“Satisfaction” for the summit Bornopening on theUrsula bis but also to forms of collaboration with the Patriotsand rapped at Matthew Salvini on theUkraine. These are some of the main themes of the Press conference Of Georgia Meloni at the end of the Alliance summit, marked by various bilateral meetings (Ergondan, Starmer, Duda) and sealed by the meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskywith whom he discussed the ongoing conflict but also the conference for the reconstruction of Ukraine that will be hosted byItaly In the June 2025. The premier it was said “satisfied” of the summit, and in particular of thespecial Correspondent for the south side of the Alliance, which Italy had requested and for which it “intends to present its candidacy”, also discussed with Joe Biden.
The rap on the knuckles to the leader of the League came when he responded on the opportunity to remove limits on the use of Western weapons Kiev to hit in Russia. «We in Ukraine have focused on the systems of air defensewhich is the best way to defend a nation under attack. I also say this to those who from various quarters say that if we continue to send weapons to Ukraine we are fueling the war (as Salvini also said, ed.). It also depends on what we send, because if we had not sent the anti-aircraft defense systems, missiles they would have started anyway, hitting many more people, as we saw a few days ago at theKiev hospital».
The Prime Minister then denied that Salvini is a political problem due to his position on the conflict, claiming in some way to have guaranteed the line: «the majority has always been very united on this matter, as demonstrated by an Italian line that is very clear throughout the world… government he has respected his program and his commitments with a solidity that I must point out we have not seen in all the majorities that preceded us and that we do not see currently even in theopposition».
Meloni has also opened on From the Laylinking his vote to the result that Italy must obtain “for its weight” and to what the outgoing president of the commission will say to Ecrthe group European Conservative chaired by Meloni herself: “as President of the Italian Council my only goal is to bring home for Italy the best possible result. As president of Ecr, von der Leyen will meet our group and based on what she will clearly say we will talk with the other delegations and decide what to do”. The Prime Minister also reduced the political distances with right-wing groups that in Europe have joined the Patriots Of Orban And The Penremembering that in the group «there is Salvini, as there is Vox that was with Ecr until a few days ago.”
«The participation and composition of the European groups does not prevent there from being excellent relations and forms of collaboration, as demonstrated by the Italian case where I feel obliged to point out that the three parties that make up the majority, despite having been together for practically 30 years, have always been in different European groups». On the trip of Orban to Fly And Beijing without a European mandate, it came out like this: “if they were initiatives that could bring some glimmer of peace and diplomacy, I wouldn’t see anything wrong with them, I would say welcome. But if the next day a hospital is bombed, it seems to me that this unfortunately demonstrates that there is no will for dialogue on the part of the Putin’s Russia».
And Orban’s trip to Sea-a-Lago from Donald Trump? «Political leaders have the right to meet other political leaders, I don’t see anything special or strange about it. I don’t think it’s a mystery that Orban may be closer to Trump rather than to Bidenbut in short they are political leaders who talk to each other”, he softened. The question about Bidenjust as he was facing his most difficult press conference: “Did I see him as lucid? I saw him well, he made a good impression on me as president of the United States of America. In short, as a person who is working, who has organized an excellent summit.”
But then he specifies that he doesn’t want to do it “foreign interference” like those he suffered in the Italian vote. And to those who insist on whether he would choose him or Trump if he could vote in USA he replies that «theItaly they United States They are two nations that have extremely solid relations and those relations have never changed despite the changes in governments. And that’s the only thing that interests me.”
