Alliance (AVS) leader Nicola Fratoianni said Monday that Italian
national security can't be entrusted to Elon Musk amid reports,
which Premier Giorgia Meloni has denied, that the SpaceX owner
has reached a deal to hand over the management of Italy's
telecoms security systems to his Starlink satellite programme.
"A negotiation or exclusive discussions between the Italian
government and Elon Musk's company are disturbing: entrusting
the military security of our country to a private company of one
of the most powerful and rich men in the world could be a
resounding mistake," said Fratoianni.
That same man who is today one of the closest advisors to the
future US president and who has been organizing and weaving the
web of the extreme right in all European countries for months.
It cannot be done, we cannot accept it.
"To the concerns for the independence and security of Italy, are
added - continued the leader of SI - other concerns, of an
industrial nature: this assignment to Musk would be the
definitive leap in the privatization of Italy, in terms of
network and communication infrastructures after the sale of the
Telecom network to the American fund KKR.
"All at the hands of the sovereignist Meloni, the same one who
in her inauguration speech in Parliament had given centrality to
the creation of an Italian cloud (an important and central
theme) to remove the sensitive data of the government,
administrations and Italian citizens from the clutches of
digital capitalists.
"After just a couple of years, Meloni contradicts herself and
her promise. We have become accustomed to the lies of Meloni and
associates, no surprise. The problem is that this lie has to do
with national security - concluded Fratoianni - and the
democracy of the country. So they must immediately come to
Parliament to explain what is happening".
