Minimize, reassure and above all rob the hard phrases of Matteo Salvini to a pepper dialectic of internal politics. While Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni continues his holidays in Puglia silently today he touched the Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to explain that between Italy and France there is no “diplomatic crisis” since the talks between the “Prime Minister and the French president and my interviews with the French Foreign Minister are frequent”.
Line confirmed by the Minister for European Affairs Tommaso Foti, “freedom of speech should be guaranteed to everyone but foreign policy is the Prime Minister who directs it and implements it, jointly with the Foreign Minister.
Other statements are part of the political debate, but foreign policy has these two points of reference ». Tajani spent the day at the Rimini meeting explaining several times to the press that Rome and Paris dialogue and collaborate without renouncing a storage on his equal degree, the League vice -premier: “Foreign policy make the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and if they have to assert reasons, as I said, you win with the strength of ideas, not with the violence of the words”, who asked him for the violence. of Salvini’s words on Emmanuel Macron. The League’s response was immediate: “With absolute firmness, calmness, kindness and common sense we reiterate: never Italian soldiers to fight in Ukraine or Russia. No European armies or European debts to buy weapons ».
What is certain is that, while the controversy between Lega and Forza Italia drags itself for weeks on all issues, from international politics to economic ones in view of the budget law, Paris observes that a breath has not been released from Palazzo Chigi. Rather, in the government we try to read the half -full glass stressing that in fact Salvini’s position compared to Ukraine, beyond the tones, is the same: “No sending of Italian soldiers on the field”.
Line confirmed again by Tajani: “We are not to send troops but we could make an important contribution given the great experience we have for both maritime and terrestrial diminishing”. To give an account of the transalpine moods – explaining what the true concern of the Elysée is – the progressive newspaper tried us. The French newspaper focuses on the pro-Russe sympathies of the League vice premier “known for its closeness to Moscow”.
“In the Italian political panorama, the head of the League (far right) stands out as the main political manager to have maintained closer ties with the Kremlin,” writes the Monde by accompanying the article with Salvini’s photo with Vladimir Putin’s shirt. The moderate Maurizio Lupi thinks about the summary of this controversy, ensuring that in the majority there is no “fibrillation”. “The quarrel will end up absolutely and there are no divisions on this”, assures.
