«I am at the top of all the lists. We want the centre-left to be in opposition in the EU too”

“I have decided to take the field to lead the Brothers of Italy lists in all the electoral constituencies, if I survive.” As Giorgia Meloni from the Fdi stage in Pescara.

«We need to follow the money, we need to attack the traffickers at the heart. Tell us in Italy and Europe where the others want to be. They want to be with us, on the side of those who want to fight the new slavers, or on the side of the mass illegal immigration that makes the fortune of that criminal network. And I ask this in particular of PD secretary Elly Schlein: a clear word is needed on this.” Thus Giorgia Meloni from the Fdi stage in Pescara.

“Those who applaud Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi today branded our criticisms as obscurantism or denialism: the truth is that we were always right, it wasn’t denialism or obscurantism, it was banal realism.” Thus Giorgia Meloni from the Fdi stage in Pescara.

«We want to create a majority that brings together the centre-right forces and sending the left into opposition even in the EU is a difficult but possible undertaking and we must try». As Giorgia Meloni from the Fdi stage in Pescara underlining that «we can also bring the Italian model to Europe, it would be a revolution in which the conservative party is strategic and fundamental»

The result we achieved as FdI “is not an established fact, we must continue to deserve it” and “it makes our wrists tremble”. «But we will not betray the Italians who did not believe» in the «space lies» that «they propagated inside and outside national borders». Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this at the FdI event

«We are a coalition that is together not out of interest but by choice, and it can be seen from the results we are bringing home». Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this while speaking at the Fdi programmatic conference in Pescara.

«Thanks to all the center-right leaders for being here, thanks to Antonio and thanks to Matteo» Salvini, «even if he preferred the bridge to us… I’m obviously joking, I know how important it is to find time and dedicate yourself to your family». So does the prime minister Giorgia Meloni opening his speech at the Fdi event in Pescara.

A video connection while walking down the street, and with her daughter. Thus the leader of the League Matteo Salvini intervenes at the programmatic conference of Fdi, invited by the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with the other leaders of the centre-right, all in attendance. «I’m not present but it’s as if I were there – begins the deputy prime minister – I’ve put down my diary until June 9th but it was the last Sunday I could dedicate to my daughter who had a fever for 4 days and to my son who has a match today.”

“It’s good for him that he doesn’t have a handicapped child, otherwise he would realize he had said something stupid.” He said it, speaking of General Roberto Vannacci, the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa at the FdI event amidst applause from the public.

La Russa, however, urged us not to criminalize the general. Then he added: «How can a soldier challenge his defense minister? For me he is more serious than everything else.”

«The important thing is clarity. If Meloni said vote for me and then maybe I’ll go to the EU, it would be unacceptable. But Meloni says “mine is a way to test Italy’s consensus towards me and my government”. So I find it much better than a thousand polls.” So, “thank you Giorgia for applying.” The president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa said this at the FdI event.

«Let’s finally put a word of pacification on the many young people who lost their lives», during the Years of Lead. Thus the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa at the FdI event. La Russa highlights the existence today of “some bad signs of intolerance in the universities” with the “Jew hunt”. “I see who is trying to bring back (that climate, ed.)”. Today, unlike “the 70s”, “there is a change from many political forces to this way of conceiving the contrast, especially from the President of the Republic. But – she adds – there is a small outbreak in the universities that could become a fire. Let’s stop him while we still have time.”

The head of state Sergio Mattarella this morning he telephoned the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa after the case of the photo posted upside down. Bianca Berlinguer reported this when interviewing La Russa at the FdI event. “I said President, these are not the problems but thank you for your wonderful thoughts, for your solidarity,” La Russa reported.

«I believe that we need to take steps forward, the South has not been able to eliminate the gap with the North for 100 years, perhaps even more. It is possible that working on an autonomy that puts everyone in competition to do better will help the South. I don’t know if we will succeed, I know that so far all other attempts have failed.” The president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa said this at the FdI event in Pescara. «Premiership and autonomy… let’s see how it ends. I hope it ends very well, if it ends very badly we would have done half of what you have done so far”, says La Russa, interviewed by Bianca Berlinguer, addressing the left. Autonomy «we trust that it is a way to rebalance the differences between North and South, we will see. Autonomy does not affect the Constitution, it is an ordinary law, if it doesn’t work another ordinary law will fix it, but at the moment we trust that it is a way to rebalance the differences between North and South, we will see…”.

The premiership “is less invasive than what I would have liked more”, i.e. “a presidential republic with the direct election of the President of the Republic”. The president of the Senate said it Ignazio La Russa at the FdI event in Pescara. «I take the liberty of paying homage to a great President of the Republic», Sergio Mattarella, «a straight and just person, with his ideas not always coinciding» with mine «indeed, but a person I respect and respect, today even more so ».
