Giorgia Meloni turns 47 years old and on her special day she decided to indulge in a nice question and answer with the program Un giorno da pecora, broadcast on Radio 1. The Prime Minister was received by the two presenters, Geppi Cucciari and Giorgio Lauro, with a cake inscribed ‘Congratulations Giorgia’, complete with party balloons. The leader of the Brothers of Italy received an avalanche of birthday wishes: “Among those who wished me a happy birthday was Matteo Salvini, who I met. I admit that there are currently 1400 unresolved messages on my phone, I usually respond to them all but for the first time in my life I think I won’t be able to do so. I don’t know if Elly Schlein wished me a happy birthday, Giuseppe Conte sent it to me, his was one of the first I read, he sent it to me very soon. The ones I managed to see were those of the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak. How old do I feel? 47, maybe even 48 or 49 in this period. Thank you everyone, I hope I can respond, maybe in March-April, I love you, thank you.”
Then, amid laughter and jokes, here is the revelation of the difficulties of the role: “A year at Palazzo Chigi is worth an entire legislature, one year seems like five to you… The gift I would like to receive? Being able to sleep.” Finally, to the hosts who asked her if she will still be at Palazzo Chigi when she turns 50, Meloni responded like this: “It will be in January 2027, so of course, it depends on us.” A clear message for all critics.
