According to information of diplomatic sources released on Saturday (23), the Italian ambassador to France, Emanuela D’Alessandro, was called by the French Ministry of Europe and foreign affairs to provide clarifications. The ambassador was mentioned after statements considered “unacceptable” by the Italian vice-minister and leader of the end-right party, Matteo Salvini, against the French president Emmanuel Macron for his defense of Kiev against Russia.




According to the sources, according to what reported, the ambassador was summoned by the Ministry of Europe and foreign affairs, shortly after Salvini’s statements during a visit to Milan this week, when he was asked about the possibility of sending Italian soldiers to Ukrainian, such as France and the United Kingdom who have already taken into consideration to do it when there is stability on the ground.

Matteo Salvini rigorously suggested that Emmanuel Macron personally went to war. “If you want, go. Put your helmet, your jacket, take your rifle and go to Ukraine,” said Salvini to the French president.

The leader of the anti-immigration legal party, an ally of the French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, had already defined the French president “Pazzo” in March, accusing him of pushing Europe into a war with Russia.

France and the United Kingdom, which guide a “voluntary coalition”, take into consideration the sending of contingents to Ukraine as a guarantee of safety to avoid the resumption of combat if a ceased agreement is signed or a peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow. On the other hand, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni refuses to participate in this initiative.

The ambassador is notified

During the calls of Emanuela D’Alessandro, which took place on Thursday (21), “was remembered at the Ambassador” that Salvini’s statements go against the climate of trust and the historical relationship “between Paris and Rome, and recall the” recent bilateral progress “, which showed strong convergences between the two capital, especially in the support not conditioned for the Ukraine, informed the diplomat.

Matteo Salvini acts as deputy prime minister of Giorgia Meloni, accumulating the position of Minister of Transport in Italy, together with Antonio Tajani, from the center-right Forza Italia, who is also deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs.

Emmanuel Macron and Giorgia Meloni participated in the last days of various conflict meetings in Ukraine, including one in Washington with the American presidents Donald Trump and the Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelensky.

Macron works with other leaders, such as British Prime Minister Keir Stmeerer, to organize Ukrainian support as soon as a fire is obtained.
