what would be my victory – Il Tempo

“For me, a victory at the European Championships would be to confirm the result that brought me to government a year ago. It won’t be easy but it’s the goal I’m aiming for.” Giorgia Meloni’s interview with Agorà, the Rai3 morning television program hosted by Roberto Inciocchi, begins with a message of challenge, and keeping the bar high. In the dialogue with the journalist from Viale Mazzini, the Prime Minister also clarifies the nature of his relations with the President of the Republic: “They are excellent, Sergio Mattarella never fails to support him not for the government but for the nation. Ours is a relationship that we manage directly and personally and those who go out of their way to ruin it will be disappointed. I see a left in disarray that tries to shield itself behind the authority of the President of the Republic, who is a unifying figure, because he doesn’t know how to explain his opposition to a reform that simply wants to allow Italians to directly choose who to govern themselves by.” .

“The reform of the premiership – Meloni continued on the topic – will in any case come into force in the next legislature, predictably in 2028 when it is not a given that Giorgia Meloni will be in Palazzo Chigi and Sergio Mattarella’s mandate will be coming to an end. The reform does not concern either Giorgia Meloni or President Mattarella, it does not concern the present but the future of the nation and it is on this that the Italians will be called upon to decide”.

The leader of the Brothers of Italy then brushes aside the criticism for her sentences on taxes, bringing everyone back to earth with cold numbers on tax evasion: “2023 was the record year in the recovery of tax evasion, the The Revenue Agency recovered almost 25 billion, 4.5 billion more than the previous year. If we are friends of tax evaders, who should be there first? Having a friendly taxman means having a taxman who does not oppress families and businesses, asks you for fair taxes in sustainable times and then uses those funds as a family man would use them. The left was outraged because I said that taxes are not a beautiful thing, but I confirm it.” “I don’t accept lessons from Elly Schlein”, the final blow to the PD secretary.
