More discussions between Italy and Hungary over the case of Ilaria Salis, the teacher of Sardinian origin who has been in prison in Budapest for almost a year.
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed that he had spoken with his Hungarian counterpart: "We found a willingness to listen to us, they are carrying out all the checks we asked for on the protection of the prisoner," Tajani said in an interview with Corriere della Sera .
«We were struck by the way in which Mrs. Salis was brought to court – he added -. We will follow the case with due respect for the procedures of Hungarian justice, but we will carefully and continuously support the family and the lawyers."
And when asked what you think of Salvini's words, who said that the 39-year-old can no longer be a teacher, the minister replied: «It's his assessment, I am a guarantor and until she is convicted, for me Salis is a citizen accused, but still innocent like everyone else. I don't take political positions. Also because I would risk harming the inmate. When negotiating, silence is golden."
