Italy-France alliance on the stability pact?

What is happening between Italy and France in view of the revision of the EU Stability Pact? Damato's Scratches

If "Meloni knocks on France and Spain", as the headline of La Repubblica , to obtain a stability plan in Europe with more bearable constraints than the one suspended due to Covid, at least the miracle arrives from Paris – for the Scottish showers often reserved for Italy from France – of a willingness to help. And through the mouth of a minister – the one for European affairs Laurence Boone, Raffaele Fitto's counterpart in Rome – who last year caused a diplomatic incident with Italy practically doubting the democratic nature of the government led by a woman of the right and demanding a certain "vigilance" towards him. "We are collaborating with Italy", this time Boone declared to Corriere della Sera , who depicted her with Macron, speaking precisely of the corrections to be made to the old and too rigid stability pact of the Union. And considering physiological that they remain "political issues on which we differ".

Of course, it still remains to be verified whether it is truly a miracle and not an escapade, like others in the past, in the usual privileged relationship between Paris and Berlin. If it really is a miracle, the resigned or I don't know what else Mario Monti will have to change his mind, who no later than yesterday warned from the top of his laticlavio in an interview with La Stampa that we will not have "discounts" because "Germany will not give in" , although it too is starting to have problems of economic and financial stability.

Also taken by this problem, which has just been re-proposed to her government colleagues by the aforementioned Fitto, and in some ways also by the Northern League's Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, Prime Minister Meloni did not rush to applaud Sergio Mattarella's speech at the meeting from a distance clear. Which L'Identità , the newspaper directed by the openly homosexual Tommaso Cerno, summarized in the title "Vannacci yours": from the name of the general author of the book "The world upside down" in which the President of the Republic gave the impression of having found traces , at least, of unconstitutional "hatred" towards "the different".

“The silence of Palazzo Chigi”, La Stampa complained on the second page, developing this passage from an editorial by the director Massimo Giannini, on the first page, which somewhat confusingly puts together the Matteo Salvini of 2019 and the Giorgia Meloni of this 2023: “ Once the alcoholic fumes of the Papeete in Milano Marittma were disposed of, the patriots discovered the deafening silences of the Apulian farmhouse chosen by the premier and family for the holidays.

Of the speech by the head of state in Rimini, even at the hoped-for cost of embarrassing a family as entirely Christian Democrat as Mattarella's, director Giannini wrote: "Much more than a political-social text: an ethical-moral manifesto…. Reading all of it… one feels like longing for the old DC, if whoever led it in the last years of the First Republic hadn't debased it to a mere coterie of power or a subgovernment business committee”.
