Ukraine decree, green light from the House. Vannaccians vote no to the measure, yes to confidence
The test for the political forces supporting the Meloni government comes on the same day that the European Parliament gave the green light to the 90 billion loan to Ukraine
Key points
Green light from the Chamber of Deputies for the Ukraine decree. The measure, which now passes to the Senate, was approved with 229 votes in favour and 40 against. Voting No, as announced, were also the three 'Vanaccian' deputies. The House had previously voted on the government's confidence in the decree with 207 yes, 119 no and 4 abstentions. As announced, the vannaccians voted in favour. A solution that from a political point of view highlights a opposition, on the contents of the measure, and in particular on sending new aid to Kiev, but that at the same time sends a message of support to the majority.
The test for political forces supporting the Meloni government comes on the same day that the European Parliament gave the green light to the 90 billion loan to Ukraine. The so-called 'support loan to Ukraine' will help cover the country's financing needs.
Vannacci: 'We on the right, we know where to stand'
"We will vote in favour of the confidence because this vote is not on the merits of the measure on which we remain opposed, but serves to delimit a functional political perimeter to allow the parties to choose where to place themselves, and a party of the Right like Futuro Nazionale knows where to stand. In fact, I have always said that we are not a tool of the Left that wants to destabilise the nation, contrary to what is claimed by some, and we prove it in deeds. We will stand by our agendas that contain a commitment to cut off arms supplies to Zelensky's army and we will also vote against in the final vote. We do not lend ourselves to the games of those who would like to label us as being together with the Bonelli, Fratoianni, Renzi, Conte and Schlein of the day, but, at the same time, we do not renounce our identity," explained Roberto Vannacci in a note
Majority votes compact
The majority votes compactly, including the League, on the trust placed by the government on the Ukraine dl. And the three 'vannacciani', registered in the mixed group to join Futuro nazionale (Rossano Sasso, Edoardo Ziello and Emanuele Pozzolo) confirmed with their yes vote what Roberto Vannacci had announced.
League holds in vote on Ukraine dl but 8 do not participate
The League 'held' in the final vote on the Ukraine decree. According to the tabulations, net of the absentees justified by mission (11, including some undersecretaries and Minister Giorgetti) eight did not take part in the vote: Antonio Angelucci, Umberto Bossi, Francesco Bruzzone, Dimitri Coin, Andrea De Bertoldi, Andrea Giaccone, Umberto Erik Pretto and Valeria Sudano. Francesco Gallo, who had abstained on the Vannacciani's motion, also did not take part in the vote. Also voting yes for the League, among others, was MP Domenico Furgiuele.
