Meloni courageous and clear on Ukraine: with Europe and the West. Chapeau

“We will fight for you and your freedom”. In Kyiv, in front of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Giorgia Meloni spoke as a woman of European state, head of a government that has no doubts about Italy’s position in the world, who are its friends and who are its enemies, who shares our same values ​​of freedom and who instead wants to drown them in blood. “Those who really work for peace are those who support Ukraine militarily”. “Your struggle is like our Risorgimento”. “I will tell the Italians what happens here”.

A leadership is measured by the courage to make decisions in spite of public opinion, which in Italy is divided on support for Ukraine. And today Meloni, with clearness, and not without the pathos of courage, has positioned Italy alongside the United States, Poland and England. The front line of European and Western democratic defense. Chapeau.
