League: Paris is now also against the US, so it should calm down. Le Monde highlights Meloni's silence.

Following the accusations of touchiness that Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini launched yesterday at the Rimini Meeting against French President Emmanuel Macron , and the previous outbursts that resulted in the summoning of the Italian ambassador to Paris, the League is once again provoking the Elysée.

He does so through the voice of Paolo Formentini , head of the foreign department on Via Bellerio.

"First the overreaction to Matteo Salvini's simple and respectful opinions against sending European soldiers to Ukraine, now the attack on the United States regarding anti-Semitism and the summoning of the ambassador ," the MP stated. "The international situation is very delicate and requires common sense and composure: we trust that everyone will regain the necessary calm, and that Paris will avoid wasting any more time summoning ambassadors from half the world."

Le Monde returns to Salvini

Meanwhile, Le Monde returns to the issue, after having defined Salvin as a “man of the extreme right” and “close to Moscow”, today it underlines “the silence” of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni .

"Two days after summoning the Italian ambassador to the Quai d'Orsay, the Italian vice-president of the Council of Ministers redoubled his criticism of the French president, portraying him as a dangerous warmonger in the Ukraine affair," the French newspaper reported.

"Salvini's positioning," the newspaper continues, "puts Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who has remained silent on the matter, in a delicate situation. By recalling the minister, who occupies a position to his right," the newspaper writes, "he risks giving the image of a divided coalition and appearing willing to defend the French president."

"The League leader," Le Monde concludes, "presents Emmanuel Macron as Europe's leading warmonger, facing a public reluctant to take a more pronounced stance on Kiev's side, but above all, facing a right-wing electorate for whom he represents an old bugbear."
