Meloni at dinner with the foreign press after the defeat in Sardinia: “Between Todde and Lent…”. Broken dreams and the motto “we are all going to die” – The video

The day after the victory of the center-left in Sardinia, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, invited to the dinner of foreign press correspondents, recognizes – ironically – the defeat. “I know that a light intervention is expected but I was not light even at 15 years old and even less after 16 months of government, so you invite me on the days when I lose Sardinia and I also do Lent and I “I don't even drown my sorrows in alcohol…”, Meloni emphasizes in her speech. The Prime Minister also states that she has always believed that “to understand politics, history, literature, it is “We must try to understand the protagonists: trying to understand people can allow us to do our work better,” says the Prime Minister before telling journalists who Giorgia Meloni is. Not just a “mother, a wife, a Christian.” , she says. But also and above all “a journalist and a person who has devoted two-thirds of her existence to political engagement,” she reiterates. And then: “I don’t like staying where I am and, for this reason, I risk staying there longer than others.”

Dreams in the drawer (never realized)

Among the dreams in Meloni's drawer, but never realized. “I would have liked to be a singer but I am deaf. I would have liked to play for the national volleyball team, but I'm a dwarf. I would have liked to meet Michael Jackson but he died too soon.” Among these desires, there was not that of being Prime Minister “because I am too lucid a person. But Michael Jackson taught me the English – he explains –. Not everyone knows that I learned English because I was passionate about music and I wanted to understand what those lyrics were saying. And that helped me in politics foreign,” he confides.

“My slogan: “We are all going to die””

“One of my collaborators says that my slogan is: “We are all going to die” – Meloni joked during the conference -. I am not an optimistic person, I always look at the glass half empty but as I am always able to imagine the worst possible scenario, and generally destiny is always more magnanimous than me, then I am also able to face all the other scenarios because I had planned for the worst”, says the Prime Minister, also stressing that she feels like “an honest and good person”, she explains. However, for Meloni, “one should never under -estimate the potential badness of a good person forced to be bad.” The things that make you the most angry? “The disloyalty, humiliation and random defeats, which often happen to me, let's say this year Didn't start very well.”

“You brought bad luck to Draghi, I’m going there…”

“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 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 – declares- he – and try to stay to rule this nation for a little while.”

Reform of the post of Prime Minister

With the reform of the position of prime minister, what Meloni would like to do “is that the citizens choose who governs and that if they return home, they can vote again: democracy. I want to give stability and greater weight to citizens,” he said. “Time is what the Italian governments lacked: this nation needs stability, to prioritize investments, to have a strategy, to govern economic powers. There are accusations regarding constitutional reform, a famous American commentator quoted Mussolini because he said that for a few votes it will be possible to have the majority: this happens in various democracies like France.
