Flood, Meloni leaves the G7 early: “Conscience dictates”

Giorgia Meloni leaves the G7 in Hiroshima early to closely monitor the emergency in Emilia-Romagna. “The government has been mobilized, I want to thank the more than 5,000 people who are stationed in Emilia Romagna and are helping with the relief efforts and have faced the emergency, and all the ministers and members of the government who are dealing with the situation”, explains the ruler at a press conference at the Grand Prince Hotel in the Japanese city – but my conscience after two days and further away from the national territory in such a complex moment forces me to return. It is a choice that I have shared with the other managers”.

Meloni then thanked the leaders of the summit for the “solidarity that manifested itself at 360 degrees” and for the “availability of help when necessary: ​​it is a choice that they understood and supported”. The return “also serves me personally to organize the Council of Ministers and the measures that will be taken on Tuesday – explained Meloni -. I spoke about it with Prime Minister Kishida and President Zelensky, who understood perfectly”.

Among the many issues on the table in Hiroshima is aid to Ukraine. Will Italy participate in the supply of F16s to Kiev? “We don’t have these” fighters, “we are going to make an assessment together with the allies about the possible training of Ukrainian pilots. It is a decision that we have not yet taken and that we will discuss” with the allies, said the prime minister. The issue of immigration is crucial for Italy: “After years of debate in the G7, we brought back the issue of migratory phenomena, human trafficking, how to combat illegal migration, Africa and Tunisia, which will be mentioned in the document. A great theme that Italy knows better than all the others and that it places at 360 degrees”, stated Meloni.
