23.08.2025Salvini's Challenge to Macron
The day's editorial focus was dominated by the escalating diplomatic friction between Italy and France. Following Deputy Prime Minister Salvini's critical remarks on European troops in Ukraine, Paris summoned the Italian ambassador in the morning. This move sparked internal criticism within Italy's center-right, accusing Salvini of overstepping foreign policy boundaries. Despite this, Salvini doubled down in the afternoon, calling French President Macron "a bit touchy" and challenging him to fight in Ukraine himself, with Prime Minister Meloni's silence noted. Earlier, Mario Draghi's critique of the European Union as "marginal and a spectator" in global affairs continued to feature prominently. Concurrently, the Ukraine conflict saw Zelensky reiterate his refusal to cede territory amidst China's offer of "peace troops." Domestically, a femicide in Salernitano led to an arrest, and Interior Minister Piantedosi confirmed upcoming evictions of CasaPound properties.
