"I think the agreement between Italy and Albania is very important, innovative and shows a spirit of European cooperation". Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this yesterday during question time in the Senate. "While everyone was trying to figure out how I had arrived in Albania, like 'they didn't see us coming', everyone thought I was on vacation and instead I was working on a very important agreement," said Meloni, who added, "I heard all kinds of fake news, such as the one about wanting to build an Italian-style Guantanamo, deporting migrants, that the agreement would violate international law: the only right that the agreement violates is that of human traffickers, which has been guaranteed a lot in the past but not by this government". "The agreement," the prime minister assured, "respects international law because Albania is not Nazi Germany but a state under the rule of law that is a candidate for entry into the EU and chaired by a socialist prime minister, among others".
