Ukraine decree, the Center-Left attacks on trust

The trust posted on Ukrainian decree has the objective of hiding the distances within the majority and to raise a blanket of smoke over the three vannaccians who made it known that they were against the measure. It’s a choir that comes from oppositionsyes Italia Viva al M5spassing from Pd e Avs.

For Federico Fornaro, deputy of the Democratic Party, Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine “is a topic that should not have lent itself to political games” and, indeed, “a real discussion was needed” by Parliament. “Instead the fear of some amendmentthe fear of seeing a majority that could have given in or had dissenting votes” pushes the government to resort to confidence, adds the dem.

Riccardo Ricciardi, M5s group leader in the Chamber also speaks of “fear”: “We have a government that is afraid and does not want to face one of its greatest failures, the bet on winning the war, we will see if we will have another centre-right group or if they will just puff out their chests and then run away or if they will go into opposition”. For Angelo Bonelli of Avs “something significant happened today, the explosion of the majority. A piece of the majority attacking his own party, an internal power struggle.”

This is why the red-green representative invites the president Melons “to clarify the new perimeter of the majority in the Chamber”. Those who see the government’s ‘move’ as “one door open to Vannaccians in the majority” is Riccardo Magi, secretary of Più Europa. “In this way, in fact, the government offers the parliamentarians of Futuro Nazionale the possibility of voting against the Ukraine decree, but in favor of trust in Meloni”, explains Magi. Carlo Calenda asks Renzi and Schlein how they plan “to create a majority with Avs and M5s” if these parties “vote the same amendments as Vannacci’s party. It’s implausible.”

The cracks in the center-left and the position of the Democratic Party

It’s the finger in the wound of a centre-left that, beyond the vote of confidencecontinues to move in random order over Ukraine. The turmoil within the centre-right, in fact, does not completely cover the cracks that run through the progressive front on the topic of Ukraine. To put them down in black and white, on the other hand, came the agendas presented not only by the three deputies of Futuro Nazionale, but also by M5s and Action. The Democratic Partyon the contrary, does not present any of its own and will vote against confidence in the government, but in favor of the provision, “in coherence with what has been done in other passages”, specifies a Dem source. The only agenda that came from the Democratic Party is from Paolo Ciania member of parliament who in the past voted (or abstained) differently from the group on the Ukraine issue. In the text he presented, the government undertakes “to accompany the military support with a decisive strengthening of thediplomatic initiative of Italy, also at a European and international level, aimed at cessation of hostilities and when starting credible negotiations for one just and lasting peace; to support and protect the work of non-governmental and humanitarian organizations engaged in Ukraine, promoting its security, access to territories and coordination with international institutions; to work so that every initiative undertaken is consistent with the principles ofarticle 11 of the Constitution and oriented towards conflict reduction and the prevention of any escalation militare“.

Italia Viva e Azione in favor of military aid

In favor of decree confirming military aid to Ukraine Also Italia Viva e Action (but no to trust). Calenda’s party is among those who have presented agendas in view of tomorrow’s passage to the Chamber. In addition to committing the executive to “confirm without any ambiguity, and as long as there is a need” the “transfer to Ukraine of military equipment, materials and means” like “one absolute priority“, the Action agenda calls for “promoting and strengthening forms of collaboration with Ukraine aimed at the development, testing and dissemination of technologies and capabilities in the drone sector and gods systems to combat drones“. Along with this, Action commits the government to “verify that the transfer of military means, materials and equipment” corresponds to the actual needs of protection of the Ukrainian civilian population“.

The M5s’ request for a diplomatic breakthrough

Contraries, as we said, i Five Starswho in the agenda ask the government to “impress a concrete diplomatic turning point” “with an immediate multilateral perspective cessation of war operationsin place of the continuing supply of armament materials to the Ukrainian government authorities”. In light of this, the Five Star Movement also commits the executive to “promote every negotiation initiative useful to a total military de-escalationinvolving to this end the United Nations with a view to a journey of negotiated solution to the conflict to achieve one political, fair, balanced, lasting solution“. And if Pina Picierno accuses Conte’s party, but also Avs, of having “the same positions as Vannacci”, the M5s group leader Riccardo Ricciardi addresses the deputies who look up to the general: “You are three years late, worse than Salvini’s trains: the group of vannaccians wakes up today.”

Avs’ proposals for Ukraine

There are four agendas presented by Avs. The first includes a commitment for the government “to support the Ukrainian civilian population with the sending of logistical and healthcare vehicles, materials and equipment for civil use, also for the protection of civil and energy infrastructures” and at the same time “a stop the sale of military vehicles and materials in favor of the government authorities of Ukraine”. The second: “To adopt the necessary security and tracking measuresalso in the appropriate offices of theEuropean Unionsui flows of armamentsalso strengthening controls over them, to prevent Ukraine from becoming a arms trafficking hub and that the effects of the conflict, even after its hoped-for cessation, continue to claim victims”. Together with these two points, Avs requests that the agreement “signed by the Prime Minister be reviewed Giorgia Meloni all’Aialast 24 and 25 June, which commits the countries adhering to theAtlantic Alliance to invest the 5% of GDP for expenses related to defense and security by 2035″.
