(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 19 - European Affairs Minister Raffaele
Fitto on Friday said he saw no risk regarding Italy's role in
the European Commission after MEPs for Italian Premier Giorgia
Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party voted against
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen getting a
second term at the help of the EU executive.
"I never saw the risk of determining a different approach on
Italy's role in the Commission in relation to Parliament's
political vote", Fitto said, speaking at an assembly of farmers'
association Coldiretti.
"Italy is a founding country that inevitably has an important
role and will inevitably continue to have it within the
European Commission in relation to the choices that will then be
made". (ANSA).
