Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni slammed the Left and said that the Conservatives across the world are being portrayed as the threat to democracy, as she addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in the US.
Addressing the conference via a video-link, Meloni said, “When Bill Clinton and Tony Blair created the global leftist liberal network in the 90s, they were called statesmen. Today, when [US President Donald] Trump, Meloni, [Argentina President Javier] Milei or maybe [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi talk, they are called a threat to democracy.”
“This is the Left’s double standard, but we are used to it, and the good news is people no longer believe in their lies, despite all the mud they throw at us. Citizens keep voting for us,” she added.
She said that “conservatives keep on growing, are becoming more and more influential in European politics, and that is why the Left is nervous and with Trump’s victory, their irritation has turned into hysteria, not only because conservatives are winning, but because conservatives are now collaborating globally”.
Her statements reflected the articulation by the Global Right, that had gathered at the annual congregation of the Conservatives in the US.
Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference at the National Harbour in Maryland, just outside Washington DCUS President Donald Trump said, “We’re going to forge a new and lasting political majority that will drive American politics for generations to come.”
On the sidelines of the conference, Trump met with conservative Polish President Andrzej Duda amid rising tensions in Europe over Russia’s war in Ukraine. After he took the stage, Trump saluted Duda and another attendee, Argentine President Javier Milei.
