Meloni lands in Brussels and tones down: “The Italian positions are at the top”. And on Santanchè: “The government’s yes to the Visibilia agenda is not a political act, he will clarify in the Chamber”

“For us, the conclusions of the European Council are an excellent starting point. On migration, Tunisia, flexibility in the use of funds as regards economic matters, on the first steps for a European sovereign wealth fund, there are the Italian positions. ” So the premier Giorgia Meloni at a press point in Brussels, shortly after disembarking in Brussels. Her words immediately appeared softer than yesterday’s in Parliament.

“On the subject of migration, what is written today in the conclusions of the European Council was probably unthinkable eight months ago. We have really managed to change the point of view, also with the contribution of other nations, from the age-old division between countries of first arrival and countries of secondary movements to a single approach”. “The twelve billion” more announced by Ursula von der Leyen for migration in the context of the budget review “are a good starting point. It is important to understand that to solve this problem we need money that must not be spent only on security. We need cooperation”

“I said what I think about the ECB, we have already taken action on mortgages, it is a sensitive issue. More needs to be done, especially in the face of the choices that are being made. The Economy Minister is discussing this, the government’s commitment must be everyday,” he added.

Finally on Santanchè affair: the government’s yes to the Visibilia agenda “must not be interpreted politically. The minister will be in the Chamber and will clarify”.
