Italian Foreign Minister (FM) Antonio Taiani canceled his scheduled visit to Paris after statements by made the French Minister of Interior that he considered unacceptable, in which he stressed the inability of the Italian Prime Minister to solve the immigration problem in her country.
On Thursday, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan considered that Meloni was "incapable of solving immigration problems" in her country, which is witnessing the arrival of record numbers of migrants across the Mediterranean.
His words came in response to a question about the positions of the head of the French far-right National Rally Party, Jordan Bardella, regarding the immigration file at the border between the two countries, as the French security forces return migrants who want to cross into their lands.
Meloni, the far-right government chosen by (Marine) Le Pen's friends, is unable to solve the immigration problems after she was elected on this basis," Darmanin told RMC radio.
Rome responded quickly to these statements, with the Italian Foreign Minister canceling the meeting that was scheduled for Thursday evening in Paris with his counterpart, Catherine Colonna.
