The request of Finland join NATO? “You have to be very understanding. Their request must be carefully understood and evaluated: I think it is understandable that they want to feel reassured by joining NATO. The announcement by the High Commissioner for EU Foreign Policy Joseph Borrell on sending another 500 million heavy weapons to Kyiv? “The EU must be at the forefront, but not when it comes to delivering arms.” According to the statements made last night – to which he replied Enrico Letta – Giuseppe Conte returns to present his positions on the conflict in Ukraine. And through meetings with journalists from the foreign press. He uses more relaxed tones Mario Draghieven if it only refers to the Prime Minister’s statements Washington: “They are very close to the positions I have held. I am optimistic which all other political forces and the government can agree on our position of caution“.
About the request of FinlandConte says: “It can have an impact, but I have no desire to offer one Wrong answer in view of such a vital interest expressed by Finland”. The President of the M5, on the other hand, clarifies an issue that has been raised several times in recent days: arms supplies to Ukraine. “The EU must be at the forefront, but not at the side of armaments, which is fundamental, because I do not believe that we have to react to this crisis with a reset, but in terms of values the strengthening of international institutions with a new security strategy. So no to the arms race,” he said.
Then the former prime minister returned to talk about Italy’s arms deliveries to Kyiv: “We are al third decree for sending weapons, but now we are two and a half months away from the conflict, I believe that it is now necessary to mature another one sophisticated strategy, not only from Italy, but also from the EU. It is news these hours that in US Congress They are also considering additional $40 billion in military aid to Ukraine. We know that Great Britain it is very busy with significant military aid,” Conte continues. “I believe that not only Italy, but also the EU at this moment must focus their role and efforts in terms of negotiations and orientation towards a political solution,” continued the former prime minister. “It’s not the race to rearma the goal to which we have to work. A new security strategy is required for the new international geopolitical scenario. We don’t need to invest in the upgrade race,” the leader of the 5 stars continues.
Speaking of the M5, Conte denied any rifts with those who preceded him at the top of the 5 stars, namely Luigi Di Maio: “He is a minister of the M5 and that is why we update ourselves constantly, including yesterday. What a mischievous Italian press writes is not true: he shares this position and we have shared it too in recent weeks. And on the home front, he was always careful to say that “the responsibility of the political line of the M5S it is up to the signer, the president of the movement. The organ of political decision-making is the National Council. Today the M5S address for the publication of a single impromptu can no longer change, there is a political requirement. Grillo is the guarantee of values, guardians of the principles of the movement. But it is clear that Grillo is not involved in the National Council and thus in finding political lines for the M5.
