(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 20 - "The French president" Emmanuel Macron "has Italy as a strategic partner at heart. It is a feeling that we have touched firsthand, so that with Italy you can make a virtuous path, even in interest of Europe ".
The ambassador of Italy to France, Teresa Castaldo, said this in an ANSA Forum at the Farnesina, on the occasion of the Conference of Ambassadors and Ambassadors.
"I do not think that the French presidency" of the EU will be affected by the anti-European thrusts of some political factions because "it comes after a very long path in favor of Europe, which Macron finally launched in 2017, indicating the lines to be followed to strengthen European integration. Even in France it was difficult to carry out a series of reforms, not geostrategic crises, but these have strengthened the feeling of the French president that Europe must become more autonomous. The crucial concept is now that of strategic sovereignty ".
