ROME (ITALPRESS) – “A government that has no arguments on foreign policy other than attacking the opposition is an improvised government. It has been in a state of confusion for weeks, with the daily quarrels between Tajani and Salvini, without a clear profile on European and international policy choices. They cannot say a word in favor of a common European defense, but neither can they share a position on the proposed rearmament plan. They are united only in lowering their heads in the face of Trump’s attacks and tariffs on the EU. With Meloni downplaying and calling for calm and Tajani calling for more imports from the US.” Thus Pd Secretary Elly Schlein.
“But the most absurd thing is for Meloni to claim that there is no alternative between being so subservient to Trump that we cannot even criticize him, and breaking the alliance by leaving NATO as well. There is indeed an alternative: it is to take a leap forward in European integration and strategic autonomy, overcoming unanimity, reacting together to tariffs, making a big joint investment plan for industry, social and transitions, and building a real common defense. But I understand that for ideological reasons he has a hard time saying this, so how does he explain it to Orban? So the nationalists’ contradictions will be paid for by our country’s businesses, workers and families. So in order not to even be able to tell Trump that he is wrong, Meloni relegates Italy to the sidelines in Europe,” he added.
