“Italy was the first nation in Europe to regulate private individuals in space, I don’t take orders from anyone, I deal with everyone.” The Prime Minister said this Giorgia Meloni during the response in the Senate, following communications with a view to the EU Council on 19 December, responding to the underlining of your friendship with Elon Muskmade in the Chamber, especially by the Democratic Party and the life senator Mario Monti. “He is my friend – remembers the Prime Minister -. I am friends with many. One of Musk’s achievements is to have made members of the Democratic Party sovereign. A better feat than having gone to space.”
Always addressing the opposition, Meloni states: “Anyone who has an idea different from yours is unpresentable. But it is not always possible to hide behind the opponent’s inpresentability so as not to get into the matter.” And he adds that “the lens” with which the opposition “reads phenomena is always that of friend-enemy. I thank the President of the Republic for saying the same thing, in foreign policy it doesn’t work like that: there are no members of the Democratic Party around the world who are the good guys and who need to be brought closer and everyone else with different political cultures who are the bad guys that need to be removed. If you think about it like that, Europe. He’s already dead and I don’t want to kill him.”
The Prime Minister then attacks the Democratic Party over the process by which the green light was obtained Raffaele Fitto as European Commissioner. “I had a doubt and Alfieri (Senator of the Democratic Party) confirmed to me: the Democratic Party accepted that the Italian European Commissioner was taken hostage to defend the Spanish Commissioner – he explains -. This would be very serious, Senator Alfieri. I had doubts that it would be like this, today you make me sure. But Italians should know that the Italian commissioner, appointed by Italy, was taken hostage to allow the election of the Spanish commissioner. It’s very serious.”
Meloni also focuses on criticism of the call for a vote of confidence in the maneuver: “We tried to do our best to present” the maneuver as quickly as possible, “I asked for as much time as possible for Parliament, we all know that there are constraints, including European ones: I know that trust was placed in agreement with the opposition” but “if there was an agreement on the calendar without a vote of confidence it would be preferable, I would be happy if you agreed to do it without a vote of confidence”.
