'Too bad' govt not invited to E-R with Mattarella - Musumeci

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 30 - Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci said Tuesday it is "too bad" no-one from the government has been invited to accompany President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella during his visit to flood-ravaged Emilia Romagna.
    "I am glad the President of the Republic is also in the flooded areas," Musumeci told Rainews24.
    "It's too bad that there is no-one from the government to explain the critical issues to the Head of State, no one was invited," he added.
    "It doesn't matter, the important thing is to get to the results," Musumeci said.
    Mattarella began his visit on Tuesday in Modigliana in the province of Forlì-Cesena, one of the towns worst affected by the recent flooding and landslide emergency that left 15 people dead and caused billions of euros of damage to infrastructure and crops.
    Later in the day he will meet with volunteers in Forlì and then with communities in Cesena, Ravenna and Lugo, before ending the visit in Faenza for a meeting with local mayors. (ANSA).
