Minister Sangiuliano’s “is a precedent I do not intend to lend myself to. If anyone thinks that situations like these can serve to weaken the government, I fear that will not happen. The king is dead, long live the king: yesterday while the press was waiting for the minister’s resignation, I was already at the Quirinale to nominate the new minister”. Not even 24 hours have passed since the resignation of the now ex-Minister of Culture, Gennaro SangiulianoThat Georgia Meloni takes the stage at the Cernobbio forum. He immediately talks about the case involving his former government representative, who ended up in controversy over the scandal linked to the ghost consultant, his lover, Mary Rosaria Boccia.
The prime minister is keen to thank Sangiuliano “for the excellent work” he did at the Roman College. “He resigned “but there is no wrongdoing. There was a lot of media attention that transformed a private matter into a public matter. I don’t think it’s something you have to lend yourself to and so I didn’t initially accept Sangiuliano’s resignation,” the prime minister explained. “I did it yesterday because he wanted to free himself from the status of minister to better defend himself and because the government’s authority couldn’t be under this media pressure.” Then she tries to joke about it: “Today I lead the ninth longest-serving government in history. If I get to Christmas it will be the sixth. Easter? I didn’t take it into account because I’m superstitious…then when I get past Christmas I’ll study Easter; stability is the key. Jokes aside,” she added, “we have to think about how much this has cost us.”

And Boccia? “I don’t think I should argue with this person, I say this for the many women who have looked at this story like me. My idea of how a woman should earn a place in society is diametrically opposed to that of this person”, the jab at the never-appointed consultant at the Mic that Meloni still calls “that person” as on TV a few days ago. And she specifies: “Yesterday, when the press was still waiting for Sangiuliano’s resignation, I was already at the Quirinale to sign the nomination of the new minister. I intend to do my job, do it well and until the end of the legislature”, continuing on the thread of reasoning on the affair that led to the changing of the guard at the Collegio Romano, and on how many, she suggests, were ‘rooting’ for a fatal stumble on the path of Palazzo Chigi. “I also think that Italians understand a certain double standard, that more importance is given to things that would be less relevant and less to things that would be more relevant”, Meloni continued, still speaking to the audience of the Cernobbio Forum. She then said she was “very struck by the disproportion of articles that have been dedicated to the private affair of Minister Sangiuliano compared to those dedicated to an investigation, carried out by the Perugia Prosecutor’s Office, which tells of state officials who for years have made hundreds of thousands of illegal accesses to the databases of this nation, reasonably to blackmail people. I think we must bring things back to their rightful importance, if we want to give a hand to the institutions of this nation”, she observed again.
Before her speech, Meloni met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Villa d’Este: “We discussed how to continue working to achieve a just peace”. And reiterated “the centrality of support for Ukraine in the agenda of the Italian G7 presidency and the continued commitment to the legitimate defense of Ukraine and a just and lasting peace”.
Regarding the budget law, “there will not be the abolition of the single allowance and many other things read in the newspapers – said Meloni – There is the will to continue doing things by confirming the measures we already had. This with the awareness that the season of bonuses and resources thrown out the window is over. “Is there little money? It cannot be thrown away. The priorities that give the best multiplier – she explained – are companies that hire, wages, the defense of the purchasing power of families, the health of citizens and the birth rate, a problem that we must address. Our welfare system with these democratic data will not hold up – concluded the prime minister – because the population continues to age, fewer and fewer children are born and we will have more and more people to support and fewer people who work to support them. We will not get out of this unless we also promote different policies here”.
