The relation between France and Italy has moved from bad to worse as the Italian Deputy Prime Minister, Luigi Di Maio, has met the representatives of yellow-vest movement.
France, earlier, warned Italy not to interfere in its internal affairs. The warning was made when the Italian leaders started speaking in favour of the ongoing Yellow-vest moment, which France considers as a serious threat to its political stability.
It was the induction of an eurosceptic government in Italy that made the first blow to the relation between Paris and Rome.
Since then, the relation between these two founding members of the European Union has been steadily worsening.
In the recent past, France and Italy found over a range of issue, primarily over the issue of immigration.
This is the first time in the modern history that France and Italy have come out strongly against each other.
The development is not favourable to the existence of European Union. Germany, the UK, France and Italy are the four largest markets in the biggest economic union of the world. This four will soon be reduced to three as the UK will leave the market within months. The union is less likely to survive another big exist.
