In an extensive interview given to the weekly ChiPrime Minister Giorgia Meloni sets the guidelines for the political agenda in view of the autumn recovery. From the economic maneuver, focused on taxes and work, up to the summer rest with his daughter Ginevra and the evaluations of the current political framework, the Prime Minister takes stock of the executive’s activity, claiming the work done: “No one can accuse me of sparing myself”.

The political program and the September budget

The priority objective for the return from the summer holidays is to “do even better on the priorities” of the executive, firmly excluding any possibility of a government reshuffle: “Lighten taxes, strengthen purchasing power and encourage increasingly stable employment”.

Meloni defends the decisions already adopted: “No one can accuse me of having spared myself”, he states, claiming the interventions adopted on the economic and social front to control the cost of fuel, encourage and stabilize employment, combat the desertification of urban centers and support a more balanced and less ideological approach also on environmental and climate issues.

Holidays and the search for normality

Pausing on the island of La Maddalena, in Sardiniathe prime minister will then continue her holidays in other Italian locations kept confidential to protect her privacy and enjoy time with her daughter Ginevra. In his suitcase there are few but essential objects missing: a novel to disconnect from the continuous reading of official documents, a bunch of buraco cards and the desire to live days at a slow pace, without the tyranny of the clock. A search for normality that is not always easy, as Meloni herself admits: “Trying to rest for a few days with journalists outside the door and photographers climbing the trees is not easy. But this is the only moment in which I can just be a mother, and I try to defend it as best I can”.

The protection of the daughter

On the family front, Meloni explains that he limits his public appearances daughter Ginevra so as not to make them miss school days, and then broaden the reflection to the challenges that await the younger generations. What worries the prime minister above all are the pitfalls of the new technological contexts and the advent ofartificial intelligencewhich risk reducing job opportunities and making the line between fiction and reality increasingly thin.

But the biggest fear concerns critical thinking: “It worries me that kids stop thinking, giving themselves answers and limit themselves to asking questions to a machine”observes Meloni, highlighting how society and parents are not yet fully equipped to manage a cultural impact of this magnitude

The Vannacci chapter

The interview ends with an insight into General Roberto Vannacci, leader of the newborn movement National Future (which recently declared around 140 thousand members and published its political manifesto). The Prime Minister dismisses the initiative by defining it bluntly “an operation built to favor the left”.
