Italian Premier Georgia Meloni last Tuesday outlined all the policies her government will be pushing for and said foreign interference would not be entertained. She was livid at the reaction of critics from the EU and Italy, who are critical of far-right politics.

PM Meloni Disagrees with EU's Foreign Interference

In a message to Parliament's lower Chamber of Deputies ahead of a confidence vote required of all new governments, Meloni slammed the European Union for not being prepared for obstacles, especially the severe energy crisis currently confronting homes and businesses, reported Republic World.

Nevertheless, she committed that her four-day-old administration, as well as its right-wing and center-right coalition members, would stay committed to EU treaties while pushing for reforms, particularly on macroeconomic stability.

One of her statements during her address was hitting at critics and foreign interference, those from other countries, saying it was their right to determine what is right and how to run Italy. Many of these detractors fear the new Italian Premier Georgia Meloni will not play ball with Brussels or Washington, noted Kiro7.

In the election, the premier's 10-year-old Brothers of Italy party got the most votes in the parliamentary election last month. It brought about 26% of all votes given.

With top allies, like anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini, and conservative former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, Meloni's coalition could garner the support needed in the two legislatures to get the necessary confidence votes to start working as a government.

Scheduled to cast votes is the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday night, with the Senate the next day. It included the pledge during the campaign to support Ukraine against Russia too.

Meloni strives to prove the fears of her critic that gaining power means several things. One is to refute the abortion right law and stress the center-right administration will not curtail freedoms.

A need to increase an aging population by promoting a booth in the slackened birthrate is alarming. One way is to have more free daycare centers and nursery schools operating during business and store hours. Most important is rewarding firms that allow women to work and carry out their home duties, too, citing Yahoo.

Italian Premier Georgia Meloni Charged as Fascist

The Brothers of Italy, which she co-founded in 2012, is supposed to have far-right leanings. Nostalgists have an acute link to the 20th-century dictator Benito Mussolini. To this effect, she told legislators of the Chamber of Deputies that she has no tolerance for or allegiance to any undemocratic system, including fascism.

One of her remarks is how Mussolini had made racist laws in 1938 that led to the oppression of the Jews during that period. She called it one of the low points in the history of Italy.

Last Tuesday, October 25, during her first address to the legislature, one month since her far-right party won a landmark electoral win, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni affirmed her continued support for the European Union, NATO, and Ukraine, mentioned Le Monde.

Meloni disagrees with how foreign interference is making claims that are unfounded.
