France recalls Italy envoy over ‘unprecedented’ criticism: foreign ministry
PARIS, Feb 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – France’s foreign ministry said Thursday it had recalled its ambassador to Rome for consultations after a series of “provocations” by leaders of Italy’s populist government.
“For several months France has been the subject of repeated accusations, unfounded attacks and outlandish claims,” the ministry said in a statement, calling them “unprecedented” since the end of World War II.
