Meloni: “Without the numbers we will ask for the Referendum. And in foreign policy we bow to no one”

«Guys I have ten minutes, I’m tired… nice to be back here. You have no idea how important this is to me, seeing this enthusiasm that pays me and repays us for every sacrifice made… It’s nice to do it together, with a coalition of which I’m proud. With ministers and a government I’m proud of. With Salvini of whom I am proud, with Berlusconi of whom I am very proud, because a lion is real and I send him a hug. They are not words of circumstance ». Giorgia Meloni takes the stage in Brescia for the closing of the final rally of the center-right in view of the administrative vote of the weekend. The prime minister admits she is ”tired” but the full square gives her strength again. The leader of via della Scrofa begins her speech by praising the compactness of the center-right, her allies, Lega and Fi. Matteo Salvini is with her. Antonio Tajani was unable to come because he was on an official visit to Oslo from where he connected via video. Silvio Berlusconi is missing, still hospitalized at San Raffaele.
And then it gets to the heart of the hottest topics, starting with the reforms. «We want governments chosen by the citizens to realize a vision and five years to achieve it, it is the thing that will put Italy exactly in the position it deserves! And if Parliament does not want to approve a reform of this type with the numbers needed, we will ask the citizens directly with the referendum…”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this in Brescia, launching a warning to the opposition on the reforms. From the stage in Brescia for the closing of the center-right electoral campaign for the administration, the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, speaks. The prime minister embraces several points, from internal politics to international relations, from the question of the birth rate to the issue of rented wombs. And she adds: “This nation has been mortified by politics for years and we want to give back to the nation the possibility of working and growing without a state that puts a spanner in the works”. From the stage in Brescia for the closing of the center-right electoral campaign for the administration, the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, speaks. The premier embraces several points, from internal politics to international relations, from the question of the birth rate to the issue of rented wombs. “We have chosen you – you added – to be a government alongside businesses, workers, families, a government for the birth rate, which bows to no one in foreign policy”.
The CDM and the May Day controversy
«On May 1st we chose to cut taxes on labour, and someone resented saying “do you have to do it on May 1st? And why don’t you do it at Christmas?” Because we don’t have laws to make about Jesus…». Giorgia Meloni uses irony by returning to the controversy for having chosen May 1st to hold a council of ministers on the subject of work. “On Labor Day – he underlines – we have chosen to give a concrete signal to companies and their workers”.
The strength of the government for Salvini
“The goal is to reach the end of the legislature with a federal Italy, and the citizens who will directly elect the Prime Minister and his government majority, and for five years the citizens’ vote will not be touched”. This was stated by the leader of the League and deputy premier Matteo Salvini, in Brescia for the closure of the electoral campaign of the center-right for the administrative offices. A concept which, in fact, reinforces the thought of the premier: “We have a unity that is given by a vision and a common program and by the fact that we are there, solely and exclusively to implement the program that citizens ask us to implement ”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said so in Brescia.
