Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has exposed how leftists stay in power even when they lose elections.

Dividends have begun to pay off for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s migration strategy as figures have shown a near-two-thirds reduction of illegal arrivals over last year. Statistics released this week by the Italian Interior Ministry showed that 41,530 illegal immigrants landed on the country’s coasts since the start of the year. While still historically high, the figure represents a 64 per cent decline over the same period last year, when 114,513 were recorded reaching Italian beaches amid a massive wave of illegals pouring across the Mediterranean from North Africa, particularly Tunisia. The figures also show a drop compared to...

Locals had criticised the previous tax rules after rich expats buying property in Italy sent house prices spiking. Italy's government has approved an increase in the annual flat tax applied to income earned abroad by new fiscal residents in Italy. The annual fixed fee will jump to €200,000, from the current total of €100,000. Unpopular among locals, the tax arrangement is informally known as the "billionaires" tax or "the footballers scheme" - it is credited with attracting thousands of multi-millionaires to Italy. One high-profile individual who benefited from the system was Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to Turin...

Who can you put next to President Joe Biden that will make him look good? We know it’s not the G7, as Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni had to wrangle the US commander-in-chief when he threatened to drift away from the group of world leaders during a parachuting demonstration. And Saturday confirmed that former president Barack Obama isn’t the answer either, after grabbing his former VP by the wrist and guiding him by his shoulders off the stage at a Los Angeles event as Biden appeared to freeze for about five seconds. Biden’s handlers have already equipped him with special...

President Biden awkwardly saluted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as he arrived at the G7 summit in Italy on Thursday. Biden, 81, was the last of the world leaders to arrive at the venue in southern Puglia as he shuffled onto the stage where Meloni was waiting. The two spoke for a few moments before Meloni pointed toward a frame of the G7 logo, which each leader in attendance signed with a marker. As he began to walk off the platform, Biden raised his right hand over his eye and saluted his Italian counterpart.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomes Argentinian President Javier Milei upon his arrival to Israel at Ben Gurion Airport. Milei, who assumed office in December, reiterates his pledge to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem. Katz thanks Milei, who made Israel his first bilateral overseas destination as president, for his support for Israel against Hamas and for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “You are a person of values ​​who is committed only to the truth,” Katz tells Milei, speaking through a translator, “and it is no wonder that you chose to come to Israel right away to support us in the just...

Rome, Nov. 6 (Reuters)-The Italian government on Monday granted citizenship to a critically ill baby girl from Britain, in a move aimed at preventing doctors from weaning her off life support and allowing her to be moved to Italy. Eight-month old Indi Gregory suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease, which means that her cells do not produce enough energy. A hospital in Nottingham, central England, says there is no point in continuing treatment. England's High Court agreed, ruling last month it was in the baby's "best interests" to be taken off of life support, and refusing last week a request...

The image below is a screenshot from the website of the Council of Ministers (www.governo.it/it/articolo/comunicato-stampa-del-consiglio-dei-ministri-n-42/23077). Meloni’s cabinet website. The Meloni government is going to allow 452,000 new legal immigrants into Italy over the next three years. And they would like 833,000, but legislation does not (yet) exist to authorize that. The website is sure to mention that Meloni herself signed the decree and wishes to “promote legal immigration” to Italy. The web page also mentions that a further 40,000 seasonal workers will be admitted each year. These ‘seasonal’ workers never leave and quickly become members of Italy’s 700,000 illegal immigrants...

Polls close 11pm ET. Exit poll will also be released.

ITALY — With the election of right-wing candidate Giorgia Meloni as Italy's first female Prime Minister, the Left has announced they no longer support strong, independent women. "This is an absolute disaster. Maybe women do belong in the kitchen," said Italian Leftist Atlantic contributor Gianna Mozzarella. "If we had spent less time empowering women, maybe we could have stopped this far, far-right, right-wing fascist, far-extremist far, far, Nazi right-extremist right-winger from getting elected." Experts in the EU, the World Economic Forum, and famed supervillain organization Spectre are warning that Meloni is extremely dangerous. "We can't overstate just how far, far,...

Listen to the speech given by Giorgia Meloni. The whole show is worth listening to. Her brief speech begins at about the 20 minute mark. I hope Trump and DeSantis hears this and starts using it. It's time for the republicans to stop being just the "controlled opposition" and become the uncontrolled and uncontrollable opposition. Stop condemning, stop apologizing, for anyone on our side.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drafted articles of impeachment against newly elected Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Tuesday to combat what she calls "far-right extremist Mussolini cosplay under the Tuscan sun."

This week, President Biden denounced the election of Italy's first woman Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, calling it "a threat to democracy. Her program of 'yes to the natural family, no to the LGBT lobby, yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology, yes to secure borders, no to mass migration, no to Islamist violence, no to big international finance, and no to the bureaucrats of Brussels!' sounds like the same kind of nonsense we hear from Donald Trump. I will do everything in my power to bring down her government." Biden also rebuked United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss's plan...

A friend of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and two other women were shot dead Sunday when a man opened fire at a Rome coffee shop. The women were holding a board meeting for their condominium in Rome’s Fidene district when the 57-year-old gunman stormed in and opened fire, according to Italian authorities. The suspect was overpowered and detained by other residents at the meeting. Arriving police arrested the man. “He came into the room, closed the door and shouted, ‘I’ll kill you all’ and then started to shoot,” one witness said, according to Italian news agency Ansa. The suspect...

As the globalist LGBT agenda continues its aggressive campaign to gradually erode religious liberty in the West, Christians might finally have found a champion in one European leader. That leader is Italy’s conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who, according to Breitbart, recently torched the United Nations for advancing aggressive LGBT causes. Earlier this week, Victor Madrigal-Borloz addressed the UN Human Rights Council saying that in situations where religious freedom conflicts with LGBT rights, then religious liberty must yield, saying that religious beliefs that come into conflict with the LGBT agenda are “beyond the scope of the right freedom of religion...

Efforts by Trudeau to push his LGBT agenda at the G7 reportedly left Italian PM Giorgia Meloni looking “visibly” irate. Sparks are reportedly flying at the G7 meeting in Hiroshima, Japan, with a comment on LGBT issues by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being described as leaving his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, looking visibly annoyed. Since assuming power last year, Meloni has been steadily pushing Italy to the right on various social issues, including LGBT ideology, something that has seen her party rise to commanding heights in popularity polling. Such popularity does not appear to have impressed substitute drama teacher-turned-leader...

Whenever Donald Trump speaks or does something publicly, it produces rage for many on the left. But he’s not alone as their target. Intelligent conservative women who rise to prominence and excel in their chosen professions seem to be catching up fast with Trump in that regard. (snip) It’s no surprise, if you’ve paid attention to activist liberal “journalism,” that some of the most venomous assaults directed toward Meloni have originated from progressive sites in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Australia. The truth is, Giorgia Meloni has an inspiring backstory. She grew up in a working-class Roman neighborhood...

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told political opponents on Wednesday she will not bow to the political pressure exerted by powerful elites in favor of open borders. Speaking during Question Time in the Chamber of Deputies, Meloni responded to questions related to her government’s handling of the ever-increasing migratory pressure in the Mediterranean following government data published this week that revealed more than 20,000 people have now reached the country so far this year. “As long as there are departures on boats in bad condition, navigating in bad weather conditions, there will be loss of life,” she told parliamentary colleagues....
