RT AP_Europe The values of the pope and Italy's populist government clashed in Rome when the official papal alms-giver went down a manhole to restore electricity for hundreds of homeless people.
FILE - In this Thursday, June 28, 2018 filer, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski right after being elected in a consistory in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. Pope Francis' almsgiver has gone down a Rome manhole to restore electricity for hundreds of homeless people living in an unused state-owned building.
A rising force in Europe’s far-right politics, Salvini is insisting that Krajewski pay 300,000 euros in back electricity bills for the Rome palazzo, tweeting Monday that Italians who pay for their own power must be “fools.” “I’ll even pay his utility bills,” Krajewski told Corriere della Sera in an interview, referring to Salvini.
In a text message to The Associated Press, the cardinal, declining an interview, said of his actions: “The gesture speaks for itself.”
