Giorgia Meloni’s move to oppose a new term for European Commission chief Ursala von der Leyen won’t isolate Italy or keep the country out of decision-making in the future, the prime minister told daily Corriere della Sera.
The European Parliament voted Thursday in a secret ballot to approve von der Leyen’s renomination, which she won easily. Lawmakers in Brussels allied with the Italian premier voted against the reappointment, highlighting tensions between Meloni and European institutions.
