'PD-M5s-Avs urging EU to sanction Italy' says Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 18 - Premier Giorgia Meloni on Friday said an inquiry to the European Commission presented by MEPs with the opposition Democratic Party (PD), Five-Star Movement (M5S) and Green and Left Alliance (AVS) "asking whether it intends to open an infringement procedure against Italy" over an agreement with Albania for Italian-run migrant centres is a "shame that cannot pass unobserved".
    "You have understood well: some Italian parties have actually urged Europe to sanction their nation and their citizens with the only objective of politically striking this government", the premier wrote on social media.
    "A shame that cannot pass unobserved", added the premier.
