Meloni strengthens her side with Milei (and Trump)

Italy strengthens relations with Argentina. Giorgia Meloni it was in fact received by Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada. And, on this occasion, the Argentine president called for a coalition of free nations.

“All nations that have common goals can work together, collaboratively,” he said. “Not only Italy and Argentina, but also other countries in the free world that share our values. An alliance of free nations united against tyranny and poverty,” he continued, before concluding: “We must defend freedom. Even if we are few, we shed light and open the way, because, as I always say, victory and war do not depend on the number of soldiers, but on the strength that comes from heaven.” “The one between me and the president Milei it is also a political sharing, and the political sharing between two leaders who are fighting to defend the identity of the West, the cornerstones of its civilization, the freedom and equality of people, the democracy of systems, the sovereignty of nations ”, said the Melons. Let us remember that both our Prime Minister is Milei have dealt a severe blow to the People’s Republic of China: the Melons did not renew the controversial memorandum on the New Silk Road, while the Argentine leader blocked Buenos Aires’ membership of the Brics.

Already much of the press is saying that Mileiin his meeting with the tenant of Palazzo Chigi, he would have invoked a “sovereignist international”: an expression that occasionally resurfaces, with evidently derogatory connotations, and dating back to the times of Steve Bannon. In reality, this time the situation is a little more complex.

The Argentine president is a close ally of Donald Trump. That Trump who, already during the last electoral campaign, forged relationships with various international leaders: from the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban to the Polish president Andrzej Dudapassing through the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and for the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman. Not only that. Trump plays historically on the bank also with Nigel Farage and has links with some members of the British Tories. Furthermore, beyond Mileihe also has good relations with her Melonswhich in turn boasts significant links with thatElon Musk who is poised to prove to be a key figure in the nascent US administration.

In short, what is taking shape is not a “sovereignist international” but a network of heads of state and government which, woven over time by Trumphas as its clear objective that of formulating an alternative political line to progressivism. In this sense, the bank with Milei it is useful to Melons to strengthen their relations with the American president in pectore. This is a scenario that could consolidate Rome’s role not only within the European Union but also in the Mediterranean.

The French president Emmanuel Macron and the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz they are in fact increasingly weaker from a political point of view, while the return of Trump at the White House offers greater margins of maneuver to Ecr and Patriots. On the other hand, Trumpplaying side-by-side with Netanyahu And bin Salmanaims to restore the logic of the Abraham Accords: agreements that could also be extended to the Maghreb. Such an eventuality would make the Melons which, especially in the context of the Mattei Plan, could take on an important role of diplomatic mediation.
