Overview

• Speaking at a centre-right rally in Lamezia Terme, Giorgia Meloni said the PD treated voters as “stupid” by tying a Marche vote to the creation of a Palestinian state.
• She hailed Francesco Acquaroli’s proclaimed victory in the Marche as evidence that citizens reject what she called left‑wing slogans.
• Meloni urged a bipartisan, “compact” vote in Parliament on Thursday on the US Trump plan for the Gaza Strip, saying unity would show Italy truly wants peace.
• She argued that peace will not come from strikes or judicial statements, criticizing actions by unions including CGIL and USB and remarks by magistrates.
• The prime minister also pointed to record employment, wages rising faster than inflation, and plans for justice reform and a stronger premiership, as she campaigned for Roberto Occhiuto’s re‑election in Calabria.
