    Voto estero: Tremaglia, una pazzia cencellare la legge - Cancellare la legge per il voto degli Italiani all’estero, dopo il caso Di Girolamo? “Una pazzia”, dice Mirko Tremaglia, ex Ministro per gli Italiani nel Mondo e ‘padre’ della legge che ha consentito a 4 milioni di Italiani all’estero di eleggere loro rappresentanti al Parlamento italiano.

    DI GIROLAMO SI E' DIMESSO - Ampiamente previste e attese, infine le dimissioni di Nicola Di Girolamo sono arrivate. Il senatore del Pdl travolto dall'inchiesta sul riciclaggio e accusato di essere stato eletto nella circoscrizione esteri con i voti della 'Ndrangheta

    Caso Di Girolamo: Dall'on. Mirko Tremaglia Nicola Di Girolamo ha falsamente rappresentato la sua residenza in Belgio, ingannando nelle elezioni decine di migliaia di elettori, come è apparso inequivocabilmente davanti alla Giunta delle Elezioni del Senato che in data 20 ottobre 2008 ha ordinato l’annullamento della sua elezione, rispettando così la nostra Costituzione.

    Caso Di Girolamo: A colloquio con gli eletti all'estero "Già nel giugno del 2008 erano stati chiesti gli arresti domiciliari per il senatore Pdl per presunte irregolarità nel voto all'estero, creando spaccature all’interno dello stesso PDL e attriti con gli altri deputati eletti all’estero.  Ora a pesare sulla posizione dell’avvocato romano è “l'aggravante mafiosa''.
