Di Battista: 'In Cuba I was afraid of dying, Meloni was human'

"In Cuba I was really afraid of not seeing my children again. I was afraid of dying. The neurosurgeon operated on me in dramatic conditions, in a hospital without water or electricity. They wrote so much nonsense, some newspapers gave me up for dead. It's the theme of communication today: it's more important to arrive first than to write the truth, you know clicks count and therefore 'Di Battista is dead'. I made a few complaints." Alessandro Di Battista said this in an interview with the Vox On Air podcast.

"Meloni - he added - called me and almost wanted to reassure me... 'look, I'll intervene, let's fix this nonsense'. She realized: 'this person is sick, beyond the world, in a hospital with exceptional doctors... let's at least take away this worry from him, let's make him understand that he doesn't have to worry about the media impact of this nonsense', and therefore she was human".
