Meloni and the spells on Draghi's challenge to the foreign press: “You brought him bad luck…” – The video

At the Foreign Press Association Correspondents' Dinner, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was the protagonist of an (ironic) question and answer from the stage of the event. The President of Correspondents, before introducing Meloni, recalled the first dinner about two years ago, when the then Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, attended the event. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Draghi who honored us with his presence at the first dinner and, in his case, it was also the last – the president recalls -. His government fell just two days after that evening. The fall of governments after correspondents' dinners can also be a tradition.” Meloni's response was not long in coming. Before closing her speech, the Prime Minister returned to the joke of the President of the Association. ” I won't break out into a dance because it's not exactly the right day but I thank you if only for the good omen because you invited me to this dinner and after inviting me you invited me explained that two days later Mario Draghi came… … you brought him unprecedented bad luck…”, jokes Meloni. “I will do my best to leave this room as soon as possible – he concludes – and try to stay to govern this nation for a little while.”
