Italy-France, Tajani: “It’s right not to go to Paris after the insults, in Europe with a straight back”

“I was on my way to Paris when I heard the unacceptable words of a French minister. It cost me not to get on that flight, I was taken to France when I was 5 months old and I learned to speak French sooner than Italian. But when I heard the government, the ministers and Italy offended, I said: ‘I’m not going to Paris'”. Thus the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, closing the election campaign in Ancona for Silvetti mayor. «Now after this firm stance I hope that in Paris they have understood who is right and who is wrong, we accept criticism but no insults, it’s a question of dignity. We are in Europe, we also accept the criticisms, but we stand with our backs straight ».

“We are here to build, this government will last 5 years, we will make the necessary reforms, we will work to protect our interests in Europe,” Tajani continued. “The center-right is a cohesive coalition, we present ourselves together in all cities”.
