Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday expressed her opposition to the future mandate of the European Union government, stressing that the parties involved in the negotiation of the next leaders in relevant EU posts seek to impose a "majority that is fragile and likely to have difficulties during the course of the legislature."
Speaking at the Italian House of Representatives, Meloni said that if the bloc intends to protect its "its credibility, we must show that we have understood the mistakes of the past and have the utmost consideration for the wishes of citizens" who, according to her, are calling for "a more concrete and less ideological Europe."
Meloni's comments follow reports of a deal reached to leave Ursula von der Leyen as president of the European Commission, and to appoint Antonio Costa as president of the European Council and Kaja Kallas as High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
