“I was wrong”. A simple phrase. Unusual in politics. Pietro Bartolo, member of the european parliament elected in the lists of the Pd, but more known as the doctor of Lampedusa, wrote on Facebook. Speaks of the resolution voted by the european Parliament on the 19th of September which effectively equates nazism and communism. A document on the european remembrance that every dem voted, with the exception of Massimiliano Smeriglio, and Pierfrancesco Majorino.
“I decided to change my vote from positive to the contrary, the resolution on the european remembrance. It’s useless to look around: I was wrong, I would not have had to vote favorably,” says the doctor has become the symbol of solidarity for the role played in the island to become the gateway to Europe (and also appeared in Fuocammare). And again: “I apologize to my constituents and I thank the many who have written to me these days. The comparison also serves to this: recognize when you made a mistake and take a step back.”
