It is a thank you “that comes from all Italians” that Giorgia Meloni addresses to alluniformed staffengaged inmissions abroadon the occasion of his connection fromCOVI(the Joint Forces Summit Operational Command).

“Peace and Defense are not antithetical concepts”

The Prime Minister is keen to point out thatpeace and defensethey are not antithetical concepts and, among other things, that “only onecredible military forcekeeps war away”, as well as “thediplomacymust rest on solid foundations witharmed forces“. Concepts which, although not accompanied by direct references tointernational crisesthat hold the scene have an evident relevance.

“No conflict between pacifism and armed forces”

In his short speech, Meloni – which he delivers to the Commander of theCOVIa Tricolor flag, “just as we preserve it at Palazzo Chigi” – therefore addresses thegreeting from Italiansto “how many will pass theChristmas far from their familiesto allow us to do it in peace” and reiterates that “I have never accepted the contrast between the idea ofPacifism and the Armed Forces“, together with the fact that “also from the presence and contribution of our military abroad” derives the credibility it claims for the country’s role in the international arena.
