"I believe I am one of the few who has already shown the courage to resign and I resigned as Minister for a t-shirt whose contents no one has actually ever seen. Only after years was it discovered, once the Gaddafi regime fell, through the mouth of his ambassador in Italy, that in Libya no one knew myself and the related t-shirt, that the demonstration had been organized against Gaddafi's regime and that he had stationed snipers in the Italian embassy to shoot at demonstrators. Calderoli had nothing to do with it: the architect of everything was Gaddafi who, through blackmail on Libyan oil and gas, asked for my resignation. Resignation I gave. I, who am a convinced independence activist, then demonstrated what the meaning of the State and the institutions was, resigning without any motion of no confidence, for the good of the country which was in a moment of very serious difficulty due to international tensions. I would like this to be recognized by you and by history."
