At the end of the event “Il Giorno de la truth”, Maurizio Belpietro interviewed the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Many themes addressed: referendum, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, “dl security” and the many waste of Italian cinema.
Ended with the most awaited guest “The day of truth”appointment promoted and organized by the newspaper directed by Maurizio Belpietroto tell and take stock of the great challenges of contemporaneity and on the themes that Italy is facing every day. On stage, in fact, the premier Giorgia Meloni, interviewed by the director of “La Truth”, went up. The hottest themes of the moment have been addressed: international relations, wars and internal politics.
Let’s start with the latter. The premier, in fact, immediately wanted to point out the reason why he will go to the seats for the next referendums without however withdrawing the referendum cards: «When the contents of a referendum are not shared there is also the option not to vote. In republican history all the parties campaign for the “non -vote” when there were referendums that did not like, it also applies to us ». Always on a referendum theme, on the express question of the director Belpietrothe Prime Minister said he was categorically contrary to the reduction of times for the recognition of Italian citizenship to foreigners.
With regard to the government’s estate, which as Belpietro points out could be the first of republican history to arrive at the end of his mandate, Meloni once again reaffirmed the solidity of the executive, attacking certain reconstructions made by press by the oppositions, reconstructions that according to the premier “have never happened”. The theme of stability is dear to the premier, so much so that he has also been recognized by several foreign heads of state, accustomed to the usual reshuffles and early elections.
And the results of this government stability are seen, continue Melons: «In the last few days we have made a new issue of BTP government bonds, we have put 17 billion on the market and we have received requests for 210 billion euros, This means that Italy is considered solid and safe».
Moving on to international relations, the field in which according to the Italian left the Belpaese would be isolated, the premier categorically refuses such a statement: “Everything can be said to be so that Italy is isolated, We found our protagonism with the characteristics peculiar to us». After the fall of the last center -right government «It has been said that the only possible role for Italy was that of Junior Partner of France and Germany; I am a little more ambitious».
Meloni continued by stating that “it is important to have excellent relations with France and Germany, and we have them, after which Italy must claim a cooperation between peers and to claim their autonomy, just as others do. Italy must not be the escort wheel of France and Germany».
Subbecked by the Director Belpietro on the theme Dazi, the Premier said how this is a “serious work” theme, even if the technical issues remain in the hands of the European Commission. The premier declares himself confidant that “continuing to encourage moments of encounter, also in relation to the new geopolitical situation, we will be able to find a new dimension for the West”, the balance between allies will be found in short.
On peace in Ukraine, The premier says that the signals from Russia “are not encouraging”“We expected clear and sudden steps forward in the direction of peace, but the opposite happens, Russia continues to respond to these openings with bombing of civil infrastructures and with good proposals only for internal propaganda, I fear that the invasion of Ukraine has more to do with the sphere of influence that Putin wants to recreate that with the enlargement of NATO ».
The choice of Italy to support Ukraine is motivated by the premier with the fact that “if Kiev was capitulated immediately, we would have risked finding ourselves with a war closer to our house, we would have found ourselves in a situation of greater chaos than that of today, it was therefore necessary to create the conditions of balance aimed at starting the negotiation”. According to the premier, without that type of deterrence, the most recent interviews would not have been possible.
On Gaza, Meloni underlines how the government was clear from the beginning, “The war was started by Hamas, and it is always Hamas who, refusing to free the hostages, prevents his conclusion. After that, Israel’s reaction to these terrorist attacks has taken on unacceptable contours; From our point of view Israel must stop immediately and protect the civilian population. I believe that the key actors of this affair can be the Arab countries, in recent years they have behaved responsibly, I think they must be helped ».
Therefore, there was talk of the “security of security”, recently approved in the Senate, “they accuse us of authoritarianism, but is authoritarianism compression of freedom, what freedom have we removed? That of occupying houses or snatching the elderly? I think the first freedom of citizens is to have security guaranteed by the state, and I am proud of the approved rules».
Finally a theme dear to The truththat of very large public funding given for numerous films that no one goes to watch. About the express question of the director Belpietro, who asked for the protests of some of these “artists” for cutting the funds, the premier remarked that the money spent by the government “is the money of the Italians, and must be spent in a weighted way; I think it is not serious that there were people who took millions of public contributions and then at the box office they only made a few dozen spectator. This is something that should not be done and it has cost us 7 billion euros over the years! “.
