Amidst a controversial tweet from League senator Claudio Borghi calling for President Mattarella’s resignation, Salvini reaffirmed the League’s stance on avoiding military conflict. He emphasized the importance of respecting the Constitution, which opposes war. Despite this, Salvini criticized other European leaders like Macron, whom he accused of being irresponsible and dangerous, leading Europe towards a potential third world war.
Salvini denied having been contacted by Giorgia Meloni after the tweet in question, stating that they frequently communicate to discuss constructive matters rather than controversies. Meanwhile, Elly Schlein of the Democratic Party condemned Borghi’s attack on the President as “very serious,” noting that such incidents on Republic Day are unprecedented. She criticized Prime Minister Meloni for her lack of response to this attack on the Quirinale.
The ongoing controversy surrounding the tweet has drawn attention to the delicate balance of power and diplomacy within the Italian government. Despite disagreements and tensions between different political parties and factions, it is crucial for leaders to maintain a level of respect and cooperation in order to ensure peace and stability in Europe.
