Row over failure to mention right to abortion in final statement

Premier Giorgia Meloni on Thursday accused French President Emmanuel Macron of election campaigning at the G7 summit in Puglia in relation to a spat over the failure to mention of the right to abortion in the final declaration.
    Macron, who has called parliamentary elections in France after his party did badly in last week's European elections, said he was sorry that the word "abortion" did not feature in the statement and complained of "different sensibilities".
    "There is no reason to cause controversy about issues that we have long agreed on," Meloni said on the first day of the summit at the Puglia resort of Borgo Egnazia.
    "And I think it is profoundly wrong, in difficult times like these, to use a precious forum like the G7 to campaign".
    A draft of the summit statement said the G7 stood by our commitments made in the final communiqué the last year's Hiroshima G7, which did specifically refer to abortion.
    "The controversy over the presence or absence of the word abortion in the conclusions is a total pretext," Meloni said.
    "The conclusions of Borgo Egnazia recall those of Hiroshima, in which we already approved last year the need to ensure that abortion is 'safe and legal'.
    "This is an established fact and no one has ever asked us to backtrack on this.
    "If the conclusions do not introduce new issues, it is so as not to be unnecessarily repetitive, simply recalling what has already been stated at previous summits'.
    The tension seemed to ease later on Thursday when Macron kissed Meloni's hand at the dinner of the first day.
