Red jacket and white shirt, the tree illuminated by flashing lights and the Christmas stars in the vases in the background, with the blur effect softening: Giorgia Meloni sends Christmas greetings “to all Italians” with a video on social media in a stylish non-formal, without the classic table and flags of Palazzo Chigi. What comes from the Prime Minister is a desire for “serenity” and “pride”, together with the statement that “the government is doing its part to help Italy in this difficult situation we find ourselves in”, with the observation that “the enthusiasm of each one of us is important”. “A special thought” goes to those who go to work even on holidays “to guarantee each of us essential services” and, therefore, to the police, to those who work in hospitals, to the military on missions abroad.
«I want to wish all Italians a Merry Christmas. May it be a Christmas of serenity, may it be a Christmas of pride. The government is doing its part to help Italy in this difficult situation we find ourselves in. But the enthusiasm of each of us is important. That’s why I hope it’s a Christmas of enthusiasm, a peaceful Christmas, a peaceful holiday”, says the Prime Minister in the video message published on social media. «I want to address – he adds – a particular thought to the Italians who, even on holidays, will work to ensure that each of us has essential services. Those who work in the police, those who work in hospitals, those who are involved in peacekeeping missions abroad, thank them above all. And best wishes, Italy”
