“Truly disconcerting – continued the former mayor of Turin – is the absence from the Balkans summit precisely at a time when the European Union, overcoming slowness and ambiguities, finally decides to give a strong impetus to the European integration of a region strategic for Italy.

What appears today is the image of an Italy on the margins of the most significant decisions that the European Union is taking.”

However, her plane suffered a delay that prevented her from reaching her destination. An unforeseen event that certainly cannot be attributed to the Prime Minister. For the left, however, as always, every occasion is good for controversy and attacking the government. Even a simple logistical mishap.
