Giorgia Meloni Praises PM Modi and Trump
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Criticizes Liberal Network
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently delivered a scathing critique of what she referred to as a “liberal network.” Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC, PM Meloni accused the Left of hypocrisy and reacted with “hysteria” to the rise of conservative leaders globally.
Critique of Liberals and Double Standards
PM Meloni highlighted the double standards of liberals, noting that while leaders like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were praised for creating a global leftist liberal network in the 90s, conservative leaders like Donald Trump, Narendra Modi, and others are now labeled as threats to democracy. She emphasized that despite the attacks and mudslinging from the Left, citizens continue to support conservative leaders.
Praise for President Trump
During her speech, PM Meloni praised US President Donald Trump as a steadfast leader who remains aligned with global conservatives despite external pressures. She noted that the Left has become increasingly nervous and hysterical following President Trump’s victory and the collaboration among conservatives on a global scale.
Controversy Surrounding CPAC
PM Meloni’s decision to address CPAC was met with strong opposition from her political adversaries in Rome, especially after Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, appeared to use a Nazi salute during the conference. Opposition MPs called on PM Meloni to cancel her participation, citing concerns over Bannon’s actions.
Response from Political Adversaries
Elly Schlein, leader of Italy’s center-left Democratic Party, criticized PM Meloni for her participation in the event, urging her to distance herself from what she described as a “neo-fascist gathering.” Schlein also raised concerns about PM Meloni’s silence on Trump’s insults and attacks on Ukraine and the European Union.
Transatlantic Partnership and Future Relations
Addressing concerns about strained ties between the United States and its European allies, PM Meloni reassured that the transatlantic partnership remains intact. She expressed confidence that the United States and Europe will continue to maintain close relations under the leadership of President Trump.
Global Diplomatic Outreach
PM Meloni’s remarks come at a time when there are growing concerns in Europe over President Trump’s diplomatic outreach to Russia and his warnings of a potential shift in US policy toward Europe, particularly regarding NATO. Despite these challenges, PM Meloni remains optimistic about the future of transatlantic relations.
