The scenario of the Russia case opened by the indiscretions published yesterday by ‘The print’.
In addition to involving the League for the interlocutions between Antonio Capuano, indicated as consultant for international relations of the leader of the Carroccio, and the official of the Russian embassy, Oleg Kostyukovnow they also move to Fi e Silvio Berlusconi.
In the spotlight, a phone call that the Italian leader would have made Wednesday allRussian Ambassador to Italy Razov.
The excerpts from the phone call are published by ‘La Repubblica’: “I spoke to the Russian ambassador in Italy Razov. He explained their reasons to me, what Zelensky did – the Knight would have said to some big names who went to meet him at Villa Grande, while the decision to overthrow the Draghi government was maturing – he told me that it was Ukraine that caused twenty thousand victims in the disputed areas. And that the invasion was necessary because the risk was that Ukraine would attack Russia “. The Russian embassy in Italy “is also the channel through which Salvini keeps contacts with Moscow – he writes ‘The Republic’ – The theater of meetings with Razov immediately after the start of the war “.
According to some rumors, the Northern League has resumed attending the diplomatic headquarters in recent weeks. Salvini’s staff, while vindicating past talks, however, maintains that the secretary’s last contacts with the embassy date back to May “.
And on the interlocutions of May ‘La Stampa’ publishes another background that always concerns Capuano and the organization of Salvini’s trip to Russia, which was then skipped. According to the newspaper, Salvini’s emissary would have tried to act as a bank with the Chinese. Capuano would meet with the head of the political section of the Chinese embassy in Italy, Zhang Yanyu, “to tell him about a mission planned by the leader of the League in Moscow from 3 to 7 May, aimed at meeting Russian institutions, foreign minister and president “.
At that point, the consultant of the Northern League would have seized the opportunity “by asking the Chinese diplomat for the possibility of organizing, before returning from Russia, a meeting in Beijing with the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi”. And to avoid the restrictions linked to the pandemic, he also proposed, according to ‘La Stampa’, “the meeting remotely, at the Chinese embassy”.
Meanwhile, Elio Vito, former Radical and Forza Italia deputy, launches a proposal on Twitter: “For having maintained relations with the Russian Embassy in Italy in recent weeks, Berlusconi and Salvini deserve exclusion from any political alliance, from any electoral competition”. The comment of the secretary of + Europe and undersecretary for foreign affairs was also harsh Benedetto Della Vedova on Fb: “Berlusconi spoke to the Russian ambassador and is now asking the Ukrainians to accept Putin’s questions; these are words as heavy as stones and of absolute gravity. After Salvini, it is Berlusconi who reminds us that the right has very specific ideas on the location Italian in the world: friends of Putin and Orban and their dictatorial and illiberal models “. “Salvini and Berlusconi – he adds – show indulgence with Putin and his missiles that continue to hit civilians; instead we support the Ukrainian resistance that defends democracy and the European aspirations of Kiev. Either with Putin or with Ukraine and the EU. : the right – concludes Della Vedova – explain the choice to the voters and international partners “. “An electoral campaign has started in which many lies are told, they realize that the center-right is destined to win the elections and from here the attacks start. They do not worry us but the citizens must know the truth”, declares the national coordinator of Come on Italy, Antonio Tajani. “There has never been a phone call or a meeting of Berlusconi with the Russian ambassador, it is completely invented news, it is the demonstration that an attack has started against Forza Italia and the center-right parties with unfounded news”, he adds. “It was enough to call and ask if it was true that there had been that phone call. It amazes me that journalists who should be serious, credible and reliable tell of phone calls without verifying whether there were or not. Berlusconi denied”. According to Tajani, “what we have done is authentic in politics. I quote Vote Watch, which is a company that analyzes the votes in the European Parliament: FI is the Italian delegation that has voted more resolutions against the invasion of Ukraine, against aggressive politics of the Kremlin, both as regards civil rights and as regards foreign policy. While the Pd and M5s – he concluded – were the party that voted several times in favor of the Kremlin’s policy “.
