Giorgia Meloni against the opposition and Report, while launching his candidacy for the European elections from the stage of the Fratelli d’Italia conference. Closing the Fdi programmatic conference in Pescara was the speech of the prime minister who officially announced that she was running for the June vote, as the leader in all 5 European constituencies, without failing to throw a dig at the PD secretary, Elly Schlein .
The candidacy for the European elections
In her speech at the end of the party’s two days, the Prime Minister touched on various topics from the superbonus to the possibility of Mario Draghi becoming president of the European Commission, from migrants to the case of the Albanian Prime Minister Rama against Report, but with her electoral campaign for the European elections: “I have decided to take the field to lead the Brothers of Italy in all constituenciesif I survive” he announced to applause.
“I have always considered myself a soldier and soldiers, when they have to, do not hesitate to take the front line” said the prime minister, assuring that she will not take away “a single minute of the government’s activity to campaign on my name”, and then give a stabbed Elly Schlein: “Since I am not the secretary of the Democratic Party I think I can trust that my party will do everything it can to help me.”

“I ask Italians to write my name, but my first name at the European elections – she added – I am proud that the majority of citizens who address me call me Giorgia. I have been mocked for years for my popular roots, they called me fisherman, villager… But I am proud to be a person of the people”.
The attack on Schlein on migrants
“We want send the left into opposition also in Europe, as in Italy” said Meloni again, underlining that “when we say never with the left it is not a slogan based on convenience, as others have done, but on our identity. There are no half measures, take it or leave it.”
From the Pescara stage, Giorgia Meloni brought up Elly Schlein also on the topic of migrants: “The left has no solution to propose on the issue of migration, or more simply they do not have the courage to say what the solution is for them, the indiscriminate welcome of anyone who wants to arrive in Italy, in Europe, to the great satisfaction of slavers and criminals who profit from the desperate” he stated, asking for clarity from the secretary of the Democratic Party.
“Tell us, in Italy and in Europe, where they want to be – was the attack – tell us if they want to be with us on the side of legality and on the side of those who fight the new slavers, or if they want to be on the side of illegal immigration of mass that makes the fortune of those criminal networks”.
The joke on Salvini and the attack on Report
Meloni’s speech began with thanks to all the center-right leaders present at the event, even to the Northern League secretary Salvini who instead sent a video message: “Thanks to Matteo even if he preferred the bridge… I’m obviously joking, I know how important it is to find time and dedicate yourself to your family” said the prime minister.
During her speech, the Fdi leader took the opportunity to attack Report for his reporting on Albania after the agreement on migrants. “Help me send Edi Rama our solidarity in being lynched just for having tried to help our nation”, said the prime minister, adding: “Even Telemeloni, you know him, don’t you, Telemeloni? You created a report on Albania in which you portrayed yourself as a narco-state.”
