For years, I have defended the necessity of a strong strategic axis between France and Italy, two founding countries of the EU, two sister nations who are also the two great Latin powers of the European Union. This obvious fact has nevertheless been long sacrificed on the altar of hostile postures by Emmanuel Macron and his ministers with Giorgia Meloni’s government since her arrival to power. Yet there can be no true European strategic autonomy without close cooperation between France and Italy. Civil nuclear, defense and nuclear deterrence, industry, space, shipbuilding, aerospace, control of migration flows, stability of the Mediterranean, Africa and the Middle East are all areas where our national interests converge. Giorgia Meloni’s willingness to revive the nuclear sector in Italy is a great industrial opportunity for France to position itself as an accomplice and developer of this project. Emmanuel Macron seems to have finally understood, at the twilight of his mandate, that it was counter‑productive to maintain a hostile relationship with Giorgia Meloni. Better late than never. France stands to gain by drawing inspiration from our neighbors’ successes in fiscal, commercial or migration matters. Italy stands to gain by working with France and our civilization stands to gain from a lasting alliance between two great sovereign nations whose cultures and heritage are admired worldwide. A powerful Europe will not be built without the industrial, military and security cooperation of its Latin heart—France and Italy. 📲 Share on X! 👉 Join Identity Freedoms!
