«Certain statements make you smile, like those made by the secretary of the Democratic Party, Schlein, who says “we cannot keep all of Europe at a standstill…”. Maybe he doesn’t know that the ESM exists, anyone who wants to activate it can easily activate it. Perhaps we need to ask ourselves why, at a time when we are all struggling to find resources, no one wants to activate it. This would be the debate to open…” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this, via a video link to the PhotoAnsa2023 presentation at Maxxi in Rome, launching a blow against the opposition.
Then the Prime Minister addresses the issue of Ukraine: “I think it would be a mistake to take a step back: the basic condition for reaching any form of solution to this conflict is to allow Ukraine to be competitive.” The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, said this at the presentation of PhotoAnsa 2023. «If there is no balance of forces on the ground – and there would not have been if we had not made the contribution we made – there is no reason to sit at the table negotiations to find a solution,” he added. “I believe it is right to continue supporting Ukraine, because if we allow the rules of international law to be undermined, crisis scenarios will multiply: giving a sign of determination is essential to us too”, underlined Meloni. “Today, any hypothesis of a total invasion of Ukraine is unimaginable in the face of what, when it was initiated by Putin’s imperialist intentions, was supposed to be a kind of blitzkrieg. This historic resistance of the Ukrainians, thanks also to the support from Western countries, kept the war away from us, because Russia would not stop”, he continued.
