"The EU naval mission in the Red Sea" is predominantly defense policy. 15% of world trade passes through there, preventing the passage of products means a disproportionate increase in prices, we cannot accept the threat of the Houthis in the Red Sea.
Italy has always supported the defense of freedom of navigation, we do so within our regulations.
For this European defense mission we do not have to go through Parliament, but the US initiative would have meant a parliamentary passage.
Italy is there, it takes responsibility". Thus Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in the Fourth Republic.
“My idea of foreign policy is having the ability to talk to everyone, those you agree with on most things, but also those you may disagree with.”
This was said by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, guest of the episode of Quarta Repubblica, broadcast this evening on Rete4, talking about her international meetings, most recently
the one on Saturday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
. Was she ready, Nicola Porro asked her, quoting Meloni's electoral slogan, also to deal with Erdogan?
"I was ready to make Italy count more
, I was ready to design a foreign policy for this nation based on respect for its interlocutors, on people who do not look down on you but - she added - have the courage to to say things as they are, that whoever makes a commitment keeps it, that he doesn't take a different position when he speaks privately with someone and when he speaks with the press".

With Emmanuel Macron "I think we could have done a little more together".
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this, responding to Nicola Porro who asked her if the French president is among those who gave Italy a hand on the new Stability Pact.
"The Stability Pact is not my ideal compromise but it was the best possible compromise
- added Meloni -. The alternative was to return to the old parameters, which were decidedly worse. There are countries in Europe that prefer the previous parameters because they are more rigid".
European elections: 'I'll decide at the last minute whether to run'
"Let's see, let's see."
This is how Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, guest of Quarta Repubblica, responded to her candidacy for the European elections.
"I get by like this because I haven't decided, I think I'll decide at the last minute, when the lists are formed - he replied to Nicola Porro -. Imagine if I don't consider it important to measure myself against the consensus of the citizens. It's the only element that counts for me. The citizens who were to vote for a Meloni who is a candidate in Europe know that she doesn't go there, this does not mean that if they want to confirm or confirm a consensus, that too is democracy. For me it could be important to check if I still have that consensus ".
'Privatizations?
20 billion can be made in three years
"We foresee in the economic budget document 20 billion in 3 years" from privatizations, "a job that can be done with seriousness as I imagine it: we can sell some shares of public companies without compromising public control, and on some companies entirely owned State property, we can sell minority shares to private individuals. Like Railways? Yes too, it's one of the dossiers on the table. The State always maintains control when control is fundamental."
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this, guest on the episode of Quarta Repubblica, broadcast this evening on Rete4.
