Meloni: Italy cannot share the choice to occupy Gaza

'Israel's reaction is decidedly disproportionate, a picture that can only get worse with the occupation of Gaza City, a choice that Italy cannot share'. Thus Prime Minister and leader of Fratelli d'Italia, Giorgia Meloni, from the stage in Ancona to support Francesco Acquaroli's run for the presidency of Marche. 'Hamas terrorists still refuse to free hostages,' she added. 'Let us try to build peace with answers, not only with slogans'.

"Days ago I read a headline in The Telegraph newspaper which, when translated, said: "You know Europe is in a mess when Italy is the leading player". In this headline there is one of the many elements of snootiness we have been used to, but it shows us a very clear idea of how we were seen before and not now. Today we are leading the way because that is what a nation deserves,' the premier added at the close of the centre-right's election campaign.

 This was the expression used by Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister and leader of FdI, at the centre-right's rally in Ancona for Francesco Acquaroli ahead of the Marche Regionals. "Let's take the debate back to where it belongs. For some it is difficult because they do not know what to say,' he said, 'some do it for political strategy because they are without arguments, others for personal gain because there is a business of hatred. Every day I see posts on social media full of accusations and insults against me and the government, and they are almost always accompanied by an invitation to buy something, a book, a ticket to a play. I don't take moral lessons from these guys.
