“During the election campaign, the left told Italians that if the Brothers of Italy and the center-right had come to power, Italy would have been doomed to decline, Egypt’s plagues would have survived, investors would have abandoned us and unemployment it would explode. But the problem with when you lie openly is that in the end the truth always exposes you. In fact it wasn’t like that and reality prevailed over lies and ideology”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in an interview with Chi, today on newsstands, he sinks the lies of the left and comments: “We have a mandate horizon ahead of us, five years”.
«The OECD and the European Commission – underlines Meloni – have revised upwards the forecasts on the Italian GDP, with an estimated GDP forecast of more than 1.2 percent in 2023. We are demonstrating greater reliability than the rest of the Eurozone, with growth beyond expectations and above the European average and that of the main continental economies, if we consider the 0.7 percent more forecast for France and the 0.2 percent more forecast for Germany. Not to mention the employment data, with the record number of people employed, stable contracts and with an unemployment rate at the lowest level since 2009. A positive macroeconomic framework that, however, requires us to do even more and better, to consolidate and strengthen the trend”. «Today, in all European and international forums, Italy is recognized as a solid, credible and reliable nation. Strong in its reasons and interests, strong in its tradition of dialogue and its geopolitical role And this also means that it is much more listened to than before and therefore more effective in defending its interests. I say this with pride, also thinking of the many who bet that an Italy led by the centre-right would be isolated. Once again the results contradicted the predictions”, says the Prime Minister.
«I believe that balances are made at the end of an experience and not at the beginning. It is true that ten months have passed since we took office and if we look at the average duration of previous governments, it is natural to think that our time is running out, but the road ahead is still long”. In short, “we have a five-year horizon ahead of us. This is our strength – he underlines – but also the element that gives us greater responsibility towards the citizens. Because we feel, more than others, the weight of certain choices and expectations that Italians have of us. Here, perhaps this is the human element I want to underline: the Italians expect a lot from me and I don’t intend to disappoint them».
