It’s storm on Raffaele The Queen, the 29-year-old candidate for the Democratic Party in the next elections, after Il Giornale published an article citing some posts on Facebook in which The Queen jokes about the State of Israel, questioning its existence as in the case of aliens. Other anti-Israel comments were also unearthed on the young candidate’s Twitter profile. He replies: “Israel never questioned”. Read: “His words close the controversy.” But the center-right goes on the attack.
“Today’s newspaper accuses me of denying the existence of the State of Israel, recalling a meme that I casually and superficially re-launched in a private group. In short, it was a matter of satire, not a political position. In any case, a wrong gesture, so I’m sorry. But I want to be clear, I have never questioned the legitimacy of the State of Israel neither in the past nor ever, nor his right to exist “, writes on Facebook La Regina, leader of the Democratic Party in the plurinominal college of Basilicata in the Chamber.
During the press conference in the Nazarene in the morning, The Queen reiterated her “apologies”, saying that she had used “the wrong words” but had “never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel and its right to exist. “. The Secretary Enrico Letta thanked him for some “words that close a controversy that Il Giornale wanted to raise. We are always very transparent and it seems to me that your words and the previous press release have clarified words from the past that have nothing to do with the choices of today”.
