"I am told to talk to Orban and Salvini to clarify support for Ukraine. In both cases, decisions and votes count. The Italian government has a clear position". These are the words of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in her speech yesterday in reply to the Chamber as part of communications ahead of the EU Council. "I think that the argument that the position of the Italian government, in the face of the world watching us, is not clear on the subject of Ukraine is not sustainable," the Prime Minister continued, adding, "Today, thanks to the fact that there is a center-right majority, Italy is a nation that respects its commitments, and we cannot say whether it would be the same if the current opposition were in government. We have already seen it happen with the Draghi government". "It seems to me," the PM said, "that there is a bigger problem in the oppositions, and I'm not just talking about the crystal-clear position of the M5S, but the ambiguities of the PD, which explains to us what to do but then abstains on sending weapons to Ukraine”.
