Migrants, phone call between Mattarella and Macron: "Full collaboration in every sector" between Italy and France

In the Italy France crisis on migrants, the soothing contribution of the Quirinal. The president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, had with the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, a telephone conversation, during which both affirmed the great importance of the relationship between the two countries and shared the need for implementation conditions of full cooperation in every sector both bilaterally and within the European Union.

Migrants: the telephone call and the thaw in the press releases from the Quirinale and the Elysée

This is what we read in a note from the Presidency of the Republic which illustrates with a beautiful photo of Sergio Mattarella and Emmanuel Macron the homepage of the site where the joint press release, agreed on relations between the two countries, is prominently posted.

In fact, reciprocally, the Elysee emphasizes with an article that the two presidents Mattarella and Macron had a telephone conversation and reiterated "the great importance of relations between France and Italy".

The two presidents – informs the press release from the French presidency dated 12 November at 19 pm but published today 14 November – “both affirmed the great importance of relations between France and Italy and underlined the need to put together the conditions for a full cooperation in all sectors, both bilaterally and within the European Union”.

The news of the phone call between the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella and the French President Emmanuel Macron was disclosed in a joint press release, released by the two presidencies and posted on the home page of the Quirinale and Elysium websites.

The first step has therefore arrived, in the sense of détente, initiated by the Quirinal and the Elysee to bring relations between the two countries back to a more balanced track after the sparks caused by the behavior of the Meloni government on the landing of NGO ships in Sicily and the reception of Ocean Vicking in France. An escalation of tension on migrants – which culminated over the weekend – also exacerbated by the rash statements of the leader of the League Matteo Salvini who ended up isolating Italy within the EU.
