Johnson recalls De Michelis

(ANSAmed) - Rome, December 1 - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on Thursday recalled Gianni De Michelis, the Socialist foreign minister who liked disco dancing, saying he should have been heeded when he called for helping North African countries. "Do you remember De Michelis? He was a minister 20 years ago, big, Socialist, who loved dancing in the discotheque...he told all European countries they should put part of their GDP into North African countries to promote economic growth. If we had listened to him...", Johnson said at a Med Dialogues forum at the Italian foreign ministry in Rome.
