In the last European elections, the Brothers of Italy won six seats in the European Parliament, but a recent poll by Ipsos for Euronews indicates that the party could obtain up to 24 seats in the next elections in June
The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, announced this Sunday her candidacy for the European elections in June, at a time when the party’s voting intentions are growing.
“I have always considered myself a soldier and soldiers do not hesitate to put themselves on the front line when necessary,” said the prime minister during her speech at the conference of the Brothers of Italy, the far-right party she leads, in Pescara, Italy.
“We want Italy to be central to changing what doesn’t work in Europe. Because yes, Italy is changing today, although many said it was not possible”, added Giorgia Meloni, who promises to take her conservative speech to Brussels.
The Italian Prime Minister and now candidate for the European elections also refused to “give in to the delusions of political correctness so in vogue in some chic salons”, also rejecting “tolerate the assault on squares and monuments in the name of a canceled culture that wanted it”.
“We cannot remain silent in the face of those who, in our schools and universities, teach hatred of our history and our civilization. We cannot accept lessons from those who want a secular Europe, but want schools to close during Ramadan and, at the same time, time, they ask with the same consistency that the crucifix be removed from the classrooms”, he added.
In the last European elections, the Brothers of Italy won six seats in the European Parliament, but a recent poll by Ipsos for Euronews shows that the party could obtain up to 24 seats in the next elections in June, with 27% of the votes.
The poll was referred to by Meloni in his speech, in which he said that the growth in voting intentions is not seen as “a rhetorical exercise of self-satisfaction and self-celebration”, but rather to remember that “what we gain is not something that we have acquired forever, we must continue to deserve it.”
