"With great emotion this morning, in two separate meetings, the Defense Commission has listened, the navy riflemen Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone. We wanted to give a clear sign of closeness and solidarity to our two soldiers, hoping for a prompt solution to their long-standing affair."This is stated in a statement by Gianluca Rizzo, president of the Defense Commission of the Chamber of Deputies.

"All the colleagues who intervened - continues Rizzo - they underlined the full harmony of the parliamentary institution with the feelings of gratitude, affection and solidarity that the Italian people have expressed in recent years to Latorre and Girone and their families. We wanted to hold this informal meeting of the Commission on the day we celebrate Santa Barbara, the patron saint of the navy to which our fusiliers belong."

"It was a collective hug - concludes Rizzo -  as well as institutional unity also a strong human involvement on the part of all the commissioners. We will continue to follow the whole affair closely, starting with the hearing of the International Tribunal in The Hague, not failing to support these two servants of the state."
