On Monday Salvini, who, like Tajani, is also deputy PM, said that “when a people vote, it is always right” in relation to the Russian election.
Tajani, on the other hand, said that the election was not “free or fair,” adding that it was “characterised by strong pressure, including violent pressure” and that opposition leader Alexei Navalny was excluded from the vote “via homicide”.
But on Tuesday, Tajani said that the apparent differences of opinion were not a problem for Giorgia Meloni’s executive branch.
“The government’s position is very clear, the prime minister reiterated it last night,” Tajani told Radio 24, referring to Meloni saying the ruling coalition was “cohesive” on foreign policy.
“What Salvini said does not undermine the cohesion of the centre right.
“If there are any problems, they are on the other side [of the political spectrum].
“Each political party has positions, which may differ, but there is no substantial disagreement.
“What happens in parliament is what counts and we have always voted the same way there.”
