France will be watchful on the
respect shown by Italy's "post-Fascist" likely premier Giorgia
Meloni for human and abortion rights after her victory in
Sunday's general election, French Premier Elisabeth Borne said
according to France Presse.
"We will obviously be watchful, and with the European Commission
President Ursula von der Leyen, to make sure that these values
on human rights, on mutual respect, and in particular on the
respect for abortion rights, will be respected by all," she told
BFM TV.
Von der Leyen irked the Italian right ahead of the election by
saying the EC had the "tools" to ensure respect for human rights
if Italy adopted policies like those in Hungary and Poland.
Meloni has said she will give women wanting an abortion an
alternative.
