"Promotional campaign for Albanian tourism," former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has referred to the decision of the Italian government's leader, Giorgia Meloni, who chose among other things to take a few days off on the Albanian coast with an invitation from her counterpart Edi Rama.
"Meloni was on vacation in Albania. And for me, the prime minister goes wherever they want: I am not the sovereign. After all, Giorgia Meloni has taught us spectacular leaps for everything, from the Euro to NATO, from immigration to oil machinery. She can also change her mind about tourism, can't she? Very well. In fact, we hope that next year, the Meloni government will be able to develop a promotional campaign for Italian tourism, at least as effective as what the Meloni government has done this year for Albanian tourism," says Matteo Renzi, the former Prime Minister of Italy, as Italian media say.
For the leader of Italia Viva, Meloni's action to pay off the bill of 80 euros that some Italian citizens did not pay for a restaurant in Berat after having dinner was a mistake and shows the implementation of left-wing policies by a right-wing government.
"We have given 80 euros per month for many years to ten million Italian families. Meloni gave 80 euros once to an Albanian family. I am not surprised by the gesture itself, which aims to get three likes on TikTok. I am surprised by the fact that even the right-wing government has the same cultural system as the Grillo government: the citizen as a subject to be pampered, subsidized, and supported. For me, this approach is wrong. A campaign that goes from Meloni to Conte passing through Salvini," Renzi says.
According to Prime Minister Rama, within this year, 500,000 Italian citizens have visited Albania, setting a new record for tourism.
