Meloni: «The Quirinale is not in my plans, but enough with the center-left monopoly»

«I am totally focused on closing this mandate well and asking Italians to confirm their trust in me for another five years. The Quirinale is not in my plans. Having said this, it is not clear why the idea that a personality of conservative culture could one day aspire to that role should cause a scandal." Thus Giorgia Meloni in Bruno Vespa's book "History of the Second Republic. From Berlusconi to Meloni, from Prodi to Schlein", out tomorrow, Monday 2 November, from Mondadori-Rai libri.

«But who said that to be an excellent President of the Republic you necessarily have to come from the centre-left? I find this "cultural racism" unbearable according to which a part of Italians, approximately half or more, must always be considered the daughter of a lesser god, in many cases by people who supported the Soviet Union as young people. Even enough. After that, however, I think that the hysterical crises that come to the left every time the possibility arises that, next time, it could be a center-right majority that indicates the President of the Republic says a lot about the proprietary concept they have of the institutions", adds the Prime Minister.
