“I am also a human being.” Giorgia Meloni was largely absent from the celebrations marking the anniversary of the Brothers of Italy taking office in government. A change of plans after returning at night from missions in Egypt and Israel and separation from companion Andrea Giambruno. «Being a community also means knowing how to make sacrifices, it is right that a community wants the best of us to be here, but you see that a community must also know how to make sacrifices – says Crosetto from the stage – as a community we must understand this. We tell her that we love her very much.” The official explanation is that he preferred to stay at home “with his daughter” and precisely in anticipation of a possible lump sum, the Prime Minister recorded, during his stay in Cairo, a video message that was transmitted from the Brancaccio stage. A positive balance is drawn by Meloni “proud of what we did and also of myself, despite all the attempts to divide us and make us argue”.
One of the leitmotifs of the day is that with this government the people once again become sovereign, a concept also reiterated by the Prime Minister: «A year ago was a historic day, for the Brothers of Italy and for the right, for the Italians who, after 11 years of governments held in the Palace finally saw a government directly expressing its will, and it was a historic day for Italy, which for the first time since its unification saw a woman at the head of the government.”
He then goes on to talk about the attacks «the methods that are used in an attempt to weaken us have reached unprecedented levels» and the reason, according to Meloni, is because «we have the courage and patience to dismantle one by one the incrustations of power that drowned this nation, to deeply reform what needs to be reformed without looking anyone in the face.” The leader of the Brothers of Italy speaks to her followers: «Without fear, head straight, look up and smile on your face. We have great things to do achieve for our people and we will achieve them.” Then she attacked: «The others can continue rolling in the mud, let’s fly high. Are you convinced that in the end you will be able to make us lose our patience? So far, they have only lost because our shoulders are broad, our conscience is clear. Our goals are big and what is important for us is not to disappoint Italy and the Italians.”
Then the Prime Minister explains that in some circles they were not used to “a Prime Minister who always holds his head high: I didn’t compromise, I did what I thought was right even when I had to pay the price. Because that’s how we grew up and that’s how we understand politics.” One of the traits that characterized the action of the party and the government was “coherence” which is also the reason why “even with the inevitable mistakes that accompanied us” there is still “so much affection on the part of Italians”. With the Brothers of Italy at Palazzo Chigi “we brought to the government the true Italy that is not described in the newspapers or on television rooms”.
