The Italian Prime Minister mentioned immigration Georgia Meloniduring an interview on public radio and television Rai.

“The issue of relocations is of secondary importance, in recent months they have been minimal. The problem is to stop the arrival of migrants in Italy, but I still don’t see concrete answers arriving,” Meloni stressed. He confirmed that “some time ago Italy informed its partners that it cannot automatically take back those who sought asylum in other countries and initially entered the Europe from Italy». “Our hotspots are full and Europe must help us protect our borders,” the head of the Italian government said.

Referring to organized crime, she emphasized that she “will not allow herself to be intimidated” and that “the government and the Italian state will respond to every aggressive act of organized crime.”

Regarding her relationship with the Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Paolo Gentiloni, the Italian Prime Minister stated that she has the impression that “in the last year she gave many interviews, in which she criticized her government work”. “It seemed to me that the approach was based more on criticism than cooperation, but that doesn’t mean I want to fight with Gentiloni,” he added.

Finally, commenting on today’s speech by its president European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during which the president of the Commission underlined that he asked Mario Draghi to prepare a report on competitiveness in Europe, Giorgia Meloni underlined: “this is one of the Italians with the most prestige in the world. I believe that he can show special sensitivity for our country, it is definitely good news”.
