Soumahoro forgets family troubles and gives a lesson on illegal immigrants and ius soli –

Silence is gold, words are silver. A proverb that highlights how silence is worth more than words. And, sometimes, refraining from speaking is worth more than intervening. A maxim that is evidently completely unknown to the leader and founder of Italia Plurale, Aboubakar Soumahoro. At the beginning of the week, the news of the Boot returned to deal with his wife. And with her pending legal issues. According to the Court of Cassation, in fact, Liliane Murekatete would have “embezzled a million” and would have had “a central and not marginal role in the co-op”. The affair, as is known, concerns the money from Karibù, intended for the reception of asylum seekers, which, according to the public prosecutors of Latina, would have been used to buy designer bags and clothes for Lady Soumahoro.

Murekatete, according to the prosecution, also transferred significant sums of money abroad. Reiterating that the husband was never even touched by the investigation, it is quite clear that there is a pending question of political opportunity. Three days ago the man launched (and then abandoned in the most difficult moment of his political career) by Nicola Fratoianni and Angelo Bonelli published a post on Facebook. “Belmaan Oussama, born 19 years ago in Algeria, died in the CPR of Palazzo San Gervasio (Basilicata). Condolences to the family. In May I filed a bill to abolish the CPR, a monstrosity born with law no. 40 of 1998 and kept up for over 22 years by the Bossi-Fini law. In this regard, I will present a parliamentary question”.

But that’s not all. Yesterday the native of Bétroulilié wanted to have his say on the current issue, citizenship. “Four months ago I filed a PDL on pure ius soli. We have been waiting for a fair law for 32 years. We have witnessed many debates on citizenship. This makes politics lose credibility. No to tactics on the skin of Italians without citizenship, if there is the will, let’s vote on my proposed law”. Well, giving lessons on immigration and legality, on ius soli and citizenship while pointing the finger at Italy and its government, the day after the clear position taken by the magistrates on his wife, seems at the very least grotesque.
