Il European Council informal of Granada will end with a statement from the Spanish presidency on migration: not at 27for the veto of Poland e Hungary who rejected the part of the text on the EU Pact on Migration, approved by a qualified majority on 4 October without their green light. This is the outcome of the summit just concluded in the Andalusian city. In Granada Georgie Melons she found herself between due fires: on the one hand the need to mend relations with the Germaniaon the other the amazement at the intransigent position of his allies a Budapest e Warsaw. Putting weeks of clashes and tensions behind them, the Italian prime minister and the German chancellor Olaf Scholz they met face to face to smooth over their differences. The agreement on the regulation on migratory crises reached on 4 October has reduced conflicts, thanks to the compromise on the amendment of the discord on ong (wanted by Berlin and opposed by Rome): removed from article 1 and moved to the initial recitals. The distances remain, but in Granada the need to sanction one was stronger truce. Also because to turn on the fuse the Hungarian prime minister actually thought about it, Viktor Orban: Poland e Hungary they were “raped legally” fromUewas his provocation.
Budapest and Warsaw, led by governments allied with Prime Minister Meloni, have not signed the Pact. “If you are legally raped, forced to accept something you don’t like, how do you expect to achieve a compromise? It’s impossible,” Orban said, ruling out any possibility of agreement “not only now but also in the years to come”. The last stage of the informal summit concerned precisely the discussion on the migration theme. The dossier had been included in the Granada Declarationbut Poland and Hungary have placed the veto. However, it is necessary for the approval of the text unanimity. The conclusions being without any legal valuewe therefore opted to confirm the text from the Granada Declaration without the part on migration. That part of the text will instead be one statement from the Spanish presidency. The perception of the Migration Pact between Italy, Poland and Hungary is “different for one issue above all geographical“, said Meloni, commenting on the no votes from Warsaw and Budapest. “We voted for the Pact because the new rules are better than the previous ones but I did not bring this priority, it is the debate of an old perception, our position is different from Poland and Hungary due to a geographical issue. They understand the Italian position, their position I understand it perfectly and it does not prejudice our work”, claimed the prime minister.
The Rome-Berlin face-to-face
The meeting between Meloni and Scholz began around 1.30 pm and ended afterwards 45 minutes. The German Chancellor “is aware that the strategy Italian it’s the only one that can be effective: he told me that we need to continue with this work Tunisia“, said the prime minister at the end of the informal summit. “Everyone tells us that the work with Tunis must be replicated with others Villages of the Nord Africa and more,” he added. Meloni has to deal with bankruptcy in factalthough not definitive, of Memorandum of understanding between the European Union and Tunisia on the management of migration flows. But from Granada he relaunches his strategy and speaking of the revision of the EU budget he explained: “I absolutely agree with giving new resources not to the migratory chapter but to theAfricawe must build one with Africa partnership completely different from the past.” When asked about Germany’s position on this matter, Meloni explained that Olaf Scholz supports the cooperation strategy with North African countries to combat migration.
“With Meloni, very much practicalwe agreed that we do not work against each other, but with each other“, said the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in a press conference at the end of the summit commenting on the bilateral meeting. “As often happens there are very intense conversations, but where he is a lot of understanding pragmatic“, Scholz said again, underlining how with Meloni “we are both very happy that we managed to deliver actual the last fundamental element for the asylum law” in the EU. Regarding the controversy over Germany’s funding for ong who deal with sea rescue in MediterraneanScholz stressed that this is a “decision of Bundestag” and not of his proposal or that of his government.
The two heads of government – according to Palazzo Chigi – they discussed the main European themes at the center of the Council, with particular regard to the migration issue, expressing satisfaction per the agreement reached in Brussels regulation from the crisis. The two leaders met at the Italian-German intergovernmental summit, which will be held in Germany at the end of November. Together Meloni and Scholz had to deal with various issues: the first is the stop ai relocations from Italy, Berlin officially decided because Rome does not respect theDublin Agreement. The real verbal clash, however, took place on the case of German government funding for NGOs that operate on Italian territory and in the Mediterranean. Those funds were decided by the Bundestag almost a year ago, but they still provoked the wrath of Palazzo Chigi. And the fracture widened with the clash in Brussels right on Covenant EU on migrants that Italy had initially blown up. Then Wednesday’s agreement, which today allows Palazzo Chigi to talk about “satisfaction” and “excellent cooperation between Rome and Berlin”.
The German difficulties
Recently Scholz he also announced the strengthening of controls at his borders Germania. The German Chancellor, grappling with the internal criticism for the difficult one economic situation and due to the boom in arrivals (which in absolute numbers was higher in Germany than in Italy), he had to toughen his line on immigration. “Unlike” Chancellor Scholz in Berlin, Meloni “is not facing defeats in the next regional elections and must not suffer shocks in the polls”, underlined this morning the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitungin a signed article Matthias Quarter. The He does it is traditionally a conservative newspaper, therefore critical of this government, but the German polls to date have actually certified a collapse of consensus for the Spd of Scholz and in general for all the forces that make up his majority.
