Stop the Mes, all the reactions. Calenda reveals: “I wrote to Meloni, look, sanity is blown up. She wrote to me, I know”

In the aftermath of the closure on the Mes license plate Giorgia Meloni and Charles Calenda to reveal: “I sent Meloni a Whatsapp, look, 2023 is the year in which Healthcare blows up. I know she wrote to me, but… I told her, you have to do this otherwise the families, rightly, they will go to the streets to protest”.

The European Commissioner for the Economy also intervenes Paul Gentiloni. “I respect the position of the prime minister who said she did not want to use it,” said the former prime minister in an interview with ‘Radio Anch’io’. “Then there is another issue: the revision of the statute of this fund with which Italy agreed a couple of years ago. I think ratifying this statute is in the order of things because pacta sunt servanda and because ratifying it does not necessarily mean using it”.

The pressure from the commissioner comes after Meloni’s stop. The premier, guest of Bruno Vespa on Rai1, however, he left the question of ratification open: “The parliament will eventually discuss it”. In fact, Italy is the only country of the 27 member states that has not yet ratified the reform of the European mechanism. The premier’s ambiguity has only sparked criticism from the opposition. “Nobody has asked today to use it. This debate is not on the agenda. What is being discussed is the ratification of the reform of its founding treaty, which as Italy we have already shared and signed as it improves the current statute”, he says Peter DeLucadeputy and vice president of the Pd group in the Chamber.

Matthew Renzi on Twitter he speaks ironically of “Meloni’s masterpiece”. “To spite Europe – says the leader of Italia Viva – he leaves Brussels 37 billion which was used for waiting lists, nurses and hospitals. But why? It is an own goal, the national interest comes before ideology sovereignist”. Position similar to that of the deputy Pd Peter Fassino: “Saying no to the Mes means giving up 37 billion for health care and penalizing above all the most fragile. There is no petty propaganda on the health of citizens”. According to the dem exponent, the no to the European fund “is a diversion to cover the many 180-degree changes in Europe, demonized for years and now invoked to avoid the country’s isolation”.

The MEP also intervenes Sandro Gozi, former Pd and now Renzian MEP. “The comedy of art continues. Meloni this time invokes the blood test on the Mes to cover yet another reverse in Europe. Because Italy will ratify it despite Meloni having shouted ‘never, ever’. Everything and its opposite is the real motto of the sovereign government”, he attacks on Twitter.
