euronews | Italy's Giorgia Meloni throws her hat in the ring for EU elections (28.04.24)
Live from the Fratelli d'Italia programmatic conference in Pescara, the Italian prime minister announced her candidacy in the European elections next June. Giorgia Meloni is officially a candidate in the European elections next June. From the stage of the programmatic conference of her party, Brothers of Italy, in Pescara, the Prime Minister announced that she will run.

This article misrepresents Meloni's  electoral ambition @ 02:12:28 - 03:26:09.
synopsis: The next general election in Italy is 2027, barring a snap. Italian local elections will be held 8-9 June 2024 during EP elections. Meloni did not announce her candidacy for any EP seat. And the venue is too far removed from EP and College lobbies ("debate about who should be the president of the Commission before the vote is objectively surreal") to pad Selmyr's favor bank. However, Italy is hosting this summer's G7 bully pulpit. So with typical populist, nationalist, or patriotic pride (without mentioning names beginning with Mo) she positions Fratelli d'Italia's domestic achievements near the center of European political tradition; in fact, "center-right" lol. She emphasizes, "The European People's Party is finished" and the "Italian model" best represents Charles De Gaulle's imperative designs for the ECC. In her words, "'there can be no other Europe than that of national states.' Everything, the rest, is myth, speeches, superstructures. Today like yesterday, a Europe of strong nations that decide to get together in foreign politics and international defense of the external borders can really live up to building a strong Europe." Meloni is not a eurosceptic; to the contrary, she urges further integration of "L'Italia Cambia L'Europa" in the EP and Commission in order to "bring honesty into the institutions" in both Italy and the EU—class conflict (epitomized by peculiar comparisons of communists with -socialists, subsidarity with competition, immigration with exploitation, Albanians with Africans, family with feminism, Moscow with Brussels). Accordingly, euronews' report skims Meloni's voluminous litany of financial "scams" in Italy fostered by 'gods, bureaucrats, locked in a glass palace' in Brussels. In conclusion, Meloni rejects "federalism," quibbles over tactics, and prepares partisans to pack parliaments—high and low—with "Made in Italy" auteurs. She rehearsed the Brothers' stump speech.
