Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made a significant statement regarding the growing strength of right-wing leaders in global politics. Meloni bly criticized the policies and double standards of leftist ideologies.
Washington: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a major statement addressing the rising influence of right-wing leaders in global politics. During her virtual address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington D.C., Meloni asserted that right-wing leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former US President Donald Trump, and Argentinian President Javier Milei, are strengthening a new international alliance. Meloni also sharply criticized the policies and double standards of leftist ideologies.
Why are Modi and Trump considered threats to democracy?
In her speech, Meloni questioned the narrative surrounding the political alignment of leaders. She pointed out that when former US President Bill Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair established a global leftist liberal network in the 1990s, they were lauded as progressive and visionary leaders. However, she argued, when Donald Trump, PM Modi, Javier Milei, or she herself work with like-minded leaders, it is framed as a threat to democracy. She attributed this to the frustration and double standards of the left.
The right's unity is causing unease among the left
Meloni stated that the global unity of right-wing leaders is making those with leftist ideologies uncomfortable. She said, "Donald Trump's popularity and the rise of conservative politics have left the left despondent. This is not only because right-wing leaders are winning elections, but also because they are collaborating internationally. A new ideology is taking shape in the world."
False propaganda cannot sway the people
Meloni asserted that citizens worldwide are no longer misled by leftist propaganda. Using her own political experience as an example, she noted that despite facing numerous negative campaigns, the public placed their trust in her and gave her power. Meloni stated, "We love our nation, prioritize the security of our borders, and are committed to freedom. That is why the people stand with us."
Trump's victory will strengthen America's security
Meloni praised Trump's leadership, stating that his presidency would strengthen America and the world. She compared Trump's decisions regarding the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan to those of the Biden administration. She said, "If Donald Trump were president, we would not have seen the disaster that unfolded in Afghanistan four years ago. Trump's b policies will make America secure again."
Frank opinion on the Ukraine crisis
Speaking on the Russia-Ukraine war, Meloni stated that security has become a primary concern in Europe. She commended the courage of the Ukrainian people and emphasized the need for lasting peace in the conflict. She said, "We are working towards a peace that is built on the contributions of all parties involved."
Meloni concluded her speech by noting the rapidly changing global political landscape. The increasing number of right-wing led countries is pushing back against leftist ideology. She predicted that the right-wing alliance will strengthen further in the coming years, creating a new current in world politics.
