What about Italy? He does his, with caution and attention. The war in Iran and the Middle East in subjugation require rapidity but also rationality. Premier Giorgia Meloni moves on two axes.
It keeps the relationship with Europe constant, thinking more about the energy protection of the EU (avoiding the shock of four years ago with the Russian invasion of Ukraine) than to find a square in a unitary foreign policy always complex, and at the same time keeps the relations with the most important ally, namely Trump’s America.
As always in our country, foreign policy ideologically breaks public opinion and politics. Rather than seeking a synthesis for the credibility and authoritativeness of a nation on the bench of the world, we divide and discuss ourselves trying to identify weaknesses and contradictions of either side.
But these are the moments when one integrates, one puts intelligence and the skills available, and the message is addressed with serenity above all to the oppositions that must help those who govern (it would be the discourse also to inverse parties) to unravel the matassa.
The government has recently allocated a nice group for families and companies on the issue of energy costs and is attentive to the issue of defence as it is placed in the foreground also from Brussels and the sensitivity of so-called European citizens (category always clear mathematically and always elusive culturally).

There will be the most closely involved prime ministers and ministers (East, Defense, Interior, Economics, Enterprises and Made in Italy) and the Chief of State of Defense. In short, a highly institutional deployment as our Constitution provides for in emergency situations.
No fear but and no escalation by us communicators. Trump, who also spoke with Putin, seemed rational and more prudent in drawing a time perhaps shorter than the attack on Tehran, whose military situation and internal power remains evolving and to monitor with non schematic information.
For now you can only stand at the window, geopolitics can not be simplified in a bar discussion, place I love in the metaphor of football but that is not good for the complexity of a new world that needs to be explained to citizens with attention and honesty. Like never in the last decades.
