved”. In addition, he has announced that he will only leave office after achieving his goal.

For her part, the country’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has transferred to Calderoli her “solidarity” in the face of this “ignoble act that must be condemned with absolute firmness”, as stated in a message from her account on the X social network.
