Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni took a dig at the global political left wing, accusing them of “double standards.” She also gave a shoutout to world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump, and Argentinian President Javier Milei, as figures shaping a new global conservative movement.
Meloni made the statement while addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC via video link on Saturday.
“With Trump’s victory, their irritation has turned into hysteria. Not only because conservatives are winning, but because conservatives are now collaborating globally,” Meloni said.
“When Bill Clinton and Tony Blair created the global leftist liberal network in the 90s, they were called statesmen. Today, when Trump, Meloni, Milei, or maybe Modi talk, they are called a threat to democracy,” she added.
Reaffirming her support for Donald Trump and his leadership, Meloni said the Left is worried as conservative leaders are winning and working together worldwide.
“This is the Left’s double standard, but we are used to it. And the good news is, people no longer believe in their lies,” Meloni said.
The Italian PM stated that, despite all the criticism thrown at them, citizens continue to vote for conservative leaders because “we defend freedom. We love our nations.”
“We want secure borders. We preserve businesses and citizens. We defend family and life. We fight against wokeism. We protect our sacred right to our faith and our free speech. And we stand for common sense. So ultimately, our struggle is hard, but the choice is simple,” Meloni said.
Meloni called for strengthening security measures to ensure lasting peace in Europe.
She emphasised that there is a growing awareness in Europe that security is now the top priority and that freedom cannot be defended without the means or the courage to do so.
“Happiness depends on freedom, and freedom depends on courage.
“We proved this when we stopped invasions, won our independence, and overthrew dictators. And we have done it together over the last three years in Ukraine, where a proud people fight for their freedom against brutal aggression.
“We must continue today, working together for a just and lasting peace—a peace that can only be built with the contribution of all, but above all, with strong leadership,” the Italian PM said.
