Conte attacks Meloni: “You are Draghi’s draft on weapons for Ukraine”

About the war in Ukraine “his government is the bad copy of Draghi’s“. Giuseppe Conte intervened with these terms in the debate in the Chamber with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, on the eve of the European Council. The little more than ten minutes of speech by the president of the M5s were a direct attack against the premier. Not only the conflict unleashed by Russia in Ukraine, also on personal accusations the former prime minister wanted to make a jab at Meloni, who had brought him into question in the Senate yesterday.

“Weapons have gone from defensive to more and more offensive. We cannot support further military supplies and we urge all of Parliament to get out of this misunderstanding“, said Conte. According to which at the time of Draghi the M5s had assumed the responsibility of sending weapons “to an attacked country, but in the belief that strong diplomatic action was accompanied by weapons. Those principles have been betrayed. Why is no voice raised in Italy to distance itself from our English ally who has announced the shipment of depleted uranium shells? In a conflict with an atomic power, there are no winners, only losers. You are leading Italy into the war. I recognize that you said you wanted to put your face on it, but it’s a bronze face“, added the former premier. Who introduced his speech by apologizing for the lack of voice:”Because yesterday I gave a voice to the many voiceless exodates of the superbonus“.

On immigration, however, the accusation was that of making propaganda: “You had announced the naval blockade, but with you the landings have tripled”. While on the Mes Conte he said it was “the next turnaround of this government”. Then, precisely, the final passage, dedicated to responding directly to yesterday’s statements by Meloni, who said at Palazzo Madama: “I’d rather resign than go to Europe like Conte”. “But I got 209 billion euros, you got nothing, in fact it risks making us lose the funds from the Pnrr”, was the angry response. “Even a member of her party in 2020 acknowledged that she had achieved results in Brussels. Her name was Giorgia Meloni”.
