That of Motors on the Rearm Europe A rebus for skilled solutors appears more and more. The sides are, in fact, crossed by very different sensitivity that highlight the distances between the parties, even within the individual coalitions. The vote, also thanks to the visit of the Royal England tomorrow to the Chamber, slips to the next week, but the positions are now defined, also by virtue of the square found inside the center -right on a unitary text. The oppositions, however, have decided for days to march uniforms, each presenting their motion. They range from the request to accelerate the rearmament plan formulated by action, the proposal to cancel Rearm and its replacement with investments in health, work, support for companies and education of the Five Stars. In the midst remains the Democratic Party struggling with the internal clash between the internal majority and the reformist wing.
A clash in which the different positions regarding the alliances are also reflected, especially as regards the privileged dialogue with the Five Stars: smoking in the eyes of the dem reformists. To exacerbate the spirits in the last few hours, it has intervened The event promoted in Rome by the Five Stars And who saw the participation of tens of thousands of people (one hundred thousand for the organizers). The paragraphs of Avs, Fratoianni and Bonelli, a delegation of the Democratic Party, but not the secretary, were present at the procession. And Conte had a good game, from the stage and between the crowd, to claim for the M5S the function of ‘pivot’ of the alternative to the center -right government, rekindling the debate in the Democratic Party.
For Andrea Orlando, a leading exponent of the majority who supports Elly Schlein, “going on Saturday in the square organized by the M5S was a sign of attention. That square also speaks to our world, there were faces and stories that we have seen many times in our events. By now I see An persistent boycott of the so -called wide field also from pieces of the Democratic Party. Then let’s discuss. In 2022 we saw the break with the 5 stars how it ended up. “A message sent to the dem reformists who, with Pina Picierno, hardly condemned the order words of the event.” Telling a stepmother Europe blowing on the fire of the war, of a Europe that hurries, which is preparing to finance 27 national armies, ignore the massacres of Putin in Ukraine means to use the populism once again ” Picierno says.
It is not surprising that the motion of the PD walk on that thread which is the agreement found in the dem groups on March 18. “The government is committed to placing Italy as a protagonist in the construction of a true common European defense and not a rearmament of national armies without coordination”, reads the text of the motion. In addition to this, the DEMs commit the government “to promote A radical revision of the rearmament plan proposed by President Von der Leyen“
In the motion, then, “the firm opposition to use, even if optional, of European cohesion funds for the financing and increase in military expenses” is reiterated. Clear The opposition of the Green and Left Alliance which, in their motion, commit the government “to stop support for the European rearmament plan” and to commit themselves “so that the European Union in place is an urgent political and diplomatic initiative with the involvement of the UN for a truce in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, aimed at achieving a stable and lasting peace”. And again: “To work in the European Council so as not to allow any derogations aimed at the use of cohesion funds to finance the purchase or production of armaments”.
The M5S document of the same tenor: “Do not continue in supporting the European REARM Europe/READINESS 2030 rearm plan“And to replace it with a plan of relaunching investments on” healthcare expenditure, support for productive and industrial supply chains, employment incentives, education, green investments and European public goods, to make the economy of the union more equitable, competitive, safe and sustainable “. At the antipodes the resolution of several Europe that engages the executive to support the Rearm” activating in the appropriate locations to be oriented to the resources. Immediately to the realization of a common European defense, to be carried out by defining its institutional architecture as soon as possible, in particular according to common foreign policy tools that first exceed the veto power of the individual member countries “.
At the forefront of support for the European rearmament plan, it is also an action that He commits the government to “raise the expenses for the defense of Italy by 2025 to 2% of GDP” It is “participating actively, based on the Rearm Europe plan and the European Defgence – Readin 2030” program, the “construction of a European defense system and progressive political, industrial and military integration between Member States, favoring the restoration of an increasingly close relationship with the United Kingdom, in order to combat the impending threats to the freedom and security of Europe”.
Long and The proposal of Italy Viva is articulated: actively promote the implementation of the Rearm Europe; encourage the development of common military platforms; overcome the right of veto on foreign policy in the EU; aim for the United States of Europe; Create European samples in strategic sectors, in line with the indications of the Draghi relationship “.
White smoke in the center -right on the unitary motion
On the morning of Tuesday, he had agitated the waters of the majority the announcement of Una Motion only Northern League against Rearm UE and for a renegotiation of the Green Deal. The party of via Bellerio specified that the text will be presented in the vote in all municipal councils and the European Parliament, while in Rome it would have represented a starting point for reflection with the allies to get to a common synthesis of common sense and constructive criticism of European bureaucracy. In the text, the party led by Matteo Salvini committed the government to “represent its firm opposition in every appropriate location for the implementation of the Rearm Europe plan” asking that the resources provided are instead directed towards other priorities of public interest.
In doing this, the League expressed “firm opposition”, in addition to proposing the start of a negotiation with the European institutions “aimed at redefining the obligations and limitations imposed by the Green Deal”. In the afternoon, The center -right parties found the square On a text that does not quote the ‘Readin 2030’ plan, on which the sensitivity in the majority remain different and could emerge again when in Europe it will tighten on the plane. In the motion the government is committed to continuing, in compliance with the addresses of Parliament, to support Ukraine for the whole time necessary, without prejudice to the hope of a rapid conclusion of the peace negotiations “and” to operate, in every international location and with every diplomatic tool, so that you can reach the shortest possible time to a ceased and the fire and a lasting peace on the Ukrainian territory “.
A comparison on several points
At first, according to parliamentary sources report, in the text we referred to a generic possibility of an Italian participation in a contingent of peace. The synthesis was found adding the condition that this occurs under the UN aegida. In the document, it is also underlined that Italy’s participation in international alliances, “with particular reference to the Atlantic alliance, constitutes a pillar of foreign and national security policy, and commits our country to compliance with the deriving obligations, also in terms of investments and ability development”.
And it is explained that on the basis of the agreements taken by NATO “at least 2 percent of defense costs compared to GDP; 20 percent of the fee of the defense budget to be allocated to investments; a contribution to missions, operations and other activities”. Finally, it should be noted that at the top scheduled in June at the Hague “a new proposal on the percentage of defense expenditure will presumably be presented by the Secretary General, which should exceed the current minimum threshold of 2 percent of GDP”.
