(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 22 - Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said
Wednesday she did not have the powers to dry up rivers as she
addressed the Lower House before this week's EU summit.
"I'm not Moses, dear Bonelli," she told the Greens and Left
Alliance lawmaker Angelo Bonelli, who had earlier accused the
government of underestimating the current water-shortage crisis
especially in northern Italy.
During his speech Bonelli produced two large stones from the bed
of the dry Adige River in northern Italy.
"I assume you don't mean to say that in five months I drained
the Adige River, not even Moses could have done that," Meloni
quipped. (ANSA).
