Ukraine, Schlein: "Meloni has put Italy on the bench". Renzi: "Return to the table that counts"

"Taking advantage of the Pope's Mass, Giorgia Meloni tries to recover but the patch is worse than the hole. Let's recap. In Tirana, Italy's relegation to the second division of diplomacy is being played out: Macron, Merz and Starmer talk to Trump. Today, then, Meloni talks to Vance . The Prime Minister's attempt to patch up this week's blunder clearly certifies the country's defeat: with Meloni, Italy is out of important discussions. I suggest the Prime Minister backtrack before tomorrow, apologize and return to the table that counts". So said Senator Matteo Renzi , leader of Italia Viva, in a note.

"It is surreal, if not ridiculous, to see the entire Fratelli d'Italia top brass applauding Giorgia Meloni's alleged diplomatic success. About what, exactly? They seem like those sellers of fake products who try in every way to convince you that you've made a good deal. The reality is that Meloni sold Italy to Trump, promising him the purchase of gas and weapons, and giving him tens of billions of euros. In the meantime, she continues to remain silent in the face of the extermination of the Palestinian people". So said Angelo Bonelli, Avs MP and co-spokesperson for Europa Verde, in a statement.
