“I don’t necessarily want to follow the gossip that Draghi wants to become NATO Secretary General, even though it’s the dominant gossip in the Italian press and media,” says Maria Giovanna Maglie of the study L’aria che tira, the political talk show , which will be broadcast in the mornings on La7 and moderated by Francesco Magnani. In the Thursday, April 21 episode, Maglie made this premise to explain the movements of Italy and Prime Minister Mario Draghi on the European chessboard in relation to the conflict in Ukraine, which is occupied by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s troops became.
“There was a compactness of some countries, and certainly Italy went very far – explains the journalist. – We don’t know the reasons because we have a national technical emergency government, the assumed national unity. It’s not like we have a government made up of new elections, politics, parties. We have a government where it’s easy to make decisions, but those decisions aren’t necessarily made by looking at what Italian citizens think.” According to Maglie, Europe’s compactness doesn’t exist because there are countries that always have prioritized their own interests nationally: “It’s always a question of sovereignty, such a mistreated word. The national interest is represented by the often guilty ties in terms of energy resources and not just with Russia and with a Russian president suddenly becoming the butcher became, ”says the journalist.
Pointing the finger at Brussels’ senior officials who are “chosen by four cats” and therefore “talking nonsense”, he strongly supports the proposal launched by Edward Luttwak: a referendum in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions to establish their membership . “Right now, with the kind of commitment we have there, we can’t say Ukraine can win, and maybe we shouldn’t even look at the price it’s costing Ukrainian citizens. The negotiation must be moved to other bases, it must be enforced on the basis of a referendum,” concludes Maglie.
