“The concern is all in Trudeau’s head…”. The Japanese G7 is held in Hiroshima and the first ‘case’ has already broken out after the words of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who in the bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed concern about the positions of the Italian government on LGBT rights. Concerns to which the leader of the Brothers of Italy responded by explaining that its executive follows the decisions of the courts and does not deviate from previous administrations. “The concern is only in the minds of the Canadian Prime Minister”, he comments with Adnkronos Edmondo Cirielli, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and parliamentarian of the Brothers of Italy, who then continues: “We have not changed any legislation in relation to the past and we have not proposed to do so. We do not understand this concern.”
For the exponent of the Prime Minister’s party, Trudeau’s statement is “very strange”, probably linked to “internal purposes”: “There is no concrete or diplomatic foundation in these words. Perhaps the Prime Minister of Canada knows very little about Italian politics». Criticism of the Canadian prime minister comes after attacks on Italy by French President Emmanuel Macron’s migrant party (“Meloni is inhumane and ineffective”) and by Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz on labor issues (“Meloni encourages junk contracts “). For Cirielli, “there are probably some politicians who use the foreign policy stage to regulate domestic issues. These statements show a lack of knowledge of Italian facts. In any case, these are very isolated and marginal cases given the success that the Prime Minister is having in the G7 and the very high regard that all international partners have for Meloni».
