Meloni: “Russia? I understand that as a father but I wouldn’t have intervened. I sympathize with the girl

“I take this opportunity to clarify. There have been many controversies, I have read curious things. From my point of view, there is no conflict with the judiciary. Anyone who trusts in the return of the clash between politics and the judiciary I think will be disappointed”. This is how he responds to the controversies (and to the questions of journalists) Giorgia Meloni during the press conference following the NATO summit in Vilnius. A conference that began by speaking of the decisions taken by the Atlantic Alliance and then continued with the declarations on the clashes with the robes born after the attacks of Nordius and the cases Santanchè And Delmaster. But, above all, after days of silence Meloni took on the case Russia. “I understand it as a father, but I would not have intervened,” he said referring to the statements of the president of the Senate on the 22-year-old who denounced his son, Leonardo Apache La Russa, for sexual assault.

Justice

Returning to the theme of justice, the prime minister asked: “Is strengthening the impartiality of the judge a way to attack the judiciary? I don’t agree, this ensures greater efficiency of the judiciary”. And she added: “What is the connection between a controversy that arises over a specific fact and the separation of careers? The two things are not linked. There is the risk of slipping into a debate that does not help. I advise caution. They are two completely different subjects”.

NATO summit

“Without the unity of the Atlantic Alliance no country is safe”. She said it Giorgia Meloni during his press conference following the NATO summit in Vilnius, Latvia. Specifying that during the summit on the timing of defense and deterrence “decisions worthy of the difficult times dictated by the war in Ukraine” were taken, the prime minister congratulated “the secretary Stoltenberg also for the extension of his mandate which speaks of the exceptional nature of the moment but also of a firm and balanced leadership”. Then the announcement: “I was invited by Biden to the White House, where he will go on July 27”.

Italy, Meloni then explained, “has supported and supports the ongoing adaptations, as demonstrated by the contributions on the eastern flank and in the Mediterranean and which have also been claimed. We have claimed the role of the alliance and we have also asked for greater attention in the against the southern flank”. This is because “the war in Ukraine has had heavy repercussions especially on developing countries such as those in Africa. These are consequences that create instability, in which external spoilers and fundamentalisms enter”.

The war in Ukraine

On Ukraine’s entry into NATO, Meloni specified that “important steps forward for Ukraine’s future accession to NATO. The accession process has been streamlined, while reiterating that Ukraine will enter NATO when conditions permit “. And on the ongoing conflict, the prime minister said: “We continue to work to favor the negotiating conditions that lead to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in Ukraine. Without adequate guarantee conditions for Ukraine it is more difficult to reach peace, given that we know that Russia has often violated the agreements signed. We need the guarantee conditions”. Italy, which will host the G7 next year, intends “to play a leading role also on the issue of reconstruction to bet on a future of peace, freedom and well-being”.
