French-Italian treaty raises many questions

Macron and Draghi sign deal that until today no one had read - not even the Italian parliament

Dear all,

I’ve written a piece about the “enhanced cooperation treaty” — known as the Quirinale Treaty — that Macron and Draghi will be signing in Rome today, its secretive nature and why it is likely to entrench Italy’s subsumption into France’s sphere of influence, and further erode what little sovereignty Italy has left.

[Update: the draft of the deal was published a few minutes ago]

Best,
