🇮🇹🇪🇺 This is utterly unacceptable. Reports indicate that Giorgia Meloni is preparing to sideline Roberto Cingolani, CEO of Leonardo, Italy’s largest defence group. The reason? Multiple sources suggest this is not about performance - under Cingolani, Leonardo’s stock has registered a +700% increase - but rather about the “Michelangelo Dome”. Leonardo’s new AI-based air defence system, reportedly set to be tested in Ukraine in 2026, is now seen as “too competitive” for Washington. According to several reports, Cingolani’s perceived “too European” stance - focused on strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy - may have played against him. If confirmed, this would be a political decision against Europe’s industrial and strategic interests. European states cannot claim sovereignty, and then punish those who actually try to build it.
