(ANSA) – Rome, January 27 – Codacons consumer association said Wednesday whoever decided to cover up ‘nude’ statues during a visit by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani should be sacked.
    “They seriously damaged the honor and image of Rome and the whole of Italy,” Codacons said in a statement, adding it will sue in the Audit Court for the expenses of covering the statues to be charged to the decision-makers and not the taxpayers.
    Also on Wednesday, the House and Senate caucuses of the anti-establishment, anti-euro 5-Star Movement (M5S) said they will put a parliamentary question to the government over the statues.
    “All they had to do, if they wanted to respect the modesty and morality of President Rouhani and the Iranian people, was change the itinerary,” the caucuses said in a statement. “Instead, the… government opted to prostrate itself”.
