Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Responds To Critics Of Her Italy First, Conservative Policies – 'I Like To Respond With Results'

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni responded to critics that have attacked her policy platform and the state of her home nation, explaining that she prefers to let her actions speak louder than her words. 

Meloni sat down with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday where the Italian official was asked about her opinion on a New York Times article that is titled ‘What’s Happening in Italy Is Scary and It’s Spreading.’ The article claimed that Italy was taking major steps in the wrong direction on issues of attacking migrants for “undermining the triad of God, nation and family.” The article said that these have “dire practical consequences for migrants, nongovernmental organizations, and same-sex parents.”

Bartiromo specifically asked if the official had anything to say to her critics.

"There is nothing I want to tell to those who criticize me. I think it is a right they have," she said in response. "The only way I like to respond is with results, so I react. I do what I think is right for my nation, for the interests of my nation, and I think that what is happening in Italy is the only thing that really can give an answer or not."

For actions, Meloni pointed to the recent economic success that Italy has witnessed after she vowed that “[the government] will not disturb you” to the businesses. She is hoping and expecting the nation to do better without the interference of the government in business, saying that the state was “creating problems” via regulation. 

One of the main points that Meloni discussed was her belief that the government needed to work alongside the people for the country to find success. 

"We want to create richness," she said. "You will have a state, you will have institutions able to work with you, near you. That doesn't mean that we don't have rules. We have it, and we are quite strict on it, but we want them to believe there is nothing the institutions can do if the people do not answer. So, we have to go all in the same direction. We have to do it together, and that was my first message."

Ultimately, Meloni is not concerned with her critics and is happy with the state of Italy. "Things are going well," she said. "I think I see also in the Italian economy that people now believe that things can change, that things can get better, so they do more, and that's what, in my opinion, can make the difference."

There may be critics of Meloni, but her results show positive change for the country whether they like it or not. Americans may be unfamiliar with a politician caring more about their citizens than migrants with the Biden administration carrying them on a pedestal, but it was actually once normal to care more about a country’s citizens than illegals.
