The Rome Conference on migrants it wasn't a bad idea Giorgia Meloni but his execution was self-defeating and the failure to invite the France by Emmanuel Macron and Germany by Olaf Scholz a childish spite that can cost Italy dearly, given the dossiers that are on the table of the European Union and which invest our country. Italian diplomacy is scrambling to look for a plausible justification by claiming that at the Conference on Migrants "we involved the countries of the With of first landing and not of first destination". The truth is that whenever Italy's relations with France and Meloni-like Germany are at stake, Pavlovian reflections are triggered which distance it from the founding countries of theEuropean Union to bring it closer to the Polish and Hungarian populists, who are the last to be able to lend us a hand to welcome migrants.
There are those who say that the Italian premier has behaved this way because her real goal is to become the leader of reference for the Arab countries, overtaking France which has historical influence on the tunisia. And there are those who instead imagine skirmishes in view of the European elections. Be that as it may, Meloni's move to exclude France and Germany from the Rome conference is utter nonsense, as was her blatant support for right-wing extremists in Vox, left shattered by the Spanish elections.
A little over a month ago, after the meeting with President Macron at the Elysée, Meloni declared: "Foreign policy is not like playing mischief in the backyard". Precisely. She georges down from the tower.
