EU-Politik: Strategie der „Brandmauer“ funktioniert nicht, so Meloni
Italiens Regierungschefin Meloni hielt sich mit einer Reaktion auf den Erfolg der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt zurück. Die Strategie der Abgrenzung zu bestimmten Parteien funktioniere nicht, sagt sie nun.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni claims that the so-called "firebreak" strategy against right-wing parties and movements is not successful. Responding to the recent electoral victory of the AfD in the Saxon-Anhalt state election, Meloni stated that this strategy is ineffective, as evident from the AfD's success. She argued that political movements in Europe have gained strength, focusing on defending identity, combating illegal mass migration, and addressing the threat of Islamicization in Europe.
The reaction from the "establishment" often involves building firebreaks rather than addressing substantive issues, according to Meloni. This strategy evidently does not work, she stated, adding that instead, it is necessary to listen to these concerns and respond accordingly. Meloni has been leading her coalition of three right-wing and conservative parties for nearly four years.
She has so far refrained from reacting to the AfD's electoral success in Saxon-Anhalt. In the past, Meloni, the head of the Fratelli d Italia (Brothers Italians) party, has distanced herself from the AfD and its political views on multiple occasions.
