Germany rented the regions of Cagliari and Catania until day 187. We paid the agreed 110 gold, with no delays or excuses. We even returned one region for free. At no point did the contract mention the return of the others. There was no betrayal, because there was no promise.

Italy, from the beginning, negotiated with arrogance, acting superior and charging us an exaggerated price. Still, we fulfilled our part. When we said we would not return the regions, they responded with mockery, disrespect, and insults. Now they try to paint us as traitors, but they’re just hiding their wounded pride.

Germany does not lie, does not steal, and does not betray. Germany keeps its word. And now, Germany responds.
