ROME (ITALPRESS) – “This government, like everyone else, has sworn an oath to the Constitution, has the task of serving the country. Yesterday we were talking about how to build a Europe that is close to the people and is not an entity that only regulates, how to plan a defense without affecting other expenditures. To turn a very serious discussion about our future into a controversy about things, perhaps important things, that happened over eighty years ago is something that is beyond what politics should do. I wish the parliament had given a strong mandate yesterday to Giorgia Meloni to go to Europe and make important speeches for Europe. Instead we manage to send messages outside that we are a split Italy with a parliament that is divided.” This was said by Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, host of today’s episode of “Straight and Reverse,” commenting on the controversy over Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s speech in the chamber critical of the Ventotene Manifesto.
“Peace is based on a balance: you have weapons, I have weapons, and no one touches the other. We would like peace to be based on a lower balance: the ideal peace is one in which nations that used to be enemies are both unarmed. But if one is heavily armed and the other is unarmed, then there is no balance and therefore we risk not keeping peace,” he added, commenting on the European rearmament plan.
