Macron, Meloni FIGHT At Delhi AI Summit

French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni clashed during the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi on February 19, 2026, over a diplomatic row regarding domestic French politics.

 

The Dispute: Macron told Meloni to "stay in her own lane" after she commented on the killing of far-right activist Philippe Deranque in France, which she called a "wound for all of Europe".

Macron’s Rebuke: From the sidelines of the summit in Delhi, Macron fired back that foreign leaders should avoid commenting on other countries' internal affairs and stated there is no place in France for movements that "legitimize violence".

Context: The confrontation occurred against a backdrop of existing tension between the two leaders, following similar awkward interactions and public rebukes at previous G7 and NATO summits.

Other Summit Activities: Despite the friction with Meloni, Macron held a productive bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where they discussed AI safety and a "coalition of the willing" to ban social media for children under 15.
