Meloni, speaking to members of the National Youth movement, said: "Merit has been removed from the center by the 1968 left."

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni closed Fenix ​​2025, the Gioventù Nazionale (the youth organization of the Brothers of Italy) festival, with a much-applauded speech from the stage at Laghetto dell'EUR in Rome. She led the way with a tribute to the Trump activist killed in Utah, USA: "We are against the culture of hate of those who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk."

And again: "The threats multiply as we demonstrate our ability to govern this nation, but we are not afraid. We will never be like the hateful left," the prime minister said. "I will give it my all, until the very end, to the very end: what we have in our hands is a historic opportunity that must not be wasted," Meloni concluded.
