Security, the defendant is not obliged to pay compensation

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has claimed a significant victory regarding European Union policies on migration, asserting that the EU is moving in the direction her government has advocated. This declaration comes after her return from the G7 summit in Ankara, where discussions focused on transatlantic relations and signals of reconciliation from the United States administration. Meloni emphasized that the recent shift in EU policy marks a pivotal moment in addressing migration challenges. Meloni highlighted that the European Union is finally adopting the approach her government has consistently promoted: combating human trafficking and reaffirming the principle that migration should be managed rather than passively accepted. The Italian government views this as a major achievement, indicating that Brussels has embraced the strategy outlined by Italy. According to Meloni, the new measures proposed by the European Commission and High Representative aim to introduce sanctions against criminal organizations managing migrant trafficking, which she sees as confirmation that Europe is aligning with Italy's stance. The prime minister underscored the importance of targeting human traffickers, stating that such actions address the root causes of a phenomenon that exploits human lives. She reiterated that migration must be governed, not tolerated, emphasizing the need for a more concrete, responsible, and citizen-focused approach to immigration. These statements were made shortly after the European Commission announced its new package of measures against human traffickers, organized crime, and other forms of criminal activity. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that in Europe, decisions about who enters the territory and under what conditions must be made by Europeans themselves. The change in tone was also noted by ECR co-president Nicola Procaccini, who remarked that the European Commission is finally speaking the language of Italy. This shift reflects a broader focus on current issues that resonate with citizens, including security concerns beyond just street patrols. Meloni convened a meeting at Palazzo Chigi with Interior Minister Antonio Tajani and former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, along with other ministers, to discuss security matters. Topics included the protection of critical infrastructure, energy security, cybersecurity, data protection, resilience of supply chains, border defense, and emergency response capabilities. Domestically, Meloni received unexpected recognition from Urbano Cairo, editor-in-chief of RCS MediaGroup and owner of La7 television network. In an interview with Il Foglio, Cairo discussed the future of Meloni, suggesting that if she wins upcoming elections, she would have the right to aspire to the presidency. His comments also touched on assessments of former Prime Minister Mario Draghi, whom he described as overrated, and General Roberto Vannacci, who according to Cairo is sensing a shift in Europe. Within the center-right coalition, discussions remain open regarding electoral law, particularly concerning preferences. Salvini explained that the goal remains ensuring that whoever wins can govern for five years. Antonio Tajani confirmed that representatives from various parties are working on the electoral law in Parliament. Salvini took the opportunity to criticize opposition forces, arguing that there is no longer a centrist-left but only an extreme left, and commenting on the image of meetings involving German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The political landscape continues to evolve as Italy navigates both internal and external challenges, with Meloni positioning herself as a leader steering Europe toward a more secure and controlled approach to migration and related issues. The coming months will likely see further developments in both domestic policy and international cooperation, as the Italian government seeks to solidify its influence within the EU framework.
