Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accused Russia of “offending the entire Italian nation” on Friday as she stood by comments by the Italian president that compared modern-day Russia to Nazi Germany.
In a speech last week, President Sergio Mattarella criticised the “wars of aggression” that led to World War Two. “This was the project of the Third Reich in Europe. The current Russian aggression against Ukraine is of this nature,” he said.
Reacting to those statements with some delay, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Friday lambasted Mattarella’s remarks as “blasphemous inventions”.
Meloni said in a strongly-worded statement: “The insults of the spokeswoman (…) offend the entire Italian nation, which the head of state represents.”
“I express my full solidarity, as well as that of the entire government, to President Mattarella, who has always firmly condemned the aggression perpetrated against Ukraine,” she added.
Italy has traditionally been one of the countries in Europe with the closest political and economic ties to Russia, but under Meloni it has firmly stood by Ukraine, including with military aid.
TLDR :
Italy’s president : “russia = Nazis”
russian gov. : Italian are [slurs…]
Italian Prime Minister : “russia = Nazis”imo : Europe standing after USA’s route
She went to Musks inauguration though, daddy gonna be big mad.
Elmo is 100% not going to tolerate Meloni after she criticized russian imperialism and debauchery.
It’s too bad we can’t send Elmo and all the other oligarchs (not only American ones) to a russian prison in the arctic for several decades.
It’s too bad we can’t send Elmo and all the other oligarchs (not only American ones) to a russian prison
Volunteer them for Ukraine war on Russian side - and send real soldiers to Ukraine to help Ukrainians. With a bit of luck we won’t be worrying about Elon and the rest of them anymore.
Elmo and the American oligarchs will get tortured to death by drunk russian soldiers who will think they are american spies.
This is a sacrifice we will overcome.
How about Salvini and his Lega, did they comment on this topic?
Italian here
Salvini is shit.
He’s been actually paid by Russia for years. But he’s so dumb he would do the job for the Cremlin for free too. Giuseppe Conte is another populist shit.
There’s plenty around of these people: AfD, Orban, Fico, Trump, Le Pen, Farage, and so many more. This human rubbish must be swept away
The only luck is that Salvini’s popularity is declining constantly
EDIT: Let me remind you what a piece of crap he is:
Sorry I know too few insults in English, I can’t quite tell how I hate him
I’ll share a somewhat relevant Dutch song from the German occupation. The NSB was the main Dutch nazi party collaborating with the Germans, Volk en Vaderland (People and Fatherland) was their newspaper.
On the corner of the street stands a Pharisee
It’s not a man nor a woman, it’s one from the NSB
With a newspaper in his hand he’s peddling his wares
He sells his People and Fatherland for six lousy cents
Sorry I know too few insults in English, I can’t quite tell how I hate him
Teach us a few nice Italian insults then.
Se apri un vocabolario ne trovi quanti ne vuoi.
Moscow-first europeans 🤮
