The socialists, struggling with the Madrid crisis, go under the classroom on the environment and immigrants. And Ursula “folds” in Rome on Kiev
While Pedro SánchezSpanish premier and first standard bearer of European socialism, has more than a grain in the house and struggles to keep the government standing, the majority Ursula faces a difficult moment. More shaky than in the last semester of the first legislature, when half of the Green regulations saw the opposition of ECR and PPE. Yesterday the socialists left the roadway. Twice.
Last week, in a surprise event, the right party Patriots for Europe had ensured the right to guide the climate bill, which will define the trajectory to reach climatic neutrality by the middle of the century. This led the leftists of the left to believe that it was unlikely that the bill was approved by Parliament in time for the UN Cop30 summit scheduled in Brazil in November, where the EU should present itself with a commitment strengthened for climate action. The German Social Democrat Tiemo Wölken He recalled that, in the past, urgent procedures have been used for the dossiers concerning the automotive industry, deforestation and wolf hunting and which, therefore, should also have been used for the “central crisis” of our time: global warming. So Renew, socialists and green gathered to ask for the emergency procedure and accelerate the process of the climate law for 2040. Result, the MEP voted: 300 in favor and 379 against. Full -blown blow.
It went even worse on the immigration theme. The left parties proposed an amendment to eliminate the reference to the Memorandum in agreement Italia-Albania from the EU Parliament report on the Balkan country. Instead in Strasbourg 546 yes (against 94 no), they decided that the reference to the agreement of the government of Giorgia Meloni should be kept in that document. “Nobody can say that Parliament is against the agreement,” he commented Alberico Gambino(ECR) Vice -president of the Foreign Affairs Commission, according to which “the mandate that European citizens have given about immigration is clear. It is also important to emphasize that the Balkans have a strategic function in the fight against illegal immigration and as regards European security “. Previously, the position supported by the Greens was that it was “unacceptable” that the European Parliament limited itself to “to take note” of the Italy-Albania protocol regarding migration, as part of the Commission report on the country which has requested adhesion to the EU. «The result achieved today (yesterday, ed) In Parliament, where a very large majority of Deputies decided to maintain the reference to the Memorandum in agreement Italia-Albania shows two things, “he commented Carlo Fidanzachief delegation of Fdi-Ecr. That is, that the agreement becomes a point of reference and that “Pd and left are isolated in Europe”, he concluded. In fact, the balance is inside the Europeanization and within the Council is moving to the right. To push in this direction there are all the difficulties of negotiation with the USA in the context of duties. There are the effects of deindustrialisation due to the transition model wanted at the origin from Frans timmermans And finally, the difficulties deriving from the rearmament plan and the impasse in Ukraine. It is not at all a coincidence that today Ursula von der leyen will fly to Rome to participate together with Volodymyr Zelensky, Friedrich Merz And other leaders at the Conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine. Until a few hours ago, Von der leyen was given by absent. An indiscretion that originated from the socialist annoyance for the choice of the capital and for the active role of the Melons. The change of agenda means that the axis is moving not only within the Parliament and that Ursula found himself obliged to take a flight to Rome. Moreover, with a last minute discovery: at today’s meeting of the willing will participate for the first time an American delegation. To physically arrive in Rome it will be the general Keith Kelloggspecial correspondent for Donald Trump. A sign that the auspices of the Melons On this issue they are realizing. Of course, it does not mean that today a square will be found and that the impasse that has been created after BlackRock’s backdrop will be resolved, which has decided to stop the 15 billion reconstruction project. But what is certain is the new configuration of the volunteers. From conglomerate that deals with rearm to group that goes to talk about reconstruction. And if this happens it is because the socialist push has faded. We will see that it will happen in the coming weeks and in the next plenaries, but the difficulties of the socialists in Spain could soon become Ursula’s difficulties.
