Farm Minister Francesco Lollobrigida,
accused of making an extremely late high-speed train stop for
his personal use Tuesday, on Wednesday said the unscheduled stop
at Ciampino in Rome had been open to all the passengers aboard
and not just him.
"The train stopped at Ciampino, where an extraordinary stop was
made available for everyone to disembark, as per the
announcement made on the train, and not just for me as some have
reported", he said.
He added that Trenitalia rail company had already said that "the
Ciampino stop did not entail any additional disruption or costs
of any kind, nor any risk or further delay for anyone."
He reiterated that "it was an extraordinary stop that, when
extraordinary cases occur, Trenitalia usually makes and that was
announced and available to all passengers."
