Italian Prime Minister's English shocked the Internet

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi will urgently need to tighten his knowledge of the English language after having gained over two million views on YouTube in a video with his speech in Shakespeare.

After Matteo Renzi exchanged the mayor of Florence for the post of Prime Minister of Italy, he had to seriously work to improve his knowledge of English. Earlier this month, he demonstrated his success at Digital Venice, giving a speech on the Berlin Wall.

Unfortunately, much of what the politician said was simply not translated into other languages, but he was able to fully convey to the audience his concern about his speech. The prime minister’s numerous pauses, his brooding мм mmm ’and his eyebrows raised became the subject of ridicule by users of the World Wide Web - after a lunch break (which Renzi joyfully told in English), a video with his speech was uploaded to YouTube, and craftsmen even tried to make it to him subtitles. “Nau de de tom tu tu t'o toe toit (?) De lanche endefort e italian politicians with absolute cushiales,” the prime minister said, meaning “Now it's time for lunch, which is absolutely crucial for Italian politicians!” (“ It’s lunch time, which is extremely necessary for Italian politicians! ”)

Surprisingly, most of all the video with the speech of the representative of Italy interested the inhabitants of this country: more than 880 thousand watched it in Italy. Perhaps today Matteo Renzi’s speech is the most popular among Internet users.

This is not the first time that the speech of the Italian Prime Minister has been the subject of close attention. Previously, a YouTube user with the nickname “Snish is the Word” “mixed up” one of Renzi’s speeches. Later, an unusual remix was viewed more than 1.2 million times. It must be answered that this kind of fame significantly influenced the rating of the politician himself.

Meanwhile, Renzi, it would seem, is not at all embarrassed by his lack of knowledge of the language spoken by the whole world. Not so long ago, he demonstrated his English in a conversation with US Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama.

By the way, the Prime Minister of Italy is considered a rather active user of Internet resources. Often, in his remarks, he mentions “fashionable words.” So, for example, in early July, in an address to the members of the European Parliament, Renzi, being the representative of the country appointed by the EU president, said that he saw “weary Europe.” “I will have to regret to say that if Europe took a selfie today, an exhausted face would appear on the photo. ”

Italian Prime Minister calls on EU member states to bring rapprochement as close as possible, proving that “if we stick to the borders of our states, we will not move on.” Previously, Renzi argued that Italy would focus on economic issues during her EU presidency. the growth of the union, while not forgetting about people.
