Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been caught off guard in a prank call that has now gone viral. The call, which was posted online by Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, reveals Meloni’s candid views on the conflict in Ukraine, as well as his frustrations with Italy’s lack of support to tackle migration.
In the 13-minute audio recording, Meloni speaks openly about growing fatigue over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, expressing concern that all sides are feeling the strain. It recognizes the need to find a way out of the crisis that is acceptable to both sides without undermining international law.
However, Meloni’s concerns extend beyond Ukraine. He laments the lack of international cooperation to address the issue of migration, stating that Italy, as the main destination for many migrants crossing the Mediterranean, is in charge of managing the problem alone. He criticizes his international partners for their unwillingness to provide adequate assistance, calling their approach “very stupid”.
Despite the sincere nature of her statements, Meloni’s office has expressed regret over the incident, saying she was duped by pranksters posing as the head of the African Union Commission. The call took place in September, just before Meloni’s meetings with African leaders at the United Nations General Assembly.
The pranksters behind the call, Vovan and Lexus, have a history of tricking Western politicians and celebrities into making offhand comments. They claim that Meloni is at least someone willing to share his true views, unlike many European politicians who behave like “programmed robots”.
This incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about the vulnerability of world leaders to deception and the possible consequences of such pranks on international relations. As the situation continues to unfold, the ramifications of this prank call are still not fully understood.
