Scholz or Macron? Meloni’s uncertain understandings, which ends up being used by the allies

At Palazzo Chigi they say that basically “it has always been like this”. That Italy, forced to take a step backwards compared to France and Germany, can do nothing but insinuate itself into the game of roles between the two favorite friends. At least that’s what pragmatists say. The others, the theorists of the Flame, insist that “now we no longer go with hat in hand, but with our heads held high”. The truth is that, in doubt about what to do, Giorgia Meloni risks ending up used, malgré soi, now by Scholz now by Macron.
