Giorgia Meloni’s party came first in the 2022 elections in Italy with 26% of the vote, and voting intentions remain at this level as the European elections on June 6-9 approach. “We want to do in Europe exactly what we did in Italy on September 25, 2022: create a majority that unites the forces of the right to ultimately send the left back into opposition, even in Europe!” declared the head of the government.
“Leader of European conservatives”
She announced that she would be at the top of the European list after an hour-long speech during which she praised the efforts of her coalition, in power for a year and a half, to fight illegal immigration, defend family and Christian values.
“I do it because I want to ask Italians if they are satisfied with the work we do in Italy and what we do in Europe,” she said. “I do it because in addition to being president of Fratelli d’Italia, I am also leader of European conservatives who want to have a decisive role in changing European politics,” she said.
