Meloni called on the EU to do more to protect its borders and not allow the Russian Federation or any “criminal organization” to send in flows of illegal migrants.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that the EU should solve security problems comprehensively, taking into account the new challenges associated with the Russian Federation. Reuters reported this on Sunday, December 22.
“We are talking about our democracy, about influencing our public opinion, about what is happening in Africa, about raw materials, about the instrumentalization of migration, we must know that this is a very broad concept of security,” Maloney emphasized in Finnish Lapland , where the leaders met. Italy, Sweden and Greece, as well as the EU Foreign Minister to discuss security in the Nordic region and the Mediterranean, as well as migration issues in Southern Europe.
The head of the Italian government is convinced that the Russian Federation poses a greater threat to the security of the EU than previously thought, because Moscow can use illegal immigration and other problems to blow up the bloc.
Meloni called on the EU to do more to protect its borders and not allow the Russian Federation or any “criminal organization” to send in flows of illegal migrants.
He also added that the EU has been wrong to deal with the immigration issue in recent years only in terms of burden sharing.
“As a result, we have not been able to protect our borders. We want to protect our external borders and will not allow Russia or criminal organizations to undermine our security,” the prime minister said.
While NATO remained the “foundation” of the EU’s security, the bloc had to deal with bigger problems. Security means “critical infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, raw materials, supply chain,” he said.
Let’s remember that the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, drafted a ten-point plan to fight illegal migration before the EU summit.
