ROME - Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani called off a trip to Paris on Thursday, saying the French interior minister had insulted Italy with comments that were highly critical of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
News of his comments came as Mr Tajani was preparing to fly to Paris to see his French counterpart – a trip that was aimed partly at improving relations between the two European Union countries that have grown increasingly brittle. “The insults to the government and Italy uttered by the minister @GDarmanin are unacceptable. This is not the spirit in which common European challenges should be addressed,” Mr Tajani wrote on Twitter.
Mr Darmanin is very close to Mr Macron and lashed out at Rome last November, accusing Ms Meloni’s government of being “selfish” for refusing to let a charity rescue ship dock in Italy, forcing it instead to head to France.More than 42,400 people have landed in Italy so far in 2023, against around 11,220 in the same period last year.
