Big and small: find the differences

How do you measure the greatness of a leader? From the facts, only the facts count, not the chatter of opponents or the interested compliments, but the chronicle of things that happen. Year 2025, Monday 24 February, chronicle of the day of Giorgia Meloni , President of the Council of Ministers: G7 meeting on the crisis in Ukraine; phone call of compliments and first exchange of views on the European scenario with the winner of the elections in Germany, Friedrich Merz; summit with the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for the signing of economic agreements worth 40 billion dollars; Council of Ministers in which Meloni postpones the provision on utility bills because she wants to improve it with respect to the needs of Italian families; Swg survey on the consensus of the parties where Fratelli d'Italia, after two and a half years of government, is over 30 percent; last but not least, the day ended with a bang, with a press conference by Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office in Washington, with the President of the United States of America deciding to highlight the "very strong leadership" of "Giorgia".

Imagine Macron 's face as the most powerful man in the world speaks like this about the Italian prime minister. And try to paint the expressions of Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte and all the other aspiring opposition leaders today. Reality is stronger than propaganda, Meloni is a professional like we haven't seen in a long time, she's a professional, she's eaten "minestra e politica" (a coinage by Francesco Cossiga) since she was a child, and this makes her different, tempered, of course not infallible, but by far one of the most brilliant figures on the international scene. Governing is difficult, even more so in these times, but Italians know that Meloni and the center-right are a guarantee of stability. No impulsive actions, there is no adventure, as Lucio Dalla sang, "the exceptional feat, believe me, is being normal"
