ITALY-Macron, Meloni To Meet 20 Jun In Effort To Repair Relations

FRANCE

The Elysee Palace has confirmed that French President Emmanuel Macron will hold talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on 20 June, with the stated topic of reaffirming support for Ukraine. However, the unspoken reason for the meeting will likely be to try and boost bilateral relations between the two leaders.

  • Since Meloni took office in the autumn of 2022, there has been a widespread perception that the centrist former banker Macron and the outspoken conservative Meloni have a poor working and personal relationship that is detrimental to Franco-Italian relations as well as the cohesiveness of the EU (given their nations' positions as the second and third-largest eurozone economies).
  • Italian President Sergio Mattarella visited Paris for talks and lunch with Macron on 7 June in what looks to have proved an effort to lay the groundwork for a meeting between the two heads of gov't.
  • Last week, MNI reported on EU efforts to have Rome speed up work on overhauling the EUR200bn National Recovery Plan to ensure Brussels has enough time to review the plans. See: https://marketnews.com/mni-eu-asks-italy-to-speed-...
