Milan, Dec. 6 (LaPresse) – "The right-wing government in Italy, instead of responding to Trump who talks about the dissolution of Europe, agrees with and supports US policies on weapons, climate, and against the EU, turning Italy into the 51st State of the US and Italians into subjects. The war only serves to feed the arms industry, and the Meloni government has bowed to those interests, sacrificing pensions, healthcare, schools, and transport to buy US missiles and weapons." This is what Angelo Bonelli, Avs parliamentarian and co-spokesperson of Europa Verde, said. "The European response cannot be the EU ReArm plan of 800 billion euros, but a decision that leads to a single European foreign and defense policy, to reduce — not increase — military spending, which in 2024 reached a record figure of 2,738 billion euros in the EU," he adds. "The US reaction to the EU fine to X confirms that American tech platforms are used to influence European democracies. Asking to respect the rules is not censorship but democracy, yet Meloni does not say this, nor does she explain why she has aligned Italy with the interests of fossil fuel lobbies, condemning Italians to pay high bills while fueling the huge billion-dollar profits of oil & gas," Bonelli concludes.
