Tajani: Rutte? Respect all rules, ready to say so in Parliament

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani dismissed recent concerns regarding Italian flights as a "storm in a teacup," clarifying that they were exclusively for logistical purposes and not for military actions.

“

It was a storm in a teacup, because it has already been clarified that they were not flights for carrying out war actions, but only flights for logistical operations.

Speaking at the Italy-Tunisia Business Forum in Tunis, Tajani stated that the government is ready to address the issue with complete transparency in Parliament. He reiterated that Italy has consistently upheld the Constitution and international treaties in all its actions.

The same thing Rutte said, who reiterated that all those flights were not flights for carrying out bombings but flights for refueling and carrying out logistical operations.

"It was a storm in a teacup, because it has already been clarified that they were not flights for carrying out war actions, but only flights for logistical operations," Tajani said. He noted that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte had also made similar clarifications, confirming the flights' non-combat nature.

“

The government is ready to go to Parliament to say everything that needs to be said with great transparency.

Tajani emphasized that the government's actions have always been in absolute compliance with regulations. The minister's remarks aimed to quell any potential misunderstandings or political fallout surrounding the nature of the flights.

“

We have always respected the Constitution and treaties, everything Italy has done has always been done in absolute compliance with the rules.
