Rome, 28 April (LaPresse) – ‘At the Pope's funeral, Giorgia Meloni missed an opportunity. The spell of the premier who tells herself she is a great stateswoman has failed: unfortunately she is simply irrelevant’. Thus in an interview with Repubblica, Iv leader Matteo Renzi. ‘Meloni? When the facts are proven, the castle of her narrative has collapsed on her. She had told that she would bring Trump and von der Leyen together and it was also seen plastically that those two do not need her. She had said she would be the bridge between the US and Europe on the Ukrainian issue as well, but in the four-way photo before the Zelensky-Trump confrontation there are Starmer and Macron and our premier is not. Not to mention Cardinal Re's homily on migrants, in which he cited the apostolic journey to Lampedusa and Lesbos as central. It must not have been pleasant listening to him for the mother of migrant centres in Albania,' he added. ‘We have a premier who is skilled in communication, but who is featherweight in diplomacy: she doesn't touch the ball in chancelleries, even if she is good in newspaper editorial offices,’ ’it was obvious that Trump and Zelensky had to talk to each other after the ugly scene in the Oval Office. And it is equally evident that those who went out of their way to soften the US president's position were the British and French with the Operation of the Willing, which Italy chose not to join. Foreign policy is not made with X or videos on Instagram, but with constant and often underground work', “other than a director, at most he was an extra”, he stressed.
