Wd've acted same if anti-gay general said opposite-Crosetto

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 20 - Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Sunday he would have acted the same as he did in ordering disciplinary action against an anti-gay general who has been sacked even if the officer had voiced views opposite to those he did in a self-published book that has caused a row in Italy.
    "If Gen. #Vannacci had written a book arguing the opposite thesis to those he argues in these, I would have behaved in exactly the same way, as a minister," Crosetto, a bigwig in Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, said on X.
    "Those who attack me, on one side or the other, would have behaved in the opposite way. Yes, we are different, and very different." (ANSA).
