“She is too Christian Democrat” – Il Tempo

Alessandro Di Battista, a former well-known face of the 5 Star Movement, is among the guests of the March 28 episode of DiMartedì, the La7 evening talk show hosted by Giovanni Floris, and goes down hard with Giorgia Meloni and her work at the helm of the government : “Meloni was convinced she was going to win the elections, Italy really gave it to her by running the Draghi government, for which no one has great nostalgia. The grasshoppers have not arrived as they said, but Meloni, who is behaving exactly like Draghi, indeed like Gentiloni. What I maintain, given that for the sake of truth Meloni has been governing for six months and it would be fair to judge a government in a slightly more substantial way after a first year, however I note that Meloni has come to power with words of fire, anti-establishment and you thought of being more reassuring and a Christian Democrat in the face of strong powers. She went to Europe and told several politicians to stay calm, because a moderate attitude in Europe will allow some things to be achieved ”.

“It is legitimate, he also did it with Joe Biden, he was a hyper-Trumpist and now he hangs on Biden’s lips. In Europe – continued Di Battista – what is being achieved with this moderate attitude? On immigration he has received a few pats on the back in words and in fact he has received some slaps. On electric cars he is getting slapped. We will see what happens on the Mes. Compared to a possible financial autonomy, he is taking a slap in the face, with a meager finance from an economic point of view. There is little money on the bills ahead of the necessities. This attitude of loving each other and staying calm is not paying off. More than fascism, Meloni’s problem is that she is too Christian Democrat ”.
