Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced on Tuesday that Italy had summoned the Russian ambassador to Rome following a series of insults directed at Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni by a Russian television host.
Meloni was called a “disgrace to the human race,” a “wild beast,” a “certified idiot,” and a “nasty little woman” by Russian television host Vladimir Solovyov, according to Italian media. This Meloni is a fascist creature who betrayed her electors,” he said in Russian, adding that “she even betrayed (US President Donald) Trump.”
According to a post on X, Tajani “summoned the Russian Ambassador, Alexey Paramonov, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formally protest the extremely serious and offensive remarks made by the TV host.”
head of the Five Star Movement, an opposition group Giuseppe Conte denounced the slurs as “unspeakable,” while Mariastella Gelmini of the Us Moderates (Noi Moderati) party described them as reprehensible. Unacceptable sexist accusations were made against Giorgia Meloni by a Russian TV host who represents the Kremlin. Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party, stated, “We would like to remind the Russian regime once more that those who insult the representatives of Italian institutions offend the entire country and we do not accept this.
