Meloni and Frederiksen tabled a joint amendment at the European Council that criticised the mass regularisation programme carried out by Pedro Sánchez’s government. In addition to the Spanish Prime Minister, Emmanuel Macron and other leaders also opposed it. No agreement reached; the text was rejected.

A one-sided look at the ‘Mamdani model’, at the activist and anti-capitalist left-wing movements that demonise Israel. The common-sense policies of the European left are ignored or rejected because they are ‘right-wing’. Is this to be the agenda of the broad coalition? 

The PD MEP has criticised the Danish socialist prime minister, who is forming an alliance with the Italian prime minister: “They’re not proposing anything concrete. We need agreements with countries of origin and integration – not just hubs abroad.”

Following Edi Rama, another figure from the European left – the Danish Prime Minister – has aligned herself with the Italian position. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party remains silent because it has chosen to defend Sánchez, but that very model is now backfiring on it
