The launch of Silvia Romano creates a new rift between Italy and the European Union. The EU’s high representative for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, was very clear when, in a video conference from Brussels, he explained that the alleged payment of the ransom by the Italian authorities for the 25-year-old Milanese is a big problem for Europe all .
Europe attacks Italy
The ”trouble” raised by Brussels, does not refer to the girl’s return home after 18 months of kidnapping, but the possible million dollar sum paid to her kidnappers. The reason is simple: those money, as explained in Republic by Ali Dehere, spokesperson for Al Shabaab, the terrorist group that detained Silvia in the heart of Africa, will be used to buy weapons. It goes without saying that terrorists will employ to do other evils.
The echo of the interview was clearly to the upper floors of the EU. Borrell splashed the chair and manifested evident discontent:the redemption paid out? It certainly must be a problem, but frankly, we don’t have any more information to give you. Sorry” The words are few but the message is clear: Europe did not like the theater created by Giuseppe Conte, given and considering that behind the girl’s return there could be a large sum paid to one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world.
‘‘The ransom money paid by Italy – the terrorist spokesman for Al shabaab – They will serve in part to buy weapons, which we increasingly need to fight jihad. The rest will be used to run the country: to pay for schools, buy food and medicine that we distribute to our people, train police officers who maintain order and enforce the laws of the Koran.“
Di Maio: “There are no bailouts”
Here: this is precisely the statement that set off alarms in EU buildings. It does not matter if Luigi Di Maio He tried to put out the fire saying there were no rescues. Damage to the image, or rather media assistance to terrorists, is done.
”There are no bailouts for me, otherwise I should say so” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the transmission “Fuori dal Coro” Network 4. Regarding Dehere’s interview, Di Maio was even more explicit:It is legitimate to ask questions, but the first question I ask myself is why if a terrorist who is interviewed and says something, his word is worth more than the Italian state? ” Soon after, the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, reiterated the line of his colleague: ‘“I have no news of payments”
Will it be enough to convince Brussels of the good work of Italy? Probably not, given that Borrell is unlikely to be satisfied with a couple of circumstantial phrases spoken live on television. To shed light on the alleged rescue, which should be among the 1.5 and me 4 million euros – More research needs to be done.
