Does Germany hearten Meloni?
From Germany in recession (economic and political) comes good news for Giorgia Meloni. Damato's Scratches
From Germany in recession, and also a bit in psychological depression with that crash landing of Foreign Minister Annalisa Baerbock, forced to give up her indo-oceanic mission due to the too old and damaged plane on which she had embarked , good news arrives for Gorgia Meloni. Which finds, in particular, in the local openings of the Cdu, an important component of the European People's Party, on the extreme right of Alternativa, a confirmation of its decision, in Italy, to oppose the vetoes of the force secretary Antonio Tajani on the French right of Marine Le Pen, allied in the European Parliament with Matteo Salvini and the Germans of the AfD, for the creation of a new majority in the Union. "Germany in crisis opens up to the ultra-right", headlined La Stampa , going beyond the Cdu as well.
THE AUTHORITY OF MELONI AND THE DINNER WITH BLAIR
"I don't think I have this authority", the Italian prime minister replied a few days ago in the passage of an interview of hers on the veto, precisely, of the vice president of the Council and foreign minister, as well as secretary of Forza Italia, of the French right and similar in the construction of new political balances in the Strasbourg Parliament which will be elected next year.
She will not have this "authority", perhaps even in the eyes of "Antonio", as she amicably calls her ally, but the premier continues to move internationally without complexes. Starting with that of the "underdog" who put himself behind in the presentation speech to the Chambers last year, for trust. Even in her short vacation within a vacation, in Albania reached from Puglia with her family on a scheduled ferry, the Prime Minister surprised and displaced opponents and friends with the "mystery of the dinner with Rama and Tony Blair" on which she headlined the his background La Repubblica .
All right, the former British prime minister after the so-called Brexit, i.e. the exit of Great Britain from the Union, could also be considered extraneous to current and future community affairs. But Tony Blair is part of a certain international establishment like the centenary Henry Kissinger , whom Meloni recently met in the Italian embassy in the United States, after the summit at the White House with President Joe Biden. A piece of news, that of the meeting with the former US secretary of state, who was also returning from a trip to China, which has taken on its significance both for the invitation addressed by the premier to the guest and for the response received and the two hours of the conversation that followed.
At that level, no time is wasted, as may have happened to those who interviewed the former mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno in Italy to gather his somewhat futuristic project of a grillino-type populist movement against the former party colleague determined to combine the right with liberal conservatism, and not with defunct fascism but evoked by those who find it convenient to always feel it around the corner, like a ghost.
