Premier Giorgia Meloni told the Senate on Tuesday that the ReArm Europe plan had a misleading name for citizens because it was aimed at boosting defence capabilities which did not only mean buying weapons.
"I believe that ReArm Europe is a misleading name for citizens because we are called to strengthen our defence capabilities but today this doesn't mean trivially buying armaments" but, "if anything, producing them" and "with respect to simply boosting arsenals" also "operability, essential services, energy infrastructures, provision chains: all things that are not simply done with weapons".
"There is no defence without this approach", Meloni said in her official communications to the Senate in view of this week's European Council.
