(ANSA) – ROME, JULY 18 – “I have no reason to believe that our choice could in any way compromise the role that will be recognized for Italy in the commission, we are a founding country, the second manufacturing, the third economy, with one of the most solid governments and it is on the basis of this and only this that the Italian weight is defined”. Thus the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni in a video commenting on the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen not supported by the vote of Brothers of Italy. “Brothers of Italy has decided not to vote” for the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen: “We have remained consistent with the position expressed in the European Council of not sharing the method and the merit”, she adds. “This obviously – underlines the Prime Minister – will not compromise the collaboration that the Italian government and the European Commission have already shown they can carry forward on many issues such as migration and I would like to take this opportunity to wish Ursula von der Leyen good luck in her work”.
