Meloni criticized behind-the-scenes deals in top EU positions

The coalition’s decision about the EU’s top positions is “surreal” and “backroom”. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced this on Wednesday, June 26, writes Politico.

In particular, he said that the views of European voters were not taken into account when it came to the distribution of portfolios in the governing bodies of the European Union.

“There are those who have argued that citizens are not intelligent enough to make certain decisions and that oligarchy is the only acceptable form of democracy, but I disagree,” Maloney told the Italian parliament.

In particular, he recalled that six EU leaders from centrist parties announced that Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa and Kaja Callas will receive the highest posts in the European Commission, the European Council and the foreign policy service , respectively.

At the same time, he noted that the European Parliament has moved to the right, and his group is now the third largest in the 720-seat European Parliament.

At the European Commission, Meloni intends to accept the main economic portfolio for Rome, as well as the position of executive vice president or vice president of the ECR.

Meloni is not only the leader of the third largest bloc, but also one of the few European leaders who improved their results in the European elections.
