Giorgia Meloni, head of the Italian Brotherhood Party, described the upcoming European Parliament elections as a decisive battle and a historic turning point.
“The goal is for Europe to be closer to its people, that is, to move towards the right. Imagine how much we would be able to do if FDI and its allies were able to form a center-right majority in the European Parliament! There would be an end to the unnatural majority formed by the center and the left.” “Just as we succeeded in bringing victory to the right wing in Italy, we can take the Italian model to Europe, we can finally send the left into opposition, and we can start a real revolution,” the Prime Minister said, of which the European People's Party has been part many times. Then he added:
Because the left, the successor to the former Communist Party, which replaced Moscow with Brussels, cannot teach the right a lesson about Europeanism.
He said that, on the one hand, he views the European Parliament elections as a test of his rule in Italy, and on the other hand, as head of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, he cannot withdraw from Parliament. Contest either. He believed that the European Council would have a strategic role in the next Parliament.
“We have been written off so many times, they still think we are crazy, they keep repeating that we face an unwinnable challenge, we will disappear, and yet we have managed to exceed expectations. It is time to raise the bar even higher, let's change Europe!” Meloni added:
Even in the European Union, we will protect our national products, borders and identity together with all other European countries that recognize similar principles.
The politician promised that his election campaign would not distract him from his duties as Prime Minister. In his program speech, which lasted for more than an hour, the Prime Minister recalled that the FdI party had not yet entered the European Parliament in 2014, in 2019 it received 6.5 percent, and in September 2022 it entered the government as the largest Italian party with 26.5 percent of the total votes. vote. He believed that Italy, thanks to his right-wing government, had once again become a champion on the international stage, making its voice heard in Europe and its head held high.
Immigration, “Green Taliban”, population decline
He stated that there are no second-class member states in the European Union, and it is necessary to maintain contact with everyone, especially since the voice of each country in the European Council is of equal value. As he said, he is not ashamed of dialogue with any party family, but he categorically ruled out alliance with the socialists.
He stressed that the left supports mass illegal immigration, which only benefits human traffickers and serves their enrichment. He called for ensuring the right of every individual to remain in his country, and not to be forced to emigrate, which is a solution against immigration.
He described the European green transition policy as left-wing ideological madness. He said that while “environmental troublemakers destroying monuments and the Green Taliban” claim that agriculture is the enemy of the environment and that insects and meat produced in laboratories should be eaten, there are no environmentalists more convinced than conservatives, because they protect the environment. The homeland and the common homeland are protected. Among the challenges, he mentioned halting population decline, stressing that instead of surrogacy, which is considered a crime in Italy, there is a need for families consisting of one father and one mother so that Europe will no longer be an old continent.
The leaders of the ruling Italian parties and opposition forces are scheduled to run as leaders in the European Parliament elections next June, with the exception of Matteo Salvini, the leader of the League, and Giuseppe Conte, the head of the Five Star Movement. Elections in Italy are scheduled for the afternoon of June 8 and throughout the day of June 9.
