WASHINGTON (ITALPRESS) – “Our opponents hope that President Trump will move away from us. I bet that President Trump, who is a strong and effective leader, will work to strengthen our alliance, working with my government and Europe. And those who hope for divisions will be proved wrong.” So said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaking in a video message at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. “I still believe in the West,” she added, “In the West not as a physical place, but as a civilization. Civilization born from the encounter between Greek philosophy, Roman law, and Christian values. Civilization built, and defended, over the centuries with the genius, energies and sacrifices of so many. By the word West we define a way of conceiving the world in which the person is at the center, life is sacred, men are born equal, and free, and therefore the law is equal for all, sovereignty belongs to the people, and freedom comes before everything else.This is our heritage, and we will never have to apologize for it.” For Meloni, “we must say clearly and forcefully, to those who attack the West from outside, and to those who try to sabotage it from within with the virus of cancel culture and woke ideology, that we will never be ashamed of who we are. We claim our identity, and we work to strengthen it, because without that deep identity we cannot become great again. The radical left wants to erase our history, undermine our identity, divide us by nationality, gender and ideology. But we will not divide, because we are strong only if we are together.And if there can be no West without America — indeed I would say Americas, thinking of the many patriots fighting for freedom in Central and South America — in the same way there can be no West without Europe.”-photo Ipa Agency-(ITALPRESS).
