Bari, Italy –
I woke up under the not so balmy southern Italian sun, just before my alarm went off at 7:30 am. The thermometer already showed 26 degrees Celsius.
Ahead of me lay three days of coverage of this year’s Group of Seven (G7) leaders’ summit, which kicked off on Thursday in the seaside town of Borgo Egnazia on the southeast coast of Italy, my home country.
As I got ready for the day, I listened to the morning news on TV and was greeted by a reporter broadcasting live from the G7 International Media Center, who said that, according to rumors, the draft of the bloc’s final communiqué did not include any commitment would mention. to guarantee access to safe abortions. A few hours later I met that reporter in person at the media center.
