Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Italian Infrastructure and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini were caught on video Friday singing karaoke together as they prepared to bury the victims of a shipwreck that killed more than 60 people on the Italian coast. .
This happened at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the leader of the far-right League party, Matteo Salvini.
In a video filmed by a journalist invited to the party, they sing “La Canzone di Marinela”, a song about a drowned woman.
The opposition expressed dissatisfaction with the behavior of politicians. The leader of the Democratic Party, Simone Malpezzi, criticized the position of Meloni and Salvini.
“They did not pay tribute to the dead. They changed the institutional commitment to go singing. Inhumanity, cynicism, improvisation, cruelty,” the opposition leader shot.
The mayor of Bologna, where the funeral took place, also did not remain indifferent to the attitude of the Italian leaders.
“It was a very painful day for us. We buried coffins, including a girl. I was impressed by the images I saw from the karaoke,” he said.
A shipwreck on February 26 off the coast of Italy killed 61 of the more than 140 people on board.
