Elly Schlein, the leader of the
opposition, centre-left Democratic Party (PD), on Tuesday
demanded that Premier Giorgia Meloni report to parliament over
the Starlink case, saying both Elon Musk and Deputy Premier and
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini had contradicted the premier's
office after it dismissed reports of an agreement.
"The Italian Right's rush to kiss the slipper of the world's
richest man's slipper would be ridiculous, if it were it not for
the fact that national security, Italian citizens' money and
their sensitive data are at stake," Schlein said.
"Yesterday Deputy Premier Salvini and Musk's own confirmation
effectively contradicted the statement by premier's office that
claimed an agreement for the use of the Starlink system is not
being concluded between the government and SpaceX".
