The resignation of Gennaro Sangiuliano from Minister of Culture they are due to “a private matter” in which “there is no wrongdoing” and which certainly “will not weaken the government”. Georgia Meloni he makes it clear that, on the other hand, «the king is dead, long live the king, a minister has resigned, good work to a new minister» and opens his speech to the Cernobbio Economic Forum shedding light on what had become the late summer gossip.
There premierinterviewed by the director of the Corriere, Luciano Fontanadid not shy away from numerous questions, even on a topic that had been a hot topic until yesterday, with the sensational twist. A topic in the spotlight for the media, even if at a certain point the audience of entrepreneurs present in the room did not hide their impatience on the subject and raised a wall of ‘enough’ at the second question on the subject.
“I’m not saying this about the specific case but for the many women who have looked at this story probably as I did: my idea of how a woman should earn her space in society is diametrically opposed to that of this person”, she nevertheless sends to say Melons which returns to not mention Mary Rosaria Boccia also because “I don’t think I should argue with this person”, he cuts it short.
“I intend to do my job, do it well and until the end of the legislature”, he says, continuing along the lines of reasoning on the affair that led to the changing of the guard at the Roman Collegeand on how many, he suggests, ‘were rooting for a fatal stumble on the path of Chigi Palace. «I also think that Italians understand a certain double standard, that more importance is given to things that would be less relevant and less to things that would be more relevant», he continues. Prime Minister she then says she is “very shocked by the disproportion of articles that have been dedicated to the minister’s private affair Sangiuliano compared to those dedicated to an investigation, which carried out the Perugia Public Prosecutor’s Officewhich tells of state officials who for years have made hundreds of thousands of illegal accesses to the databases of this nation, reasonably – he continues – to blackmail people”.
Returning to the concreteness of the dossiers on the table of the government, Melonswho had met with the Ukrainian President shortly before, Volodymyr Zelenskyfor a bilateral meeting that according to both went “very well”, reiterated Italy’s support for theUkraine: «It is a choice of national interest, which will not change». And also that «We must not give up. I do not think that Ukraine’s fate is so sealed. I think that we must not fall for Russian propaganda. The data say something different, it is not true that we have no hope of winning. It is a stalemate».
Then, space for theEUto the new ones nominations and finally to the maneuver. «Some news should arrive next week. I have no reason to believe that Italy will not be given its due. Nobody wants Italy not to be given its role», he stresses with a reference to the nomination, considered imminent by observers, of the minister Raffaele Fitto to executive vice president of the EU Commissionwith the wallet at theEconomy.
There premier expresses “optimism” about the role that the Village in the next commission Europe. As for «Dense I think he really deserves to be thanked for the extraordinary work he has done on Pnrr», he adds. The Floorhe says again Melons«will be in good hands in the coming years. All of Italy must thank Dense for the work done and for what he will do for theEurope».
A mention also to the relationships with the United States: «The great nations do not change the system of alliances based on the change of governments. The American administration is led by a Democrat and since the beginning of my government exports have increased by 7 billion. We must remain calm», as well as on the relations «between the United States and Europe. Pay attention to what are today the geo-global balances».
From the foreign policy to internal scenarios. A passage on the maneuver could not be missed. Certainly “there will not be the abolition of the single allowance”. And equally certainly there is the will to do more and more “with the seriousness of maintaining a budget policy that tells that the season of bonuses and money thrown out the window, of resources put into things that do not provide any multiplier, is over”.
“There is little money and all the more reason it cannot be squandered – he underlined – This is my budget policy and that of the majority, beyond legitimate demands”.
There is no lack of answers to the questions about Industry 5.0 «perhaps – he explains – one of the things done by this government which I have not been able to give adequate visibility. But we are talking about 6.3 billion euros available to companies to make their work more energy and digitally efficient. It is added to Industry 4.0to which 6.4 billion euros had been allocated, so we are talking about over 12 billion euros. It would not have been possible if we had not carried out the famous revision of the Pnrr».
“If there are things that can be improved” from a bureaucratic point of view, he underlines Melons«I am absolutely available. As well as to evaluate the terms of any extensions. The measures, in my opinion, are put in place, we evaluate how they work and then we decide how to proceed. Sometimes we need to have the courage to say, ‘I imagined this measure, but it didn’t work’. The better the measure works, the more we will be interested in carrying it forward».
So many issues on the table – for an intervention whose timing is dictated by the meeting with Zelensky first and the departure for the Paralympics immediately after the meeting with the audience of Villa d’Este – and a joke to close: “Mine is the seventh longest-lasting government. If I get to Christmas it will be the sixth… It’s a very easy ranking to climb. I still have to do the math on Easter, but I’m superstitious…”
