"We had asked Salvini, through Fico, to provide a briefing. Salvini refused, and this is very serious. [...] Such a significant issue—relations with Russia, our place within the Atlantic alliance, and relations with these individuals from whom Salvini has not yet distanced himself—cannot be discussed during Question Time, which has strict time limits and a rigid format. You cannot just pop into the chamber for two minutes. You come to the chamber to engage in a debate and explain to Italians in full detail what has happened, and also to hear the opposition’s arguments. [...] If he does not show up, he will first and foremost be showing disrespect for the Italian Republic, and secondly for the Democratic Party."
