Milan, 11 Nov. (LaPresse) – “This is not a war fought with weapons, but a war that uses technological tools to attack Western democracies, and all the investigations point eastwards.” This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, a guest on the programme *Mattino Cinque*. “As far as Italy is concerned, the ‘No Name’ group is openly pro-Russian,” he added, “the French believe Iran is behind it, but in Italy we have no evidence of this.” Regarding the recent cyber-attacks, of which he himself was a victim, the Deputy Prime Minister urged people to “respond with humour to show that a serious government is not intimidated”. “I believe that hybrid attacks should never be underestimated,” he went on to clarify, “but we must not cause panic because there is no reason for it.” Commenting on the survival kit instructions circulating in some of the countries hit by cyber-attacks, Tajani emphasised: “We must not cause alarm.”
Security: Tajani says, “Threats are coming from the east; there is no evidence that Iran is involved”
