Official: Italians are worse surrender monkeys than the French
Out of respect for Iranian President Hassam Rouhani, Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi had a series of nude statues at the Capitoline Museum completely covered for the leader’s visit Tuesday, which has a number of Italians hopping mad.
Moreover, at the banquet held in Rouhani’s honor, no wine was served at table to anyone, out of respect for the Muslim rule of abstinence.
....
“To cover the statues of the Capitoline Museums, to cover and symbolically renounce our art and our culture,” the piece continues, “means the surrender of a country and a national and global embarrassment that no Italian citizen deserved and no business deal justifies.”
Prior to the visit to the Museum, Rouhani reportedly signed contracts with Italy worth up to $18.4 billion.
....
Some even compared Italy unfavorably to France, because when Rouhani was invited to a formal lunch at the Élysée in Paris last November,
French President Hollande refused to remove the wine from the table. The Iranian eventually bowed out of the meal when his demands for a halal, alcohol-free menu was declined.
On Tuesday afternoon, Pope Francis met with the Iranian President for 40 minutes behind closed doors, the first meeting between a pope and Iranian leader since 1999.
