Economy Minister blind drunk and almost toppling off his stool at Tigullio last Saturday night

Eyewitnesses have reported to this website that Chris Cardona, the Minister for the Economy, was with unnamed friends at the re-opening night of the Tigullio nightclub last Saturday, and that he was “blind drunk and practically toppling off his stool”. No attempts were made by those he was with to remove him from the scene. He stayed on until the early hours of Sunday morning and was in a bad way.

One of the eyewitnesses tells me: “The place was full of chavs and hamalli, and the fact that he was there at a club late at night was bad enough, but what was even worse was that he was visibly very drunk. He was on a stool and could barely sit straight. We thought that he was going to topple over more than once. His state improved slightly when a woman with dyed blonde hair, in a very short and tight tiger-print dress, sat next to him. People were looking at him incredulously.”
