Migrants, Meloni on Vespa: “It is an illusion to arrive at peace without support from Kiev. Is there a problem with Schlein? Democracy is never a problem

“Five minutes”. Bruno Vespa’s curtain rises on Giorgia Meloni. The prime minister christens the new daily Raiuno strip conducted by the “Porta a Porta” specialist. And immediately, in an anticipation relaunched by the program to the agencies, he returns to the tragedy of Crotone: “I want to reiterate my condolences for a tragedy that cannot leave anyone indifferent”. Then he adds that he wrote to the leaders of the European Council and the EU Commission on migrants “to ask that what we discussed at the last meeting of the European Council be immediately made concrete”. Meloni continues on Bruno Vespa’s “Five Minutes” broadcast: «The tragedy of Crotone cannot leave us indifferent. due to the government’s provisions on NGOs. That route is not covered by NGOs. This simply demonstrates that more people leave and more people risk dying. The only way to deal seriously and humanely with this matter is to stop departures. And on this serves a Europe which, in addition to declaring its availability, acts quickly”. Then, the passage on the war in Ukraine. “I understand all the difficulties and doubts of citizens but I also believe that it should be clear that it is an illusion to think that if if we didn’t support the Ukrainians we would have peace. We would not have peace but an invasion and that invasion would bring war closer to home, this is the scenario”. And he adds: “We do not spend money to buy weapons that we send to the Ukrainians, we already have weapons that we fortunately believe we don’t have to use today, so there is nothing we are taking away from the Italians to stave off a war that could also affect the Italians». Naturally, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni does not miss the new course that emerged from yesterday’s vote by the Democratic Party rhymes and underlines that she has called Elly Schlein: «I think it is a very interesting scenario, I 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 hasn’t worried me, it has never frightened me». And again to Vespa’s question: “I’ve heard you say – she added – that the Democratic Party will be a problem for the Meloni government”. «Look – Meloni articulates – democracy has never been a problem for us, if anything it has been for the left, for us the comparison if it is made on ideas is simply good news. I’m certainly ready for a confrontation and I wish you good luck again».
