Just after his “historic” victory in the European election, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi scores another major media success.
This morning his key (and most telegenic) Minister, Mrs Maria Elena Boschi, arrived in Italy aboard a State plane carrying 31 Congolese children.
The children had been adopted by Italian families, but their departure from the African country had been long delayed by the local Authorities for unclear reasons.
Mr Renzi’s new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mrs Federica Mogherini, was able to break the deadlock.
