Italy made up the Russian ambassador on Thursday after President Sergio Mattarella was accused of lying in Moscow. « Decided conviction of the X-Ten verbal attack against the President of the Republic, » said a statement by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in Rome. The Italian president is « a man of peace and a symbol of national and European unity ».
In view of the sharp attacks from Moscow, he had charged the Russian ambassador. The spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry in Moscow, Maria Sacharova, had previously accused Mattarella « Lies » and « Disinformation » because he had declared that Russia threatened Europe with nuclear weapons. The Italian president is unable to justify his accusations, said the spokeswoman.
Mattarella had already caused angry reactions in Moscow four weeks ago by drawing a parallel between Russia and Nazi Germany in World War II. Sacharova had declared that the statements of the Italian head of state were surprising, because after all Italy was the place of birth of fascism. (APA/dpa)
