In half an hour, Matteo Renzi against the European Union: there are no leaders

Matteo Renzi made an avalanche during the episode “In half an hour” broadcast on October 29th on Rai3. The leader of Italia Viva attacks the European Union, which has no voice even on an issue as crucial as the crisis in the Middle East. «The European Union doesn’t touch the ball because it has no leaders. Point – says Renzi – The EU must be clear: Hamas is a terrorist organization that did to Israel what ISIS did. So the Palestinians have the right to have a state, but who holds them prisoner? Israel’s bombs? No, those from Hamas. We are one step closer to climbing, perhaps the climb has already begun. Hamas chose the last good moment to blow everything up. In terms of moderate Arab countries, there was no underestimation of Palestine. In the agreements they were making with Israel there was a lot of money for the Palestinians. It’s time for politics to make itself heard. I’m worried about the future of the planet.”

Then, Renzi also spoke about internal politics and the stability of the center-right in the government. «I think the majority is very solid – continued the leader of Italia Viva – I am not the Democratic Party which is divided into 28 parties. These are not divided, they go to 2027. The maintenance of the majority is not at risk, but the maintenance of family accounts is at risk. The center-right with Berlusconi was against taxes, according to Reagan’s principle he didn’t want taxes. With Giorgia Meloni, raise taxes instead.”
