During his intervention at a conference held in Padua, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozeto stated that “NATO no longer has a reason for existence.” “Once, the center of the world was the Atlantic Ocean, now the whole world is,” he added.

According to the Italian minister, at the same time, “once Europe and the United States have been the central point of reference, and now there are all others with whom a relationship must be created.”

At the same time, Crozetto underlined thatI would have to undergo a deep change, To launch a dialogue with the south of the planet in order to guarantee peace and mutual defense. “Otherwise, we will not be able to secure security, with rules that apply to everyone,” he added.

“We often speak as if we are still living at a time that has passed three decades ago. In fact, however, everything has changed. Some are talking about Europe as if something is counting. Once, perhaps, he could count if he had a political role he did not acquire. If he acquired an external policy and defense. Her era, however, has come, and I say it with regret. The world has changed. The UN, in the rest of the world, counts as much as Europe. Nothing, that is, less than a national team, less than India and Israel, “said the Minister of Defense of the Melonian government.

Guido Crozeto, finally, said that so far the United States has not requested to use their bases in Italy for businesses associated with developments in the Middle East.
