The Chamber gives the ‘green light’ to the Government of Meloni
The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, has underlined in a speech before the Chamber of Deputies, that she has given the Executive a ‘green light’ in a matter of trust, that she does not question the right to asylum, although she considers it necessary a European directive to control migration.
The president of the House, Lorenzo Fontana, has announced that the Meloni government has received 235 votes in favor –of 400 seats in the lower house– against 154 votes against and five abstentions, according to the newspaper ‘Corriere della It will be’.
After passing through the Italian Chamber of Deputies, the Senate also has to approve the new center-right Executive, led by the far-right Brothers of Italy, in a vote scheduled for this Wednesday.
Meloni has previously indicated in his turn to reply to the lower house, prior to the vote, that it is necessary to regulate migratory flows. “I repeat that they do not want to question the right to asylum, which is sacred to me. We are talking about uncontrolled immigration in recent years,” she said, according to the newspaper ‘La Reppublica’.
Thus, as he has already pointed out this morning in his opening speech before the Italian deputies, Meloni has highlighted “that suicides in prison are a shame”, as well as “the illegal exploitation of migrants in agriculture”.
Thus, the leader of the Brothers of Italy explained that the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, is always appointed within the framework of these migration issues. “But is Berlin’s attitude pro-European?” She has questioned herself.
Finally, Meloni expressed “sincere” thanks to Italian President Sergio Mattarella, as well as former Prime Minister Mario Draghi. “Today we interrupt this great Italian anomaly, giving life to a political government that is fully representative of the popular will,” he said.
After his opening speech, the former Prime Minister of Italy and president of the Fuerza Italia party, Silvio Berlusconi, described his speech as “invaluable”, since it has identified “the country’s priorities”, as well as outlined “a clear route “.
“Force Italy will make a qualified, serious and loyal contribution, with all its ideas and its best energy so that the new center-right government, the first led by a woman, has the strength to face the country’s great problems and design the Italy of the future”, he settled.
The foreign policy of the new Executive has been the subject of debate before it has even started to walk as a result of Berlusconi’s pro-Russian confessions, one of the three legs on which the coalition is based. Antonio Tajani, number two of this formation, acts as Foreign Minister.
As he did after the dissemination of Berlusconi’s statements, Meloni has claimed in his first speech before Parliament that he will be loyal to NATO and also to the EU, regardless of whether he calls for reforms to improve efficiency
