Light blue background and a bright tricolor behind. It is the 15-minute video with which to demolish point by point the left-wing propaganda machine set up to create opposition to the reforms that the government is carrying out. Giorgia Meloni’s idea is not simply to reiterate the legitimacy of her own choices but to disprove her accusers by demonstrating, with data in hand, that today’s criticisms are only opportunistic reconstructions that demonstrate the hypocrisy of the left. Not to mention the verbal violence in the Chamber where «a 5 Star parliamentarian evoked Piazzale Loreto for us. “In practice – says Meloni – I should be massacred and hung upside down.”
Against this poisonous climate, the prime minister prefers to talk about the goals achieved. «The government’s work to reform this nation is progressing at a rapid pace – explains the Prime Minister in the video published on her social profiles -, despite the ferocious opposition of those who, saying every day that many things in Italy are not going well, propose that we the only plan is to leave everything as it is.”
«We have already started several important reforms – he explains -: that of the tax authorities, which has been awaited for 50 years, and that of justice, which has been talked about for about 30 years. We have done that of the Procurement Code and, above all, the premiership which has completed its first reading in the Senate and which, if Italians want it, will finally allow citizens to directly choose the head of government, putting an end to 70 years of instability , seaside governments, technicians, rainbows, betrayed promises and transformations.” «They accuse us of every possible atrocity – comments the prime minister -. Regarding the premiership, they accuse us of an authoritarian drift, then it turns out that Achille Occhetto’s PDS also proposed it about 30 years ago. In practice, Occhetto was much ahead of Schlein.”
The height of hypocrisy, however, lies in claiming that differentiated autonomy will split Italy. «To understand how sincere they are when they make this continuous accusation of wanting to split Italy or, in protest, wave, on the contrary, the tricolor flags in the Chamber, it is worth recalling some background facts». And here Meloni recalls that differentiated autonomy is the result of that reform of Title V of the Constitution implemented by the center-left under the Amato government “with majority blows”. “And just to say how much they cared about it – adds the Prime Minister – that was the culmination of a journey started in ’97 by the Prodi government and continued with the governments of Massimo D’Alema”. The merit of the government, she explains, is that of having given “a framework of rules to implement that principle”. «Several regions – recalls the prime minister – have loudly asked to follow up on the provisions of the Constitution. You will say, Veneto and Lombardy, governed by the centre-right, are asking for it. Not exactly. Of course, those Regions also celebrated a specific referendum, and citizens confirmed that they wanted greater Autonomy, and signed agreements for its implementation, but curiously no one remembers that the Emilia Romagna Region, led by the Democratic Party, did the same thing in February 2018 , Gentiloni government, exponent of the Democratic Party”. The Prime Minister recalls that a similar initiative has also been taken by other Regions, “even Governor De Luca’s Campania who today pretends not to remember and is tearing his clothes against our measure”.
«Violent words and ways used by the left – concludes Meloni – on our work are nothing more than a desperate defense of the status quo, a condition of privilege that has guaranteed some to the detriment of the majority of Italians».
Schlein’s reaction was immediate: “I understand it’s difficult to digest the defeat in the runoffs and the attempt to get people talking about something else.” Like that of the Cinquestelle.
«Curious how President Meloni found the time, way and words to comment on the sentence of one of our deputies – replies Francesco Silvestri – without ever feeling the need to clarify what emerged from the Fanpage investigation regarding the subversive tendencies of the youth organization of FdI”.
