Meroni said the division of leadership posts between the centre-right European People’s Party, the social democratic Social Democrats and the liberal Renewal Party parliamentary group ignored the rightward shift that took place in European elections.

They talk about speeches and other things Politico and protector.

Von der Leyen’s sequel

Meloni, leader of the far-right Fratelli d’Italia party, said the nomination proposal reflected the view that “citizens are not mature enough to make certain decisions.”

According to media reports, EU leaders have reached a preliminary agreement on the appointment of alliance leaders, but Italy, the third largest member state, has been completely ignored in the negotiations.

The issue was discussed at an informal meeting of the European Council last Monday. The two sides failed to reach an agreement due to the dispute between the EPP and S&D over the allocation of the European Council presidency.

According to current news, EPP has been nominated as the next President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyenia and former Portuguese Prime Minister S&D Antonio Costa.

Merloni: The EU is a bureaucratic behemoth

Merloni’s demise was sealed by a promise that Italy would take on the vice-presidential role of the commission responsible for the economy if Italy backs an extension for von der Leyen, who needs the backing of EU national leaders and a majority in parliament.

In any case, excluding Italy from the nomination package negotiations is a heavy blow to Meroni, one of the few EU heads of state to have won the European elections. Meroni’s ECR parliamentary group also became the third largest after the liberal Renew party, and the prime minister said this should be reflected in the decision-making.

However, Meloni’s board has yet to put forward clear candidates for any management positions.

Merloni has been pointing out that his governing coalition won nearly 53% of the European election vote in Italy, while Macron’s coalition in France won 16% and Germany’s ruling party won 32%.

“Policymakers don’t like today’s third bloc,” said Meroni, who called the EU a bureaucratic behemoth whose choices were driven by ideology.

According to diplomatic sources at Politico, confirmation without Melloni is possible. According to sources at the Guardian, Melloni may have agreed with the Czech prime minister. Peter Fialan Therefore, if both countries receive important appointments from the new commission, they will support the appointment plan at the summit.

Fiala and Meloni were the only ECR leaders at the summit.
