Meloni to the youth of the Brothers of Italy party: "The threats are multiplying, but we're not afraid."
"We will not be afraid of the attempts at censorship, the insults, the threats that are multiplying as we demonstrate our ability to govern this nation. We were not afraid back when you could be killed with a wrench for writing an essay on the Red Brigades, and we are not afraid today." This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, closing with his speech the “Fenix” event organized in Rome by Gioventù Nazionale, the youth movement of Fratelli d'Italia.
Then the question to the left: "What are the freedoms we are denying with the security decree? The freedom to defraud the elderly, the freedom to insult the police, the freedom to freely occupy someone else's home without consequences?" "These will never be our freedoms, we will never defend these freedoms: we will defend and restore to the citizens of this nation the freedoms that have been suppressed by those who now boast about them," the prime minister reiterated.
For Meloni, Charlie Kirk "was scary because he was good at demonstrating how unreasonable certain theses they want to force upon us were. He was dangerous because he dismantled the narrative imposed by the mainstream with logic, because he gave voice to that majority of people who think exactly like him and who had to end up feeling wrong." "It's the others who were raised with the idea that anyone different from you should be put down. We've never been like that. And neither was Charlie Kirk," she emphasized. "None of the moralizers who filled the pages with comments about you felt they needed to say a word about the despicable post published by self-styled anti-fascists, which featured an image of Charlie Kirk upside down with the word -1 and an eloquent caption," Meloni argued.
"It made me smile when they called you Meloni's youth or Meloni's youth. I think they do it to diminish your role, to make you appear as mere laborers serving someone's or a party's electoral interests. Probably because it's more convenient for them to paint you as puppets and avoid having to face reality, so they don't have to tell the truth. And the truth is, as this event demonstrates, you think for yourselves. You're a spectacle," Meloni said at the opening of the event.
