Meloni calls Schlein: “I expect a very tough opposition”

Elly Schlein’s victory “I think it is a very interesting scenario”, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said as she inaugurated Bruno Vespa’s new daily strip on Rai 1 “Cinque Minutes” as a guest. The Prime Minister confessed that he had “called Elly Schlein to wish her personally too, obviously I expect a very tough opposition, I made a very tough opposition, the confrontation of ideas didn’t worry me, it never scared me”.

Meloni also spoke on the shipwreck off the coast of Calabria, where more than 60 migrants died. “I believe that what happened demonstrates what we have always said, because among the many falsehoods I have heard in these hours there is the one according to which these people are said to have been shipwrecked due to the Government’s provisions on NGOs: only that that trafficking it is covered by non-governmental organizations and this demonstrates, trivially, that the point is that the more people leave, the more people risk dying”.

Sempe on this point the premier said that “the only way to deal seriously with this matter in a humane way is to stop the departures and yes, we need a Europe which, in addition to declaring its willingness, acts quickly and this is the reason why I sent a letter to the Council today and to the European Commission to request that what we discussed at the last European Council be implemented immediately“. The one in which, according to Meloni, the European Union recognized the principle according to which migrations should be considered a European problem.

On support for Ukraine, reaffirmed by the trip to Kyiv last week, Meloni specified that “Italy is proud and doesn’t change its opinion from one moment to the next”
