Telegram No. ROM/101/1/73 Indian Ambassador to Italy to Ministry of External Affairs
In a telegram to India’s Secretary (E) V.C. Trivedi, Apa B. Pant, India’s Ambassador to Italy, describes the Italian reaction to US President Richard Nixon’s resignation amidst the Watergate scandal. Pant relates that most Italians are in utter disbelief over Nixon’s resignation. He also finds that intellectual circles in Italy believe the scandal to be indicative of a flawed US political system, while political circles in Italy seemingly view the episode as a welcome development for the welfare of Europe.
