That strange feeling with the Dutch, Meloni mends relations with countries considered hostile
[ad_1]
Break the mould, build new international relations even with usually unfriendly countries and governments. Giorgia Meloni has been moving like this since she took office in Palazzo Chigi. Reducing distances, investing in contact areas leaving behind the roughness of the past are the cardinal points of the map on which the prime minister is drawing her government’s foreign policy.
Objective to weave new alliances in Europe
A useful approach to strengthen relations in Delhi as in Abu Dhabi, just to mention the last two trips, but also to weave new alliances in Europe. The meeting today in Rome with Mark Rutte also fits into this pattern. It is not the first time that the Dutch prime minister and the Italian prime minister have had the opportunity to speak face to face. They already did so at the last European summit and the visit to Palazzo Chigi to be held this afternoon also takes place in the run-up to the European summit in March which will once again focus on migration policies.
On the table the issue of the EU flow management strategy
A meeting that will take place a few days after the tragedy of Cutro and the commitment made by the Commission in the letter sent to Meloni by Ursula von der Leyen to govern the migratory phenomenon with “effective and lasting” solutions to be included in the new Pact for migration and the asylum on which, however, an agreement has not yet been reached.
The crux of the relocation of migrants
Meloni is well aware that one of the points on which there is the greatest friction, even from the Dutch government, is that of the relocation of migrants, of the so-called secondary movements. A measure of which, however, Meloni has never made a flag. Also because the possible relocation concerns a small minority of migrants and is certainly not decisive for stemming the thousands of landings on the Italian coasts. Meloni will also repeat it in today’s meeting with Rutte who in the meantime has taken positions very close to those of the Italian government on NGOs during the last European Council.
Distant positions on the reform of the Stability Pact
A closeness that should also reappear on the occasion of the appointment in Brussels on 23 March and on which the two Heads of Government will return to discuss each other in this bilateral meeting where they will not fail to verify new possible but equally very difficult approaches also on the other decisive dossier which will be on the table of the 27: the reform of the Stability Pact.
