Berlusconi’s words about Zelensky caused an uproar. Therefore, all members of the Meloni government feel the need to reaffirm the international position of the Italian government. The last in chronological order is the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, who highlights the “granite” will of the executive to remain beside Kiev. “Of course not and I think it’s already very clear to everyone. The government never had the slightest hesitation, no internal component». Thus the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, on the sidelines of a press conference in Catanzaro, commenting with journalists on Berlusconi’s statements about Zelensky.
«I – added Piantedosi – give testimony, after all being someone who does not have a particular political affiliation. There is no compromising of the granite will and the conviction of being on the right side, which is that of the attacked and not the aggressors. So, for the love of God, any opinion is preponderant and legitimate, in a democratic state, but I believe that the government, and, I repeat, it was clear before and after these statements, has no possibility of rethinking and nor cracking the firm and granitic conviction of support against Europe, NATO and Ukraine in what – underlined the Minister of the Interior – was an aggression contrary to our principles and our values”.
