You were telling me that your current prime minister, she's a legitimate conservative, and I know that. | |
I have not followed this. | |

Her position on the war aligns pretty much with the mainstream. | |
So she was in favor of sending money to Ukraine. | |
She's in favor of supporting Israel. | |
She is in favor of supporting Israel. | |
Is that what you said? | |
Yes. | |
So would you say that in that sense, Italy is not following the general pattern of European governments? | |
I'm not quite sure about that. | |
I don't think... | |
No, only because the general view of the EU and the Democratic Party in the United States is Israel should stop fighting. | |
Yes, yes. | |
So is that the view of the Italian government? | |
Um, I'm not sure. | |
I couldn't tell you that because I'm not sure what the position is. | |
Which is interesting in and of itself. | |
One other question on this matter. | |

Yes, absolutely. | |
Absolutely. | |
The same thing you see in the U.S. is happening in Italy. |
