Rome, September 23 (LaPresse) – “They’re all in New York. Almost everyone, because Meloni didn’t come. And she’s sending Tajani.” This is how Italia Viva leader Matteo Renzi, from New York, commented on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s decision not to personally attend the United Nations General Assembly currently underway in the United States. In a video posted on social media, Renzi emphasizes the importance of the event: “Governments meet, leaders from around the world take turns, and Meloni isn’t there. I believe it’s one of the first times in our country’s history that a prime minister has chosen not to attend.” In place of the prime minister, Renzi observes, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani is present: “In a world where there’s an energy crisis, problems with artificial intelligence, and a serious war, why must Italy make such a fool of itself? Meloni stays home for the election campaign instead of coming to the General Assembly like everyone else. But participating in the UN is a duty, not a whim of the prime minister. What a shame, what a fool.”
