In a recent political discourse, Pier Ferdinando Casini, a seasoned Italian politician, emphasized the importance of supporting Raffaele Fitto's nomination to the European Commission.

Casini, a long-time ally of Fitto, urged the Italian opposition, particularly Elly Schlein, to back Fitto, highlighting his diplomatic skills and ability to represent Italy effectively in the EU.

Casini argued that supporting Fitto transcends partisan politics and serves the national interest, much like how Paolo Gentiloni previously represented Italy.

He stressed that the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) is crucial for Italy's future, and political unity is essential to leverage high-level EU positions for the country's growth.

Meanwhile, Giorgia Meloni's recent political maneuvers have been compared to past Italian leaders' interactions with European counterparts, suggesting a continuity of Italy's assertive stance in EU politics.
