The EU attacks the yellow-green government. Salvini: “We have the consent of 60% of Italians”. And Conte receives the support of the US ambassador: “The elections in Italy have shown that the people have spoken”
Of Andrea Indini
L’European Union stick hard, the United States responds by shielding itself. While the Conte government is grappling with a difficult economic maneuver, that raising the bar of deficit/GDP ratio al 2,4% destabilizes relations with Brussels, unexpected support arrives from overseas.
By participating in a forum organized by’Ansa, the American ambassador in Rome Lewis Eisenberg he made a statement as banal as it is unpopular nowadays. “Regardless of how any of us think – he chanted – the latest elections in Italy have shown that the people have spoken. This is democracy”. An obvious thing that, but, certain European commissioners don't always keep this in mind.
By Jean-Claude Juncker, Pierre Moscovici and Valdis Dombrovskis, Matteo Salvini has now become the “black beast” to bomb against on a daily basis. Everyday, Indeed, the clash escalates with exchanges of accusations, increasingly brutal arrows and blows below the belt. The Northern League leader continues to defend the economic maneuver engaging in melee with those he defines “Eurocrats not voted for by anyone”. “Of what Juncker expects, I honestly don't care much”, says Salvini bluntly, whose interest is in his children “that they can grow in a country with less debt and more work”. The bone of contention, but, it's not just the 2,4% of relationship between deficit e Arrow. Even the Security decree written by the Interior Ministry doesn't seem to please the Brussels leaders too much. So in Moscovici, which yesterday branded the Conte government as “Eurosceptic and xenophobic”, by Juncker, who predicted the same end for Italy as Greece, Salvini recalled that “this government has the approval of 60% of Italians”. And to those who pointed out the clash on the Rome-Brussels axis risks becoming increasingly dangerous, invited us to ask the same question “to those who live in Brussels and spend their days insulting this government“.
Against the yellow-green government, but, it's not just broadsides that come. Yesterday, during the forum organized by the agency Ansa, he first Giuseppe Conte it has in fact received the support of the American administration. “The current government in Italy is the quintessence of democracy in action”, stated Ambassador Eisenberg, revealing that at the meeting in Washington between the president Donald Trump and Conte emerged “an evident chemistry and mutual understanding”. “The United States and Italy have in common a commitment to democracy”, the US diplomat said remarking “the strong bilateral relations between the two countries”. That there was chemistry between the two heads of state was evident recently during a working lunch organized by the United Nations in New York. The two stopped to talk for a long time about the situation Libya and on the immigration emergency in the Mediterranean Sea. “Yes Trump – Conte then revealed – there is maximum attention to what is happening (in Europa, ndr)”. It is no coincidence that his former strategist, Steve Bannon, has set up tents in the Old Continent to weave the canvas of the populist parties that will run for European elections of the 2019.
