According to MTI, Meloni, who is the head of the Italian Brotherhood Party, described the upcoming European Parliament elections as a decisive battle and a historic turning point.
“The goal is for Europe to be closer to its people, i.e. to move to the right. Imagine if FDI and its allies were able to form a center-right majority in the European Parliament, how much more would we be able to do? What to do! The center and the left would end the abnormal majority, Of which the European People's Party (the party family) has been a part many times.” He added: “Just as we succeeded in bringing victory to the right wing in Italy, we can transfer the Italian model to Europe, we can finally send the left into opposition, and we can start a real revolution.” He stressed that “the left, the successor to the former Communist Party, which replaced Moscow with Brussels, cannot teach the right a lesson about Europeanism.”
He said that, on the one hand, he views the European Parliament elections as a test of his rule in Italy, and on the other hand, as head of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, he cannot withdraw from Parliament. Contest either. He believed that the European Council would have a strategic role in the next Parliament.

Vote.
Among other things, Meloni described the European green transition policy as left-wing ideological madness. He said that while “environmental troublemakers destroying artistic treasures and the Green Taliban” claim that agriculture is the enemy of the environment and therefore insects and meat produced in laboratories should be eaten, there are no environmentalists more convinced than conservatives, since they are the common homeland. And the protected homeland.
Among the challenges, he mentioned halting population decline, stressing that instead of surrogacy, which is considered a crime in Italy, there is a need for families consisting of one father and one mother so that Europe will no longer be an old continent.
