The essence of the speech is contained in this passage: “We have done a lot and well, we need to complete it” The voice belongs Ursula von der LeyenThe venue is the meeting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. “Therefore, I will always stand for majority leadership together with the People’s Party, the Socialists and Renewed Europe.” is an implication aftermath of the President’s State of the Union speech, the last representative of the legislature. Those who imagined a different majority, especially in Italy, have succeeded: the EPP is unwilling to change allies.
“Our Union,” he explained Von der Leyen – today reflects the vision of those who dreamed of a better future after World War II. A future in which a Union of nations, democracies and people work together to share peace and prosperity. They believed that Europe was the answer to the call of history.” Because of this “Europe must once again answer the call of history“
Meanwhile, a protagonist from the recent past at the ECB and the Palazzo Chigi will tiptoe back into the European institutions: Mario Draghi. “That’s why I asked him, one of the great European economic minds, prepare a report on the future of European competitiveness. Because Europe will do “everything possible” to maintain its competitive advantage,” the president quotes Draghi as famously saying in June 2012.
The frost in the right majority is total. The only one who intervened in defense of Fratelli d’Italia is the leader of the group in the EP: “President von der Leyen, we have listened to a kind of election manifesto. Some of this is acceptable, some of it is not, some of it is very late.”
Big problem for Georgia Meloniwhich, nine months after the June 9 vote, must rewrite the map of its future political viability from scratch and create a loophole in Brussels to avoid becoming completely irrelevant.
In practice, the Brothers of Italy will have to support the anti-European campaign already launched by Salvini’s treacherous ally, and protect the Prime Minister from it as much as possible.. Essentially, Georgia will again be forced to deal with the majority of Ursula, she will not be able to shoot accurately, as the League leader has already begun to do. This is a pan-Italian conundrum, but it will also have consequences for the conservatives, who will have a president during the election campaign, but a half-servant. Moreover, if the prime minister has to find a vacancy in Brussels, it is unlikely that she will be able to attract the participation of the European family to which she belongs, which is also about to welcome Hungarian President Orbán.
Objectively, the task awaiting the Via Bellerio party is much simpler.. European Parliamentarian Marco Zanni made this clear in the audience: “We did not expect fireworks from von der Leyen’s speech, which sounds like an election manifesto. We have a historic opportunity under the Green Deal. With Timmermans gone we can put the transition on the right track. We need less ideology and more pragmatism, otherwise the only winner will not be the environment, but China.”
After Ursula’s words, Salvini will receive all possible freedom of movement, and a meeting is already on the agenda: the appearance of Marine Le Pen on Sunday in Pontida. The difficulties of the right are emphasized by the Vice-President of the European Parliament, democrat Pina Picerno: “Members of the Northern League must rest their souls, there is no majority without the contribution of European progressives, as it happens, they cannot exist without the contribution of liberals, who represent a constant force.”
The argument is also shared by Renew Europe: “Von der Leyen is finally closing in on the righthis speech effectively re-proposes the Ursula majority, an alliance between the people, socialists and liberals, for the next legislature,” Vice President Nicola Danti resumes, “The Renewal Center will be decisive in making Europe more active and driving innovation and competitiveness forward.”
