https://www.yahoo.com/news/italy-rising-coalition-dealt-blow-085126862.htmlI intend to lead a government with a clear and unambiguous foreign policy line. Italy is fully, and proudly, part of Europe and of NATO,” Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy party, said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “Anyone who does not agree with this cornerstone will not be able to be part of the government, even at the cost of not forming a government.”
Meloni’s remarks come after audio surfaced of coalition partner Silvio Berlusconi, who leads the center-right Forza Italia party, saying he rekindled his friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and laying the blame of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
