Joys and sorrows for Meloni between migrants and Ukraine
What's new for the Meloni government in foreign policy. The Scratches of Damato
JOY AND PAIN FOR MELONS
The clearing of the migrants did not last long that was felt to their advantage not only by Giorgia Meloni but even by the manifesto, on the left, in the willingness announced by Paris to have the 234 rescues in the Mediterranean landed in Marseille by the Ocean Viking ship, flying Norwegian flag. Which now seems en route no longer towards the French port but towards the Italian coasts, this time in Sardinia and not in Sicily. The mayor of Porto Torres has almost already put himself on a quay to wait. And this for an intervention by Brussels against the line of the Meloni government which has somehow bypassed the Elysée, forcing it into a controversy with Rome which has, among other things, covered President Emmanuel Macron from attacks by the Italian right.
WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN ITALY AND FRANCE
Now he is "collision course" again, as he went back to writing the manifesto . Collision not only and not so much with Paris but – I repeat – with Brussels, where the Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani could contend in a few days with the counterparts of the countries joining the Union. And it will not be an easy comparison, given that the government of Rome and the others do not agree on the words either, one speaking of "migrants" to be distributed among the various EU countries and the others of "castaways" to be welcomed in any case. safer port and closer to the waters in which they were rescued.
MIGRANT DOSSIER
In objective difficulties on the side of migrants – whose emergency nature is also controversial, given by now the chronicity of the landings on the Italian coasts and their consistency inferior to the migrants who reach by land the other countries of the Union from their poor or bloody lands wars, like Ukraine since last February – Giorgia Meloni and her government, which is still in its infancy, are however, in some way making up for another front. Which is precisely that of the war in Ukraine. Where the facts, despite their undoubted drama, at the cost of so many human lives, are confirming the Atlanticist conviction that Western military aid to Ukraine is not incompatible but complementary to the pursuit of a just peace, to be negotiated not to give Putin victory but to save Ukraine invaded by its troops.
WHAT HAPPENS IN UKRAINE
"The great Russian retreat," the headline of the Republic , referring to what is now an escape from Kerson : so vast and hasty, involving forty thousand soldiers, that it made Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his generals suspicious. Who fear an operation aimed at letting the West lower its guard, reduce its commitment and prepare a new, more bloody offensive, perhaps in the context of a political situation in the United States that is more difficult for President Joe Biden. Which, however, seems to have come out of the so-called medium-term elections, thank goodness for the forecasts of its opponents. The main one, however, former President Donald Trump, certainly more comfortable to Putin as an interlocutor, is by no means – with his candidates – the beneficiary of the electoral and parliamentary gains of this appointment with the polls.
"Russians en route, Ukrainians celebrating", was the title of Libero in a somewhat reductive way on a political level, omitting or underestimating the celebration of those in Italy – certainly more in Milan than in Rome in the peace demonstrations that opposed each other on Saturday last – have supported and support with greater conviction and coherence the cause of the country attacked by a Putin wrapped in the imperial ghost of Peter the Great, or the more recent Stalin and his companions.
