Ilaria Salis, her father: “She preferred Avs to the Pd and Santoro”
“I would have preferred her to run in the Democratic Party but it is my daughter who made this choice because it is closer to her path”. This is how Roberto Salis, Ilaria's father, commented on Rete 4 on his daughter's choice to run with the Green-Left Alliance. “It is important – he underlined – for Ilaria to be able to demonstrate her innocence in a fair trial and to follow the directives of the Court of Appeal of Milan which ruled that it is not appropriate to proceed further with the trial in Hungary. As a candidate she will be able demonstrate innocence without all the constraints illustrated by the Court of Appeal of Milan itself, in the context of a rule of law”. Salis explained that they had been the ones to come forward “the Democratic Party, Avs and Santoro's group. Then the decision was made by Ilaria”.
Roberto Salis also reiterated the same concepts in an interview with Repubblica: “Ilaria does not want to escape the trial, but wants to do it as soon as possible and according to the standards of a democratic state”, he adds. The Democratic Party had also hypothesized a candidacy for Ilaria Salis. “However, my daughter has a political history that she cannot deny for reasons of personal convenience and therefore the most linear and coherent choice was to run with Avs. In these hours Ilaria's main concern was to be the first to inform the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. This was done when the formal steps had not yet been completed and therefore he was informed in advance as his role deserves.”
Matteo Salvini wrote that he would like a discussion on the future of Italy between General Roberto Vannacci and his daughter. “I think it would be a very interesting meeting if my daughter could speak from her cell or leave prison and I ask Salvini to do his best in his role as vice president of the Councilgiven his excellent relations with Orbán, so that it can be done as soon as possible.”
