The current political context
Amid rising political tension, Giorgia Meloni delivered a powerful speech in Perugia, closing her campaign in support of center-right candidate Donatella Tesei. The premier addressed key issues such as immigration and relations with the opposition, highlighting the need for a decisive and collaborative approach to address the challenges of government. Meloni stressed the importance of keeping commitments made to Italians, saying: “When I make a commitment, I bring it home.”
Immigration: a central issue
One of the highlights of Meloni's speech was the issue of immigration. The prime minister said that the government intends to continue the fight against illegal immigration, despite recent decisions by the judiciary. "The government respects roles, but will continue to block illegal immigration," she said, highlighting her determination to ensure the security of Italy's borders. Meloni also criticized some legal interpretations that, in her opinion, hinder the repatriation of individuals who commit crimes in the country.
The relationship with the opposition
Another topic addressed by Meloni was the relationship with the opposition, in particular with the Democratic Party and its secretary Elly Schlein. The prime minister expressed her frustration with the lack of clarity on the part of the Democratic Party regarding the vote in the European Parliament for the appointment of Raffaele Fitto as EU commissioner. “He does not have to answer to me but to the Italian citizens,” she stressed, recalling the importance of political responsibility. Meloni also joked about the opposition's attitude, accusing it of trying to undermine the government rather than collaborate for the good of the country.
A vision for the future
Finally, Meloni reiterated her determination to continue working for the good of Italy, stating that her patience and capacity for work have no limits. “There is only one limit and that is the consensus of the citizens,” she declared, promising that the government will not remain in power without popular support. With a clear and decisive message, the prime minister closed her speech, inviting everyone to reflect on political responsibilities and the importance of a constructive dialogue for the future of the country.
