ROME (ITALPRESS) – “The center-right is united and will remain so, the government enjoys good health. I have just spoken with both of them, we are in agreement to meet on August 30 to take stock of the recovery and establish priorities in view of the Budget.Economic maneuver, security, growth, lowering the cost of money. These are the commitments in view of the coming year. Then also Rai appointments, indication of the name of the European commissioner and the prison dossier, a matter on which we are very attentive.” Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says this in an interview with Corriere della Sera, regarding yesterday’s meeting in Puglia between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini. “It’s a convivial meeting, they were both in Puglia and they saw each other, there are families, friends… Too much backstory is made about absolutely normal things. We will talk about everything together on August 30,” Tajani stressed, who on the possible citizenship reform explained, “It is not an issue on the government agenda and there is nothing wrong with having different positions on some topics between parties that are also allies and loyal. If we all had the same idea on everything, we would be one party.You can be in the center-right and have different views on some issues. It is not weakness, it is strength: you widen the field of potential voters. “We are not close to or, worse, towing the left. Much less do we do ‘inciucius’. Everything we think we say, we move in the light of day,” the deputy premier says again. “On ius scholae our position has been the same for a long time. Berlusconi was in favor, and on the right it was not taboo. It is not a leftist argument, it is an acknowledgement with respect to a changing reality. And we have no intention of leaving to the left a position that is and can also be center-right. Rights do not belong to the left, they belong to everyone. “Now the country’s priorities are other,” Tajani added. “But we will discuss balanced proposals first of all with our allies, then if others want to collaborate and add to them, welcome. Parliament has the opportunity to debate on such a topical issue. No one can say to the other “you must not talk about these issues or you are doing the left a favor”-we do not take lessons on how to oppose the left and we do not give up our principles. We don’t accept that. We may think differently, but everyone can put forward proposals; this is not an issue on the government agenda.”
