The prime minister and leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, closes Atreju, the Brothers of Italy party, addressing the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein. Who declined the invitation to participate in the event: «As a democrat – explained Schlein – I will always be open to discussion on the merits with everyone. Also and above all with the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. But what I declined was never an invitation to discuss the merits, it was an invitation to his party party on the day in which in Parliament they denied us the discussion on the minimum wage which concerns three and a half million workers. They would come there, in the appropriate place, to make the comparison when we ask. And then I would like it to be clear that due to my political culture I would never have been able to take the stage with a subversive who said that Pedro Sanchez should be hung by the feet, like Abascal (the Spanish leader of Vox, ed.). I don't share the stage with those nostalgic for Francoism and fascism ."

My thanks to those who are no longer here, thanks to Silvio Berlusconi ."

Then, referring to the : «If those who took the citizen's income to work illegally when they could have done so hate me, it doesn't matter. I don't intend to buy people's consent. That is a privilege that I leave to other political forces."
