Feijóo trusts that Italy "does not abandon the commitment" with the EU and Meloni "rectify" some initial positions

He regrets the result of the Italian partners of the PPE but stresses that in Spain there is the PP, which is "guarantee of centrality" and "Europeanism"

PALMA, 27 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the national PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, expressed his confidence on Tuesday that Italy "does not abandon the commitment to the euro and the European Union", after the electoral result that outlines the leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, Giorgia Meloni, as Prime Minister. After assuring that it is necessary to "see what the new government does", he has admitted that he hopes that initial approaches "in favor of Europeanism and a cohesive Europe" will be "rectified".

In an act in the Pere Garau market in Palma, Feijóo has expressed his "respect" for the result of the elections in Italy this Sunday, given that the Italians "have freely voted what they have considered appropriate."

In any case, he has acknowledged that the partners of the European People's Party in Italy "have not had a good result" and "would prefer" that it had been better. He has also pointed out that the socialists have also obtained "a bad result".

"We will have to respect and see what the newly elected Government of Italy does. Everything that is to rectify the initial approaches in favor of Europeanism and a cohesive Europe, would be a good rectification", declared the 'popular' president.

Asked if he is worried about the rise of the extreme right in Europe, Feijóo has insisted that he entered politics and assumed the presidency of the PP because he is "convinced that it is necessary to have a focused party."

"In Spain there is a party that is a guarantee of centrality, respect for the autonomous state, the Constitution and Europeanism, that is the PP that I defend and represent," he replied, insisting that Spain has a "great asset" by having "a center-right party, very broad and well established in the towns and cities".

Meloni's party won 26 percent of the vote in Sunday's elections and, at the head of a right-wing coalition, also aspires to lead the next Italian government, for which there must still be a round of contacts between the president and the different groups with parliamentary representation.
