Giorgia Meloni: Mario Draghi next president of the EU Commission? Philosophy

«Mario Draghi is very authoritative and I’m happy we’re talking about an Italian for a role at the top of the EU but you’ll never find me on the tendency to decide who does what before the vote.” It is the citizens who vote, “they decide who has more weight and less weight, they establish what the possible majorities are and only at the end of this reasoning can we talk about names”. So for now “I’m not interested in participating in this debate.” This is the position expressed by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloniin a press point at the end of the European Council.

Post-election Europe

Remaining on the theme of the new Europe post-electionsMeloni hopes it will be «different, more capable of responding to major challenges, such as border defense and strategic autonomy, with a less ideological and more pragmatic approach to citizens’ problems».

However both Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi, “two people considered pro-Europeans tell us that Europe needs to be changed.” In particular, Letta in his report underlined “the need to strengthen European industry, the reference to strategic autonomy, the courageous reference to the issue of birthrates, perhaps the greatest economic challenge facing Europe”. Furthermore «the topic of resources was raised: Letta raises the question, later taken up in the Council conclusions, on the ability to reopen a debate to mobilize private capital on these challenges and ensure that they can remain in the European market, instead of finding conditions better in other realities.”

The «biggest European challenge is the birth rate» indicates Meloni, without underestimating the theme migrants. «I spoke this morning with the president Ursula von der Leyen of the theme of migrants, bringing together the theme of Lebanon and Tunisia: the flows of irregular migrants towards Italy are decreasing significantly, which shows that the work done brings results” commented Meloni.

The possible sale of Agi

When answering a question about the possible sale of the news agency Act, Meloni harshly declared: «In recent weeks I have read many falsehoods about myself, I fear that Italy could become the home of fake news. One of these is that I would have given input to this type of initiative on the AGI.” Adding that «I don’t know if those who inspired these readings were used to using the owned by the state Italian to solve the private problems of their friends, but that’s not my interpretation of what state-owned companies are for.”

In short, «I don’t know anything about what he’s doing Eni with AgiI have never dealt with this matter and I am not interested”, she reiterated, underlining that “state-owned companies must also do their best for that part of national interest. I don’t deal with this matter, I don’t know if there is a negotiation, it’s not my responsibility and I don’t think it should be my responsibility.” (All rights reserved)
