The founder of a far-right Italian party and the country’s likely future leader has called for a blockade of Libya to prevent migrants from crossing the Mediterranean. Meloni, who counts former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi among her supporters, made the remarks over the weekend. Meloni is set to become Italy’s first female leader after a September 25 election triggered by Draghi’s resignation as Prime Minister. Aside from the naval blockade, Maloni has suggested penalties for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who rescue migrants at sea and transport them to Italian receiving centers. Meloni presently leads surveys six weeks before Italians vote in an emergency election triggered by Draghi’s forced resignation as Prime Minister.

If not, why has Eni not yet closed supply contracts with historical customers which include large utilities in Northern Italy?

They must also assure states that do not have nuclear weapons that they will not use -- or threaten to use -- nuclear weapons against them, and be transparent throughout. In the end, there is only one solution to the nuclear threat: not to have nuclear weapons at all.
