Meloni calls for the right, united to change the EU

by AI | 20.May 2024 | Europe in brief AI

The first intervenes at the Vox fair, calls the conservatives to unity in the face of the decisive challenge of the Europeans and relaunches the dream of an entirely center-right majority.

"When history calls, people like us do not back down. We have not done so until now and we will not, especially not now," said the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who is also the leader of Fdi and Ecr, in a video link with the Vox event taking place in Madrid on May 19, 2024.

Madrid (ANSA) – Migrants and green “follies”. The family and the rejection of gender theories, the defense of businesses and farmers from competitors who have no rules. Premier Giorgia Meloni appears in a video at the Vox event, revisits identity issues shared (not Ukraine), calls all conservatives to unity in the face of the “decisive” challenge of the European elections. She relaunches, in front of an already electrified audience, the dream of a right-wing majority that ends the “unnatural and counterproductive alliances” that have governed until now in Brussels.

Europe must regain “pride and identity” that the left wants to “erase”, the premier states, with tones much more moderate than other appearances at the festival of the Spanish extreme right party. “I am the first right-wing Prime Minister, the first woman”, she claims, rejecting accusations of wanting to “destroy Europe” which only “strengthened us”. The premier does not ever mention the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, unlike Marine Le Pen who points her out as an enemy of the “real Europe” alongside Emmanuel Macron.

Immediate applause from the League of Matteo Salvini, who immediately asks that “the totality of the parties alternative to the left, also in Italy, confirm their unavailability to unnatural alliances with the socialists or with the warmonger Macron”. A scenario that is very much disliked by Forza Italia and the moderates. The pivot in Brussels, it is reasoned, remains the EPP (which will probably once again be the largest group) and agreements cannot be made with those “hostile to Europe” like Le Pen. Meanwhile, there are signs of rapprochement between the leader of the Rassemblement National and the premier. “There are points in common”, says Le Pen before speaking in front of the “patriots” gathered at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid (May 19).
