“We stand by those who work and those who want to give their concrete contributions to make Italy great again”. These are the words of Giorgia Meloni, once again via social media. The Prime Minister chose Facebook to claim his line. “According to the left press, he writes, the Italian right is the hostage of extremely dangerous “lobbies” such as traders, fishermen and seaside resorts.

This is the second intervention by the prime minister in a matter of hours, always and only on Facebook. Before the “lobby” theme, he explained the measures taken in the last Council of Ministers in a long video: the rule of taxation of the extra earnings of the banks, the interventions in taxis and expensive planes.
