Another (more serious) possibility.

Forget GTO and negotiate a low cost launch on one of the remaining 5 Vega development flights (1500km?)

Then use propulsion to get to MEO.

Better than sitting on the ground and it tests the propulsion systems and software for P5A

Sounds like an idea. It seems for the future, having out own propulsion is going to be a must, and yes, it is rocket science and we're just gonna have to make it work.
