Tensioni geopolitiche emergono nel conflitto ucraino. Dopo i negoziati a Istanbul, Vladimir Putin e Donald Trump hanno discusso tramite una telefonata di 70 minuti, durante la quale Trump ha denunciato che gli Stati Uniti non erano stati avvisati degli attacchi ucraini e ha avvertito che la Russia risponderà, con “pace non immediata”. L'attacco ucraino con droni partiti dall'interno del territorio russo ha colpito postazioni di lancio missilistico caratterizzati da visibilita' satellitare in applicazione degli Accordi SALT. Pertanto ora Putin si trova costretto a disapplicare gli impegni di trasparenza e reciproco controllo per proteggere le proprie basi.
2 - Bruxelles cerca fondi per il riarmo, mentre il premier britannico Keir Starmer ha annunciato il riarmamento del Regno Unito.
3 - In Italia, il governo Meloni sembra favorevole a un intervento statale in settori strategici (vedi acciaierie di Taranto)
4 - Il Senato ha approvato un decreto sulla sicurezza che richiama ideologie del passato e che risulta funzionale ad una paggior repressione del dissenso politico.
Recent developments indicate a rise in geopolitical tensions, particularly concerning Ukraine. Following the second round of negotiations in Istanbul, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump held a 70-minute phone call to discuss the ongoing conflict. Trump remarked that the United States had not been forewarned about Ukraine's attacks, emphasizing that Russia would retaliate and that “peace will not be immediate.” In terms of U.S.-Europe collaboration, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth notably skipped the Ramstein summit, echoing Trump's stance.
Meanwhile, Brussels is actively seeking funding for rearmament initiatives, with a proposal for a new budget set to debut in 2028 scheduled for July 16. The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has announced the UK's rearmament, positioning himself as a key supporter of Ukraine and expressing readiness for potential conflict.
The Italian government led by Meloni appears to recognize the benefits of a proactive state role in strategic economic sectors, evident in discussions surrounding the former ILVA steel plant. Over the past decade, the European Union has invested in media organizations to promote pro-European narratives.
Domestically, the Senate has approved a security decree reflecting the characteristics of past right-wing ideologies, particularly anti-worker and anti-student sentiments. This initiative is part of a broader trend regarding the evolving interpretation of “security,” which has gained renewed attention in post-pandemic discussions, resonating even within leftist discourse.
On June 8 and 9, Italians had the opportunity to participate in a referendum that proposed to surgically abolish a series of laws on work and citizenship rights, but the quorum of voters, which was just over 30%, was not reached.The proponents had been completely successful in collecting signatures thanks to the Cgil, which confirms itself as an important logistical infrastructure for the left.-----------------------/--
