MBut where did Manfred Weber go? On Tuesday, the press waited in vain for the President of the EPP (the European Christian Democrats) in the press room in Strasbourg. At the last minute, the CSU Bavarian preferred to cancel. Or rather scroll. Reason for the refusal of the obstacle: the words of his ally Silvio Berlusconi with regard to Zelensky and the political flirtation he undertakes with Giorgia Meloni, the object of harsh criticism from his partners in the majority in the European Parliament…
It was he who insisted on inviting, on Friday February 17, Giorgia Meloni to Munich, his stronghold, to the Security Conference. An invitation that completes the normalization of the status of the former fan of Mussolini in the concert of NATO allies. She will find Emmanuel Macron there, a few days after their studies.
