Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said
Monday that Italy would work with any government chosen by the
French after first round results put Marine Le Pen's rightwing
National Rally (RN) on 33% of the vote ahead of a leftwing
alliance on 28% and President Emmanuel Macron's centrist group
on 21%.
"I am concerned about the risks of instability, the important
thing is that Europe manages to be stable, before making any
comments we have to wait for the ballot vote, but what is
important is stability in France, because stability in France
also means stability in the markets," said Tajani, who is also
deputy premier and leader of the centre-right post Berlusconi
Forza Italia (FI) party.
"We will work with whichever government is chosen by the French
citizens".
Tajani was answering a question on RN's success.
