Following a post on X, a journalist, Giulia Cortese, has been found guilty of defaming Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The TV journalist was earlier criticised for his comments, interpreted by many as “victim-blaming.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has assured Italy of solidarity in taking in refugees ahead of his visit to Rome.
Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s new prime minister, is expected in Brussels on Thursday to meet the European Union’s top officials on her first trip abroad.
Ms Meloni recited the ritual oath of office, pledging to act “in the exclusive interests of the nation.”
Mr Kainerugaba further asserted that he would give Giorgia Meloni, who is about to become Italy’s first female prime minister, 100 cows.
The Brothers of Italy party, expected to win national elections, suspended one of its candidates on Tuesday after he was found to have praised Hitler.
