Harsh intervention of Giorgia Meloni following the results of the elections in Francewhich in the first round rewarded the party of Marine Le Penwith a percentage of preferences greater than 30%. A result that has led to street protests by the French who evidently do not like the democratic expression when it does not coincide with their own feelings, and which is pushing President Macron’s party into the arms of Melenchon’s left-wing extremists. “I notice something that also happens in different forms in Italy: the constant attempt to demonize and to corner the people who do not vote for the left. It is a trick that serves to escape from confrontation on the merits of the various political proposals“, the Prime Minister told the agency Adnkronos.
Meloni, first of all, was pleased with the high turnout of the French, which demonstrates a firm and decisive will to express their opinion for the government of the country. And she also complimented the National Rally and with “his allies for the clear victory in the first round“. Now France will have to go back to voting for the run-off and, continued the Prime Minister, Marine Le Pen “he knows that I always treat them with respect political dynamics and elections of other nations“. As for his preferences, the Prime Minister does not reveal anything new: “We are facing a very polarized scenario and if you ask me if I prefer the left, in some cases even quite extreme, or the right… Obviously I prefer the right.“.
The French result is a confirmation of the Italian one for the 2022 policies but a preview had already been seen in the European consultations. Europeans called to express their preferences are giving their votes to right-wing parties, providing a precise indication of the direction that Europe will also have to take in the near future. “I have always hoped, also at a European level, that the old barriers between alternative forces to the left and it seems to me that in France too we are going in this direction“, explains the Italian prime minister, who underlines that for the first time Le Pen’s RN “he had some allies already from the first round (Marion Maréchal and the former leader of the Républicain Eric Ciotti)“.
But there is more, because, the Prime Minister continues, “for the first time it seems to me that even the Républicains are inclined not to participate in the so-called ‘republican front’“.
But while on the left there is a demonization of the right, like what happens in Italy, citizens no longer seem accustomed to believing in certain reconstructions: “It’s a trick into which fewer and fewer people fall… We have seen it in Italy, it is seen more and more in Europe and throughout the West“.
