ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The EU’s choices are increasingly complex and complex in order to defend the ability to remain competitive and secure.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in the course of communications in the Senate in view of the European Council.
“The question that weighs more than anything on competitiveness is the cost of energy, we cannot ask European companies to compete and at the same time accept that they pay energy more than their competitors. Decarbonization cannot be deindustrialized, more so in this geopolitical framework – the Premier added – “The energy cost response “must be coordinated and fast”.
“There is a principle on which we insist from the beginning: if a rule produces consequences that were not foreseen or aggravate situations of risks, that rule must be corrected because we must defend citizens from wrong rules. It can be done, thanks to Italy has happened several times,” he added.
SULL’UCRAINA “LA POSIZIONE DEL GOVERNO NON CAMBIA”
“I continue to believe that this stall is the only tool to bring Russia to a serious negotiating table. We all want peace to come, but support for Ukraine is not an alternative to peace, but what makes it possible because if the aggressor can focus on the surrender of the opponent he needs to negotiate? But surrender is conquest. If Ukraine ceases to defend itself we would not have peace, we would discuss the occupation of a European nation and the return of a Soviet imperialism. Only a just peace can last and secure Europe and its interests, the government’s position does not change,” he adds.
“The war in Ukraine continues, with an increasing involvement of civilian targets. Instability in the Middle East produces consequences that go far beyond the borders of the region. Global economic competition is increasingly tightened. Geopolitical tensions affect the safety of our supply chains, the cost of fuel and life, the ability of our companies to compete. And then hybrid threats, migratory pressures, increasing instability and the consequent need to strengthen European security and defence. They’re different files, of course. But they have something in common: they remind us how much what happens outside our borders increasingly affects our daily lives and test the ability of our nation to defend its prosperity and its security,” he said.
“At such a complex moment, in which so many variables escape our control, there is at least one thing that depends on us: to make sure that Europe does not stay to look. Because the conditions of a peace that concerns our continent, and therefore our security, cannot be written without us. For this reason I continue to ask that the Twenty-seven individuals an authoritative figure, with the mandate of all, able to bring to the table the voice of Europe. And if there is no convergence on a name, we are also ready to evaluate different solutions.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in the course of communications in the Senate in view of the European Council. “If for example France, Germany and Great Britain, in the famous E3 format, they think they can do better than we could all together, and so far this is the choice they made, then at least they do it on behalf of everyone and with an official mandate given by everyone. Because I will be honest: I consider secondary the theme of those who sit at which table. I’m interested in who sits at the table, and to say what. I am interested that Europe does not go in a scattered order, it does not offer its side to those interested in feeding divisions and speaking with a single voice. Because a Europe that is divided on formats offers an image of itself childish, and is the only real gift we can make in Moscow. And gifts in Moscow, these days, have already been made enough,” he explains.
“In these years the government has chosen to be present and active on the international scene, with continuity and a clear line. Because the national interest is defended by helping to guide the choices that concern us, not only by subduing its consequences. This is particularly true in Europe. And it is with this spirit that Italy has also worked in view of the next European Council, and that it will address the main topics on the agenda,” he continued.
“L’INTESA SUL GASOLIO RUSSO ANNUNCIATA DA TRUMP E’ MOLTO RISCHIOSA”
“We must also consider the agreement on Russian diesel oil announced last Friday by US President Donald Trump. It is a choice that I consider very risky.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in the course of communications in the Senate in view of the European Council. “Cloudly we all understand, and share, the need to contain the energy prices that weigh on families and businesses, even in Italy. But we must be aware that the price of fuel is mainly due to the war in Iran, not to the conflict in Ukraine. So, the result of this choice is doubt, while the risks are clear – he observes -. A legitimacy for Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, new revenue to finance the war, an implied weakening of the sanctions lever: these are elements that we cannot ignore, and that contradict what has now been done by the Western States, including the United States, to push Putin to sit at the negotiating table.”.
“FONDI PER DIFESA NON SOTTRATTI A OSPEDALI E SCUOLE”
“I remember that greater flexibility for defence and security means essentially additional resources than those permitted by European parameters. It’s not money taken away from health or school: if we don’t spend it on defense, we can’t spend it on anything else. Those who say that more security means less hospitals, resources distracted by essential services from a war-found government, mind knowing to do so.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in the course of communications in the Senate in view of the European Council. “A lot more if the same people who today accuse us of opposition, when they were to the government approve – in full pandemic – an increase of military spending from about 15 billion euros. Then there was no war in Ukraine,” he said.
