Conte in Brussels to join the Greens: “Eurosceptic alliances mistake of youth”

The 5 Star Movement is ready to join the Green group. Giuseppe Conte from Brussels rejects the Eurosceptic temptations as a “youthful mistake” and announces that in the near future of the grillini, on a continental level, there will be a new location. «There was a large confrontation lasting a couple of hours to try to focus on the economic and social policy guidelines, the issue of civil rights. It was a good comparison and therefore we will continue to update each other. If the premises are there, if the premises are fulfilled, and it seems to me that the ‘good morning’ is there, we will certainly be able to evaluate our entry into their group. But everything must be done with political clarity,” says the former prime minister. “We – he continues – are not interested in finding how to say support”, a contingent thing. «We are interested in a political project. We have clear our political project if we can strengthen it in a context also of confrontation with other national delegations this pleases us ».

It is a move criticized by the Italian Greens. «Does Conte want to build a greener and more supportive Europe? It is not credible by those who approved, as Prime Minister, an Energy and Climate Plan that violated EU climate objectives; who approved a building amnesty in line with what Berlusconi did or filled our agricultural soils with toxic sludge thanks to one of his laws» say the co-spokespersons of Europa Verde-Verdi and deputies of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra Angelo Bonelli and Eleonora Evi . «Is the Count who approved with Salvini, complete with souvenir photos, the security decrees and the seizure of NGO ships that rescued migrants at sea, helping to transform the Mediterranean into a cemetery? If Conte had been Prime Minister today, would he have said no to sending arms to Ukraine? ».
