(ANSA) - BERLIN, OCTOBER 26 - The words of the Turkish President Erdogan on Emmanuel Macron are "defamatory and absolutely unacceptable".
Angela Merkel's spokesperson, Steffen Seibert, said this at a press conference in Berlin.
The Turkish leader accused the French president of leading a "hate campaign" against Muslims in Europe after he went so far as to say in recent days that Macron "has problems".
