Salvini, Macron and Meloni

The clash is now public and visible. The Italian ambassador in Paris, Emanuela D'Alessandro, was summoned by the French government over the "unacceptable statements" that Matteo Salvini has made in recent days to President Emmanuel Macron, AFP reported, citing diplomatic sources.

The Elysee's anger, also mentioned by Italian media, came immediately after the deputy prime minister's harsh words towards the French head of state.

The latest “spark” came from Salvini’s statements against the French idea of ​​sending troops to Ukraine. “Go yourself. Put on your cap, vest, rifle and go to Ukraine,” he said ironically, openly opposing Macron. For months, Salvini has been waging a fierce campaign against this project and against the French president himself.

Paris decided to move diplomatically. Initially, through Macron's diplomatic advisor and the French ambassador to Italy, a response was sought to clarify whether Salvini was speaking on behalf of the government or not. In the absence of a response, the Italian ambassador in Paris was summoned.

According to AFP sources, he was reminded that Salvini's statements contradict the climate of trust and historical relations between the two countries, as well as their recent cooperation on Ukraine.

Salvini's statements came as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was in Washington, alongside Macron, to support diplomatic efforts for Ukraine.

This puts the prime minister in a dilemma: distance herself from her coalition partner, risking internal tensions, or remain silent, at the risk of worsening relations with France.

So far, Meloni has chosen not to expose himself, while it has often been Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani who has asked Salvini for restraint.

This is not the first time Salvini has attacked Macron. Since last year, he has called the French president a "madman who talks about nuclear war," a "hypocrite," a "criminal," and even a "gentleman addicted to champagne."

Harsh language that has already produced a new diplomatic crisis between Rome and Paris.
