Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered a pointed address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the US, where she sharply criticized leftists around the globe. Speaking via video link, Meloni highlighted the irony of left-wing critics being upset over the return of Donald Trump, while at the same time, right-wing leaders from around the world—whom she praised for their unity—are being labeled as threats to democracy.

Meloni specifically mentioned figures like India’s Prime Minister Modi, noting that when right-wing leaders speak, they are often unfairly dismissed as dangers to democratic values. She contrasted this with the past, recalling how former leaders like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were simply seen as politicians when they established a global network of left liberals in the 1990s.

Further, Meloni argued that the public is no longer swayed by what she calls the "lies" of the left, emphasizing that despite their constant attacks, voters continue to support her and her allies. She also defended President Trump, describing him as a strong leader, and dismissed any concerns that his presidency might create divisions within the right-wing coalition. According to Meloni, any hopes by her opponents that Trump would distance himself from their side are misplaced.

Overall, Meloni’s remarks underscore a growing global divide between right-wing unity and left-wing dissent, sparking conversations and debates around the world.
