Sserenity: like a few days ago, the Quirinale is reached by the new attacks of the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry Zakharova but does not react, Much less enters into controversy. A question of standing, first of all: a ministry account, an account of a presidency of the Republic. Above all, then, the line remains that of last week: what was said to Marseille is worth.
That is to say: between the two wars “authoritarian phenomena took over in some countries, attracted by the fairy tale that despotic and illiberal regimes were more effective in the protection of national interests. The result was the accentuation of a climate of conflict – instead of of cooperation – even in the awareness of having to face and solve problems on a wider scale. Today Russian aggression to Ukraine is of this nature “. No direct assimilations, no radical combinations.
The comparison between Russia and Nazi Germany in the year of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, recently made by Italian President Sergio Mattarella, “it will not remain without consequences“, said Maria Zakharova, a guest of Russian TV on Sunday evening.” In her role as president said she believed Russia can be equated to the third Reich. This cannot and will never remain without consequences “, Zakharova admonished interviewed in the program of the Filmino journalist Vladimir Solovyov on the Rossiya -1 channel. Zakharova – who posted a clip of his intervention on his Telegram channel – stressed that these words were pronounced by “President of a country that historically was among those who attacked our country“.
“Unfortunately Italy is the country where fascism was born,” added the spokesperson. “This is told by a person who cannot help but know how many Italian soldiers killed our grandparents and great -grandparents in our territory during the Second World War under the Nazi flags and slogans. On what basis this is said in the Year of the 80th anniversary of our victory? “, Diplomatica insisted on.
“We gave an answer, which gave rise not only to a wave of Russophobia and the alleged pseudo-Dephase of the Italian President. People created an online petition in which ordinary Italian citizens, journalists, public characters began to write that They apologize to the Russians for these unworthy words, “concluded Zakharova.
From today and until tomorrow Sergio Mattarella is in Montenegro. This is not a simple visit of a good neighboring to a country that looks to Italy on the other side of the Adriatic: from the first seventeen the president has taken care to carefully follow the pro -European evolution of the states of the western Balkans and it He reiterated, always in recent days, asking for them, as for Moldova and Ukrainian herself, an acceleration in the integration process within the European institutions. The visit, therefore, is part of a wide -ranging and long term context made even more interesting by the turning point that have taken international relations. Today Mattarella meets the Italian community that lives in Podgorica. Tomorrow will meet the Montenegrin counterpart Janko Milatovic.
Meanwhile, the official Tass agency reports that the petition in question, in which they declare that “the Italian people do not share the declaration of the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and wishes to apologize to the Russian Federation and the entire Russian people”, was signed by over 10,000 people. Its promoter, the Italian journalist Vincenzo Lorusso, who lives in Lugansk and tells life in Donbass, told the Russian agency. “The signatories are mainly Italian citizens, there are also Russians who live in Italy“He said. Lorusso said that once the collection of signatures are completed, the petition will be sent to the Russian Foreign Ministry to” demonstrate that Italians do not share the opinions of the president “.
