There was "no isolation" of Italy in
EU talks on top jobs, Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Friday.
Former German defence minister Ursula von der Leyen was
nominated for a second term as European Commission head, ex
Portuguese premier Antonio Costa as new European Council chair,
and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in a deal among the
pro-European majority force ahead of this week's EU summit, with
Meloni not consulted.
She went on to abstain on von der Leyen and vote against Costa
and Kallas.
Tajani said "a clear distinction emerged between relations
between parties and relations between countries, so there was no
isolation of Italy, if we want to make an objective analysis.
"Then, as far as the political choices are concerned, I too did
not agree with the method and correctly, the Prime Minister took
our position into account when she announced her abstention on
Ursula von der Leyen".
