Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio expressed condemnation and concern over the withdrawal of accreditation and the expulsion of numerous foreign journalists, witnesses of the demonstrations underway in Belarus in recent weeks. Losi learns from a note from the Farnesina. According to Di Maio "it is necessary to restore respect for press freedom as soon as possible and allow independent journalists to continue following events in Belarus".
