Salvini and Meloni quarrel over bills and budget variance. And between the two quarrels comes the third wheel, Silvio Berlusconi , who tries to reassure the EU and warns the allies.
“Our presence in the government is an absolute guarantee that the government will be liberal, Christian, pro-European and Atlanticist”, his words.
Then the aut aut to the allies: "If these gentlemen, our allies, whom I trust and respect, were to leave for different directions , we would not be in the government ."
On Meloni, who told Europe that "the free ride is over", the leader of Forza Italia specified: "I am not commenting on Mrs. Meloni's expressions, I say that we will be an important part of what Europe will do as essential components of the large EPP family . In Italy we are the guarantee ”.
On Russian funds: "For now it's just talk, I absolutely exclude that there have been any subsidies to my party ." A message to the displaced: "I am amazed that some people who had started a political journey with Forza Italia have chosen to enter an adventure that will have no result".
Finally, an adjective for all leaders. Enrico Letta "disoriented" , Giorgia Meloni "determined", Matteo Salvini "passionate", Sergio Mattarella "wise and authoritative", Mario Draghi "prepared and efficient", Carlo Calenda "unrealistic", Matteo Renzi "intelligent and nice" . And Silvio Berlusconi? “Always number one” .
