Giorgia Meloni has dismissed the idea that Italy will have to choose sides between the US and Europe as “childish” and “superficial”, insisting she would do whatever is necessary to defend her country’s interests.
In her first interview with a foreign newspaper since coming to office in 2022, the Italian prime minister said it was “in the interests of everyone” to overcome severe strains in the transatlantic relationship, describing some European leaders’ reactions to Donald Trump as “a bit too political”.
Italy’s nationalist conservative leader made clear she did not see the US president as an adversary and she would continue to respect Italy’s “first ally”.
Ah, so she chooses Trump.
I think she’s subtly saying “I will help out whoever gives me better bribes”
Also, wtf does “too political” mean? You are in politics, that’s what happens. I’m not gonna be a nascar driver and say there’s too much driving involved.
This world is so fucked
And Starlink FFS
This article a typical example of how mainstream media normalises contemporary fascist leaders.
We need to move on without these people for now. European interests can’t wait, especially not for fascists.
Hey, but she’s a post-fashist…
Obvious /s
Meloni also said she hoped Trump’s “confrontational” approach on European defence would be a much-needed “stimulus” for the continent to take responsibility for its own security.
It looks like it will. Trump is uniting Europe and we’re finally asking ourselves some hard questions. European de-facto dependency on the US for defense has never been ideal.
Then why is she blocking the EU‘s 800€ billion defense funding plan?
I remember vividly how Europeans on the internet kept insisting that she‘s not a fascist and Italians totally didn‘t vote for fascism. Nationalist conservatives my ass. Let‘s call a duck a duck.
