«We went to private individuals paying the expenses»- Corriere.it

With Agnes we received an invitation from King Abdullah of Jordan and his wife, Queen Rania, to celebrate the wedding of their son, heir to the throne of this beautiful and delicate country. We went there: being present in such circumstances is a positive thing not only on a personal level but also for the country system. Matteo Renzi in his latest enews returns to his presence in Jordan at the royal wedding. The presence of former heads of government at these events helps and is considered a sign of friendship. For those who argue, however, I want to specify that this does not mean that we went representing Italy: we went privately, paying our expenses as obvious and right and we were happy to carve out even a small parenthesis in the wonder of Petra – he explains the former prime minister But I think we will be a normal country when there is no controversy about these events.

Finally the closing: My side, I will continue to do what seems right to me regardless of those who have nothing to do but tweet and post their anger. Keep the controversy, we keep the smile.
