“Complex” negotiations that led to “concrete results”. Despite “artificial” controversies over rights, on which there are no “steps backwards” in a G7 which was “a success” for Italy. And now the government is asking that Brussels also be recognized “the role it deserves”.
Giorgia Meloni draws a more than positive assessment of the summit under the Italian presidency for her. Which showed Puglia “beyond certain prejudices”, which made the world’s greats discuss “in a village” about “global challenges”. And which once again demonstrated “compactness”.
ANSA Agency Scholz, ‘Meloni is on the far right, obvious differences’ – Breaking news – Ansa.it “It is no secret” that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is “at the far right of the political spectrum”, there are “political differences which are quite evident and which also mean that we work in very different party families” in Europe. (HANDLE) On Ukraine as on the crisis in the Middle East. And above all, from the prime minister’s point of view, she has begun for the first time to address some key issues of her government action, from immigration to the Mattei Plan. Meloni thanks everyone, from the staff (starting with Sherpa Elisabetta Belloni) to the press, for three days that left “the leaders speechless”. She calls her colleagues by name, even those like “Emmanuel” and “Olaf” with whom the negotiations for the composition of the new European summits are now opening. An encore from Ursula von der Leyen, which the German chancellor takes for granted, will have to be “evaluated” by the prime minister when the proposal “as a whole” is put forward and we will also see what the evaluations will be on the other top roles. Because you are not only the leader of the Commission under discussion.
ANSA Agency Square and programme, the dem leader calls the centre-left – News – Ansa.it Elly Schlein takes charge again. Yes from Avs and +Eu, Calenda slows down but doesn’t close. Conte will be on stage (ANSA) There is the presidency of the Council (the socialist Antonio Costa is in pole position but, in his place, there could also be room for the former prime minister Enrico Letta) and there are the delegations of the commissioners. Italy is aiming for a powerful portfolio (we look at economic dossiers, or even defence, based on how the delegations are made up, as well as an executive vice-presidency). Meloni has said it several times and now he makes his strategy even more explicit: in the meantime, it will remain to be seen whether it is not appropriate to wait for the French elections, as the Foreign Minister also said a few days ago (“I read Tajani’s statements which are common sense”, says the prime minister). And in any case Meloni will also make her assessments “together with the other parties of the majority” “in terms of the competences of the commissioners”. Because Italy “is entitled” to a leading role in the next European legislature, to Italy and to the right-wing parties that were rewarded at the polls.
“Europe must not ignore the message of the vote”, repeats the Prime Minister. Just a few hours before an interview was released by Politico.eu, conducted after the summit concluded, in which Scholz, before leaving Borgo Egnazia, pointed out that the agreement for the future president of the commission must “rely on the traditional democratic parties”, that is, “the conservatives who are part of the EPP, the socialists and the liberals”. Leaving out Meloni’s ECR, with which the “differences are very evident” and which, “it’s no secret”, is “at the extreme right of the political spectrum”.
The match will come to life starting from Monday, “we haven’t talked about it” on the sidelines of the G7, the prime minister cuts short. The exchanges between the leaders, who were elbow to elbow for almost three days, would not have been detailed. Also because the climate, after the open clash between Meloni and Macron on abortion, would not have been the best. But it was an “artifact controversy”, the prime minister insisted, because “it did not exist in our discussions, there was no reason to argue about this”. No “steps backwards” therefore on “abortion, LGBT rights and singing company”, Meloni cuts short, betraying with a not too happy expression a certain annoyance at the controversies that risked overshadowing the summit and which cost her criticism even in Italy , with the opposition pressing after the references to the protection of “gender identity and sexual orientation” disappeared from the final document. “No step backwards”, claims the prime minister. Who is now preparing for the European ring, preceded, probably, by a trip to Lucerne, Switzerland, to the peace conference for Ukraine. Where Tajani is for now.
