One of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's closest aides has warned France against escalating an ongoing spat on migration by limiting Rome's access to the European Union's post-pandemic recovery funds.
Giovanbattista Fazzolari, undersecretary for the implementation of the government programme, told Il Corriere della Sera on Friday "I hope they are not referring to [the EU post-pandemic] funds," as any such action would be "very serious."
