“Monti and Macron must be treated, they are dangerous: let them go to Ukraine”: Salvini’s attack on the hypothesis of sending troops

The President of the Republic of France Emmanuel Macron and the former Prime Minister Mario Mountains “they need to be taken care of” and I’m dangerous“. The Minister of Transport and Deputy Prime Minister thinks so Matteo Salvini who thus commented on the releases of head of the Elysée and the former prime minister on the hypothesis of sending troops to Ukraine. “It upsets me that afterwards MacronAlso Mountains today you are talking about sending Italian soldiers to fight in Ukraine – says Salvini speaking to Rho Fairto Milan – These must be taken care of: those who think like this and say it as if it were a normal thing, this applies to Macron and Monti, are dangerous.” “I think talking about Italian soldiers who will be able to go and fight and die in Ukraine a very serious thing“, continued Salvini. “Yesterday – said the Northern League leader – Putin he called for dialogue and I hope that 2024 will be the year of peace. If Monti and Macron have a great desire to fight, they should go to Ukraine. I am available to rebuild ports, railways, roads, schools and hospitals. When some Italians easily talk about war and soldiers who fight and die outside the borders, in my opinion there is a problem behind it“.

What Monti had said in an interview with Radio24? “I believe that at some point it may be necessary” to send ground troops to Ukraine. But, “I also believe” that, rather than sending men to fight there, as Macron says, need to be intensified further the financial support and with armaments“. “If we think that Russia can really go even further west than Ukraine, if these are its intentions, it is clear that it must be stopped,” added the former prime minister.

As I know the League, which has always voted for all measures on military aid, has often raised the question of a recovery and strengthening of diplomatic channels: from a communication point of view, the Northern League has further pushed this issue in recent weeks with the start of the electoral campaign . In this regard, the League invited the French ambassador to Italy Martin Briens to the House to be heard. The president of the EU Policies Commission, the Northern League member, made the call Alessandro Giglio Vigna: “The direct sending of EU troops into the conflict in Ukraine would be madness, the League is completely against this hypothesis” reiterates Vigna. The president of the commission also specifies that “Parliament has no power to convene it is an invitation but I believe that the French ambassador must clarify, specify and possibly tone down Macron’s words.

As for the government’s line, the centre-left united (Meaning what PD, M5s And Greens-Left) asked the executive in the Chamber to report “on the nature of the weapons sent to Ukraine”. “President – ​​said the leader of the 5 Star group Francesco Silvestri – I wonder if it seems normal to you that our country should learn that this government is sending long-range missiles in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict not by the Italian minister but by that one British. I believe that the government must come and report on this immediately.” They joined the request Adv And PD.
