Italy's Giorgia Meloni Defends Global Conservative Leaders at CPAC

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized liberal elites and praised figures like Trump, Modi, and Milei for shaping a global conservative movement during her CPAC address.

Meloni accused the global Left of hypocrisy, claiming they label conservative leaders as threats to democracy while celebrating liberal collaborations of the past.
She highlighted the growing unity among conservative leaders worldwide, including Trump, Modi, and Milei, as a response to so-called liberal 'hysteria.'
Defending U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Meloni echoed his critique of European leadership, stating Europe has been weakened by 'wokeness' and bureaucratic policies.
Meloni emphasized the importance of national identity, secure borders, and freedom of speech as central tenets of the conservative agenda.
Despite tensions between Europe and the U.S. under Trump’s leadership, Meloni expressed confidence in strong transatlantic cooperation and the need for unified security measures.
