Foreign Minister and centre-right
Forza Italia (FI) leader Antonio Tajani on Sunday replied to
rightwing League No 2 and Labour Undersecretary Claudio
Durigon's contention that he was "in difficulty over foreign
policy" saying "I don't feel in difficulty and it will be the
voters who will judge" the success or otherwise of his actions.
Durigon said in an interview with left-leaning daily la
Repubbica Sunday that Tajani was in difficulty due to his
support for the ReArm Europe defence spending plan and over
League leader Matteo Salvini's invitation from US Vice President
J.D.
Vance, and "he needs someone to help him".
Tajani, who is also deputy premier, replied: "Everyone needs
help, even me.
But I don't feel in difficulty, the voters will
judge".
Centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein
said "the League has voted no confidence in Tajani and the
government is no longer standing on its feet".
