The warning in the introduction is that he has “some voice problems” and therefore hopes to be able to complete the speech that closes the curtain on Atreju’s works. In the end, however, Giorgia Meloni continues for 70 minutes, warning the opposition that, as long as she has the consensus of the Italians in her favor, “there is no way to get rid of me” and attacking, in no specific order, the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, Giuseppe Conte’s M5s, the “big unions” who “increase general strikes” and “make morals about the minimum wage after signing contracts worth 5 euros per hour”. The Prime Minister has something for everyone, and Chiara Ferragni also ends up in his sights (“the model to follow is not the influencers who make a lot of money promoting very expensive panettone with which they make people believe they will do charity, but whose price only serves to pay for the prestige of millionaires”) and Roberto Saviano (“no writer tells Caivano’s stories, perhaps because the Camorra sells much more”).
On the stage set up in the gardens of Castel Sant’Angelo, in Rome, in front of FdI activists and allies Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani, the Prime Minister immediately takes off her coat (because “we are dying of heat”), thanks “all those who worked hard in via della Scrofa” for the success of the event (30 thousand participants in 4 days according to the organizers), “including Arianna”, the sister who rules out running for the European elections (“I’m a soldier and I always do what I’m told , but I prefer to stay behind the scenes”). He then states that Atreju “is in every aspect the most beautiful manifestation of militancy and politics that exists in Italy” and, therefore, “it is no coincidence that it is so coveted among those who resent not having been invited, those who even invite themselves, those who openly refuse the invitation. It reminded me of that memorable scene from Nanni Moretti’s ‘Ecce Bombo’ that said ‘Do you notice me more if I go and stand aside or if I don’t go?'” The first impulse is therefore directed precisely at the secretary of the dem : “Dear Elly Schlein, you can also decide not to participate, but there is no need to insult all those who accepted our invitation, demonstrating a courage that you evidently lack.” The next target is the M5 because, remember, “the big news compared to the past, we stopped wasting taxpayers’ money. We canceled the citizenship income for those who could work, and would do it again a thousand times”. .The super bonus left us a hole of 140 billion euros, as much as the State spends on a year with the entire healthcare system, and then they tell us that we needed to put the money into healthcare.”
Meloni is a full river, for those who shout “come on, Giorgia!” of the audience. he responds with a tense “thank you”, then joking about the work done so far at Palazzo Chigi: “This government was born 14 months ago, but frankly it seems to me like it’s been 14 years. about”. The reference is to the secretary of the League, Matteo Salvini, who, speaking before her, had declared: “We intend to govern this country for a long time together. And if the alternative is Schlein we are condemned to govern for 20 years. years. So, God keep her healthy at the helm of the Democratic Party. Even for Meloni, however, who is grateful to Silvio Berlusconi, the center-right executive’s expiration date is far from close: “We are not a flash in the pan. The center-right government, led by the Brothers of Italy, will be that of Italy with its back straight, its head held high, its shoes full of mud and its hands clean.”
The Prime Minister then, addressing her followers, cites “that extraordinary metaphor that is the Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was right, that “ring of power” is insidious, it tries to make you lose your sense of reality. But a One thing is stronger than this ring, and it’s called company. I know that this ring will never have us: we are the same people we were yesterday and we will be the same people tomorrow as we are today, and we will fulfill our task, whatever the cost.” And it applies even if the referendum on the prime minister goes wrong because, he explains, the situation is different from that which occurred with Matteo Renzi: “The referendum is not about me. I am the present, the referendum is about the future of this nation. And it will not be in the hands of the parties, the bureaucrats, the powerful, but in the hands of the Italians”. Just as it will be up to those who will vote in the European elections in June to decide “between a confederation of free and sovereign nations and a federalist superstate that erases nations”. a replacement for the Soviet Union It will be a memorable encounter with history.”
