EU, Meloni isolated: “The solutions being discussed have not been agreed upon”
Yesterday’s informal meeting of the 27 EU countries to Brussels, to decide the appointments, did not lead to the classic white smoke. On the one hand there is the desire of the Popolari, Socialists and Liberals to have him re-elected as president of the Commission Ursula von der Leyen and already pre-establish a nomination package for key ministers, but on the other side there is Italy which instead is in no hurry to close, in fact Prime Minister Meloni is comfortable waiting for the outcome of the elections France at the end of the month. A landslide victory for the Right Le Pen it could overturn all current scenarios. Meloni felt immediately isolated at yesterday’s meeting in Brussels. “The method is wrongI’m not willing – Meloni spoke clearly and Il Corriere della Sera reports it – to accept a pre-packaged package of appointments, the solutions being discussed have not been agreed upon with everyone. But above all it makes no sense to talk about names without first carrying out a serious and in-depth analysis of the vote.”
The Prime Minister’s outburst and disappointment are recorded while around her – continues Il Corriere – negotiators such as the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk they tell the agencies that a “sufficient majority exists even without Meloni“. In any case, Meloni’s no is not a rejection of a possible encore by Ursula von der Leyen, underline Italian sources participating in the summit. The Italian prime minister also says no to Viktor Orbán. The Hungarian wants to join his group, but they are more disadvantages than advantages and therefore the doors of the ECR, the Conservative party that the prime minister heads, will remain closed. Meloni also has another goal, gain more deputies in addition to those elected in the ECR (his conservative group) to reach ad at least 84 appearances and in this way overcome numerically i Liberals and have even more say in appointments.
