Movisol chair Liliana Gorini and Italian business association leader Alessia Ruggeri informed EIR today that Gen. Fabio Mini, former Chief of the General Staff of NATO’s Southern Command, has called for the Atlantic Alliance to be dissolved as “a threat to the security of Europe.” In an interview published May 7 by AmbienteWeb (https://www.ambienteweb.org/2022/05/07/gen-fabio-mini-sciogliere-la-nato-perche-e-diventata-una-minaccia-alla-sicurezza-in-europa/), General Mini explained:
“NATO in the current configuration should be dissolved to create a new regional security structure more closely linked to the United Nations rather than to a single member state, and more representative of Europe in the field of international security management. In fact, NATO prevents Europe from having its own defense and security capacity; for over 20 years it has no longer been a defensive alliance; it has become a security threat in Europe; before the interests of its allies, it puts those of the United States and even those of states that incite war at the expense of European security. Each of these reasons is justified by a blatant violation of the Atlantic Treaty. So if you want to continue ignoring these reasons, it would be at least honest to completely review the terms of the treaty. In fact, Article 1 commits the parties to respect the charter of the United Nations and to settle any international dispute that jeopardizes peace and security by peaceful means. Enlargement was immediately an international controversy that jeopardized security and peace.” [Emphasis in original]
