“Giorgetti tired and ready to leave? Fantasies. The problem with certain Italian press, which then loses copies on newsstands, is that they superimpose their own desires on reality. Giorgetti is defending the savings of Italians.” This was said by the deputy prime minister and leader of the League Matteo Salvini, guest of Agorà on Rai3, denying what was reported by Repubblica. According to the newspaper, the Minister of Economy would have offered Meloni the availability to work in the new European Commission.
“Mattarella has the respect of me and the League”
“No controversy with President Mattarella, the president has my respect and that of the League”, the deputy prime minister then commented, specifying that he had not received a phone call from Giorgia Meloni after Borghi’s tweet. “There was no phone call,” he said.
The League team
Which “team” will the League be in Strasbourg? “With the center-right, we will never be allies with the left, and with the bomber Macron”, Salvini continued. “I hope that the entire Italian centre-right”, he added, behaves in the same way. “Obviously we will never support Ursula von der Leyen or Mario Draghi as hypothetical presidents of the European Commission,” he concluded.

Giorgetti: “I have work to do, I’m not going to Brussels”
“Evidently they confused Republic Day with La Repubblica Day and were a bit excited about that. As for me, I continue to do my job as always, I’m already thinking about the structural plan and I have a specific project in mind I already clarified my opinion on European assignments five years ago and I have not changed my mind.” These are the words of Giorgetti himself to those who asked him about the possibility of his resignation in view of a position in Brussels.
