Key points
“Doing even better on the priorities: reducing taxes, boosting purchasing power and promoting ever more stable employment”. This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in an interview with *Chi*, on newsstands from Wednesday 12 August, ruling out a cabinet reshuffle in September, as reported by the weekly magazine in a preview of the interview with the Prime Minister.
Economic measures
On the economic and social front – according to a report in *Chi* – the Prime Minister highlights the government’s actions on fuel costs, measures to boost employment and efforts to combat the decline of historic town centres, whilst also reiterating a pragmatic approach to climate change as opposed to “ideological environmentalism”. Meloni, the weekly magazine adds, defends the government’s actions, particularly with a view to the 2027 deadlines: “There is fatigue, and it is making itself felt,” the Prime Minister adds, but “no one can accuse me of holding back”.
Vannacci: a smear campaign designed to favour the left
In an interview with *Chi*, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni described the Vannacci case as “a smear campaign designed to benefit the left”. In the exclusive interview, which will be available at newsagents on Wednesday 12 August, the Prime Minister defends the government’s actions, particularly with a view to the 2027 deadlines, stating that “no one can accuse me of holding back”.
My mates have a laugh when I take Ginevra on a mission; the ladies appreciate it
When she takes part in international missions with her daughter Ginevra, “my counterparts find it amusing, but the best reaction is from the other women I meet, who give me a knowing nod. It’s a language that needs no translation. If this image tells a young girl that she doesn’t have to choose between being a mother and having a career, I’m glad it comes across,” says the Prime Minister. With her daughter, she explains, she seeks “a slower pace and normality” away from the spotlight. The Prime Minister confides to *Chi* the difficulty she faces in answering her daughter’s most personal questions (“‘When she asks me why work comes before her, my heart feels like a little peanut’”) and, as the weekly magazine reports in a preview of the interview, expresses deep concern as a parent about the impact of artificial intelligence and social media on young people.
