San Marino in Brussels – libertas
Why this forward flight of San Marino?
MARINO CECCHETTI. In July doubts began to emerge about the possibility of Andorra, Monaco and San Marino to continue to carry out the project of Association to the European Union together. On September 25, however, the three ministates reiterate that they will go forward together. Monday 10 October, the surprise. The Secretariat of State for Foreign Affairs makes it known that on that very day in Brussels “the San Marino delegation and the European counterpart“they have”negotiations continued“. San Marino has taken to dealing alone!
To break the common front set up over ten years ago, therefore, it is the ministate that is in the most disadvantageous condition, penalized as it is by geopolitics. Andorra can ‘play’ between two states. Monaco borders on only one state, but has an outlet to the sea. In short, Andorra and Monaco – theoretically – could wrest conditions that for San Marino to dismiss more difficult data, its condition as an enclave. Why this forward flight of San Marino?
The ‘haste’ of our Government – it is a hypothesis – could derive from the need that, having won the Association, Brussels immediately helps us to renew the public debt, thus avoiding turning to the International Monetary Fund, whose rigidity is known.
Dealing with giants – a ministate has only giants around it – is always difficult. Disastrous if with water in the throat. We were already burned in Rome when, for fear of running out of coronavirus vaccines, we swallowed – losing over a billion euros? – the ‘mugging’ of Canale 51, owned by our State, in use by SmRtv. We hope that the haste that emerged on Monday 10 October derives from considerations of a completely different kind that Palazzo Begni has chosen as a reserve.
