Adnkronos Rome, March 18 (Adnkronos) – “To write the Pd resolution we worked on three fundamental axes. We started from the choices, even the missed ones, of the majority. Because well, never forget it, the foreign and defense policy of a country is not made by the opposition but by the government majority. The opposition monitors, controls, counter-proposes but does not decide the foreign policy of a government.
To keep Lega, Fdi and FI together they have decided not to address the relevant issues. In order not to divide themselves they remain still. As has been happening for more than two years now. And this happens because the majority is divided on foreign policy and on Europe, as demonstrated by the vote in Strasbourg because on the issue they think in three different ways". Thus the president of the senators of the PD Francesco Boccia opening the joint assembly of the parliamentary groups of the PD.
"We then worked on the commitments for the construction of a Europe as a political entity, a federal Europe. And the common defense policy is a pillar of this commitment, as are the political battles on the common debt and on the common foreign policy itself. This is also why in our text we reiterated our radical criticism of the Rearm EU.
"Then we reiterated, as we have always done in previous parliamentary passages, our position in support of Ukraine, while even on this the government is divided. We reiterated that what is happening in Gaza is terrifying, very serious and unacceptable on a political level for all of Europe and an immediate reaction is needed to impose a ceasefire. On the economic side, the focus of our resolution concerns the issue of competitiveness, of the common budget for which we ask for a doubling, of resources, of US duties to which we respond in a unified manner in Europe by evaluating the intervention also on US services as well as on intellectual property and big tech, all issues on which there is a lot of opacity and silence on the part of the government".
