    • 2023 January 23, STA, Dušan Jelinčič / »O tigrovskem gibanju so pisali zgodovinarji, pisatelji pa še ne«:
      "Na srečo mu, tudi zaradi različnih amnestij s strani italijanske države - denimo poroka italijanskega kralja - ni bilo treba prestati vseh 20 let predpisane zaporne kazni. Pozneje je bil sicer še tri leta v italijanski konfinaciji. Tudi to je bil zanj zelo žalosten čas, saj mu je tik pred tem na porodu umrla žena, obenem pa ni mogel biti ob hčerkah, za kateri je skrb prevzela svakinja," je še poudrail.
      "Fortunately, also thanks to various amnesties granted by the Italian state - such as the marriage of the Italian king - he did not have to serve the full 20 years of his sentence. Later, he was in Italian confine for another three years. This was also a very sad time for him, as his wife had died in childbirth shortly before and he was unable to be with his daughters, who were being cared for by his sister-in-law," he stressed.
  2. (figuratively) for (to express respect to)
