"I say to the Italian government which celebrates the great attention it gets" on migration "in this forum that that is not the right path, because it is asking the wrong questions of the EU".
This was stated by the secretary of the Pd, Elly Schlein, on the sidelines of the pre-summit of the European Socialists in Brussels.
The government, Schelin underlined, should "instead ask for a greater sharing of responsibilities on reception, overcoming the Dublin regulation and obtaining a European search and rescue mission at sea because unfortunately where the Coast Guard patrol boats and NGOs do not arrive, we see more tragedies".
The trip to Brussels represents Schlein's debut as secretary of the Democratic Party in Europe.
Among the meetings on the agenda are those with the German chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Spanish prime minister for Sanchez and the Finnish premier Sanna Marin, as well as the EU commissioner for the economy, Paolo Gentiloni.
On the table are the topics on the agenda of the EU summit, including the node on the stop to internal combustion engines from 2035, which the Socialists will also discuss in the presence of the executive vice president of the European Commission Frans Timmermans.
