Ukraine, Schlein to Meloni: ‘Is Salvini still deputy prime minister or Moscow’s spokesperson?’

Rome, 17 December (LaPresse) – “Tell me, President Meloni, is Matteo Salvini still the deputy prime minister or does he aspire to be Moscow’s spokesperson, which has applauded his words in recent days? Because the doubt is legitimate. Europe, which was born as a peace project, cannot delegate peace talks to bilateral phone calls between Trump and Putin. A diplomatic and political role is needed, which has not been there so far.” Thus spoke the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, speaking in the Chamber of Deputies after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s communications ahead of the European Council.
