Donald Trump ups the ante against Giorgia Meloni: now he says that Italy does not comply with its NATO commitments

The attacks have taken a leap and Trump now maintains that Italy is not fulfilling its duty as an ally in the Western alliance within NATO, refusing to collaborate with the US in reinforcing military operations by prohibiting the landing of North American planes in Italian military bases. “We have spent trillions of dollars for NATO. Italy’s position is very serious, they have treated us very badly,” he protested.

Prime Minister Meloni he no longer wants to respond to Trump’s personal attacks. Yesterday he responded with a bath of patriotism. He attended the annual meeting of the Army Alpines in Gemona, Friule, a very popular celebration that brings together hundreds of thousands of Italians.

The confrontation fueled by the American president that put the Italian prime minister in trouble, who responded to his attacks and defended “the dignity” of Italy, with full popular support, has put the political world in effervescence.

Trump’s attacks come just as the center of the Italian political scene a retired general, Roberto Vannacci, has been installed, MEP for Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s La Liga party, who broke with Salvini and has just founded the National Future (FN) party.

The “generale” as everyone calls him, has thrown himself into the political arena with everything. He has written a book of which more than 200,000 copies have been sold, in which he defends an extreme right-wing position. Criticizes homosexuals, immigrants, environmentalism and feminism.

In the book he also attacks the law approved unanimously by the Italian Parliament that punishes feminicide with harsh penalties.

Vannacci maintains that there cannot be an exclusive law for the murders of women.

The immediate results given by the polls highlight that the National Future party threatens Salvini’s party with 4.7%which is one of the three allies of the center-right government alliance.

In addition, around ten deputies, the majority from Salvini’s League, have jumped to Vannacci’s party. The general has gone from being a cultural headache to a direct threat to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

in his book “The world upside down”which cost him punishment from the Army that retired him, Vannacci attacks what he calls “the dictatorship of minorities”. He maintains that homosexuals “are not normal.” He presents himself as a victim of censorship by progressive elites, which represents an open attack on center-right opposition forces.

At the recent founding congress of his party, continuous references to “comrades” and other languages ​​reminiscent of the fascist era were heard.

The birth of National Future has led to an intense political battle in northern Veneto, governed by Salvini’s League and the third economy of the Italian regions. Vannacci’s party is garnering thousands of registrations. “We started walking and now we accelerate,” the general commented.

Meloni and Vannacci do not know each other personally and those who wonder what the prime minister will do with him do not take into account that the alliance that has until now been the majority and that next year will have to face national parliamentary elections, would be mortally damaged by a rapprochement.

The center-right government alliance includes the party of Premier Giorgia Meloni, plus its two great allies, the centrist Forza Italia led by Vice-Premier Chancellor Antonio Tajan, and Matteo Salvini’s League.

For now, there is no visible slot through which the “generale” party could enter the government coalition. The political tension evolves boisterously into a long electoral campaign. The center-left forces, which in electoral power are very close to the right, attack General Vannacci’s party and seek to take advantage of the headaches that Futuro Nacional is causing now and will cause for Giorgia Meloni if ​​the complications that the leader of the Italian right will suffer increase.
