The Mes arrives in the Chamber on Friday but Giorgia Meloni confirms that, "in the national interest", this is not the time to face a vote on ratification, because the government has chosen "a package approach", which also deals with the new European economic governance, the banking union and the financial safeguard mechanisms.

And so its majority is studying the strategy to arrive, between next Wednesday and Thursday, at the postponement until after the summer . Even if for the Democratic Party "it is time to take responsibility and put an end to the ballet with the EU".

The challenge in Brussels remains open, as the premier clarified in the long day of communications to Parliament on the eve of the European Council. The tones are more severe in the criticism of the ECB for the continuous rise in interest rates.

And on the Pnrr "the deadline for the presentation of the plan is August 31st and it is good" being one of the broadest "that this is done seriously" so "there are no delays" also because "when dealing with the 'national interest we get busy'. «It does not correspond to the truth - he said in another passage - that in Brussels they have not seen a piece of paper. There are many and copious documents produced to the commission for the implementation times of a plan that we had not chosen». "We are producing many papers - he concluded - trying to give continuity to a plan for which we were not responsible".

For the dem secretary Elly Schlein on Mes Meloni "embarrasses Italy", and for the leader of the M5s Giuseppe Conte "the logic of the package will turn into a package".

Meanwhile, the issue may be raised marginally at the European Council after the letter to President Charles Michel in which the no. 1 of the Eurogroup Paschal Donohoe wrote: «The ratification of the ESM Treaty is central to our efforts and we will continue our commitment with Italy on this issue". The ball is now in Parliament.
