Excerpt from the article:
Close friendship
Much has been written about Melon's growing friendship with Sunak in recent months. After all, as the British Prime Minister declared from the podium of "Atregio", they took office almost simultaneously, in October 2022, and Meloni is one of the few "centre-right leaders" in Europe - although many will call them both. hard right.
They also share the same tough approach to immigration, with Sunak's (renewed) plan to send asylum seekers arriving in Britain by crossing boats to Rwanda only recently passed a second reading by the British House of Commons, while Meloni agreed in early November with Edi Rama to create two closed centers in Northern Albania for migrants rescued in the Mediterranean by Italian boats.
In "Atregiou", Meloni and Sunak exchanged kisses and hugs and praises. Sunak even called on other European leaders to be inspired, like them, by "radicalism" of Margaret Thatcher to tackle irregular immigration, warning that otherwise the latter would "suffocate our countries" - after which he was accused by the opposition in Britain of adopting the toxic rhetoric of his sacked home secretary, Suella Braverman.
The Albanian Prime Minister
"I am a socialist, but also an old friend of Italy and I feel very close to Georgia Meloni", said the Albanian Prime Minister before leaving for Rome. From the scene of "Atregio" he defended the agreement with Italy on Migration, describing the noise surrounding it as "disproportionate" and ensuring that "this agreement does not contain any unconstitutional elements" - The Constitutional Court of Albania froze its ratification for a few days. previously by the Parliament of Albania to consider two complaints of the opposition.
"It is an honor for us to lend a helping hand when Italy asks us for it. We must do everything to be a sister country with Italy", said Rama. In their meetings, the prime ministers of Italy, Britain and Albania agreed on "further coordination of their cooperation in the fight against traffickers".
The head of the Italian Democratic Party, Elie Sline, and the deputy of the Alliance of the Left and Greens, Angelo Bonelli, were also invited to participate in this year's "Atregio". They both refused, largely because of the involvement of Spanish far-right leader Santiago Abascal, who caused a stir recently when he told Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez that "the time will come when the world will wants to hang it upside down. down, from the feet". According to the Spanish newspaper "El Pais", even officials of the "Brothers of Italy" were shocked, demanding that the invitation be withdrawn.
Meloni, however, especially appreciates Abascali, since after his five-minute speech in "Atregiou" yesterday, she even called him back on stage for a second round of applause "for a man we work with and will continue to work with for him. a better and different Europe".
