This morning, after recognizing the frivolity and the embarrassment caused to the government, the diplomatic advisor Francesco Talò, with remarkable sensitivity for the state and the institutions, submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. In the episode of Otto e Mezzo broadcast on La7 on Friday, November 3, Beppe Severgnini praised the difficult decision of the diplomat and former ambassador to Israel. “There is now someone who has resigned,” host Lilli Gruber began as a guest, “and in this the Foreign Ministry is proving to be different from almost the rest of the Italian public administration.” Then a swipe at the politicians: “Finally someone who takes responsibility takes over, something that this and many other governments have never known before, which do everything possible and no one falls.”

It is also time for a little solidarity that Severgnini expresses to those who have certainly made a mistake but who should not be put on the gridiron for this reason: “Yesterday I saw the name of the person responsible for the Africa -The desk responsible is the diplomat Lucia Pasqualini. Well, since you can’t defend yourself, I will: you are one of the best young diplomats we have. I have known her for 15 years and have seen her work on three different continents. Even though he was wrong, his boss was elegant and took responsibility by resigning. There is no one who has never made a mistake.
