Milan, 24 January (LaPresse) – "I put myself in the shoes of those who have lost loved ones in Italy's international missions, such as the one in Afghanistan. It is chilling to hear the US President belittle and mock the commitment of so many Italians in uniform, of those who have fallen, without a clear stance from Prime Minister Meloni to defend them and the sacrifices they have made for their country. As a former Prime Minister, I have seen first-hand the role of Italian contingents and what they do and how they do it for peace and for local populations. I express my full solidarity." So said M5S President Giuseppe Conte on Facebook.
