Middle East, Tajani: ‘It is inevitable to ask for Albanese's resignation’

Munich (Germany), 13 February (LaPresse) – ‘I believe it is inevitable’ that the government will ask Francesca Albanese to resign. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, responding to a question about calls for Francesca Albanese to resign from her position as United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. "Since she is not appointed by the government, it is a choice made by the United Nations. However, she expresses positions that are not those of the government. When you hold such positions, you must have a balanced attitude, even when you are firm in your positions.‘ ’It seems that her statements and behaviour are not appropriate for her position. I never make personal remarks, but when you have such a role, you can make harsh judgements, but you cannot behave in a way that seems more like a faction leader than a representative of the United Nations," explained Tajani.
