Government: Meloni, ‘There will be obstacles but we are not afraid’

The government “has an ambitious program and there will be no shortage of obstacles to carry it forward, however we are not afraid, we do not lack the courage, the vision and we do not lack respect for the citizens who have given us the task of governing this nation”. That’s what he underlines Prime Minister Giorgia Meloniin a message on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Confapi.

The government, explains the premier, intends “to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to revolutionize this nation because the citizens have not chosen us to maintain the Status quo” but to “make reforms that no one else has had the courage to do” with “the determination to go all the way. It’s a difficult path but one that doesn’t scare us”.

Then speaking via video conference at the 2023 Summit for Democracy, the prime minister underlines that democracy and economic growth are interdependent and that only a democratic system can guarantee growth, justice, equality and legality. “Democracy brings economic growth and spreads prosperity”, she adds, and “economic growth and prosperity strengthen democracy”. “Only a democratic system can ensure the essential conditions to trigger sustainable growth”.

According to Meloni, the Summit for democracy represents “a great opportunity for our democracies to work together against the unprecedented challenges and new threats that the pandemic and Russia’s brutal aggression against Ukraine have placed before us. We all believe in democratic values “.

A presidential reform of the state
“It is necessary to ensure that institutions are stable, fast and efficient. Having more stable, fast and efficient institutions means being able to have greater reliability at an international level and work to focus energies on strategic and long-term objectives. This is the direction my government wants to goIndeed, we firmly believe that democracy can become even stronger and more solid through a presidential reform of the state, a reform that I consider fundamental and which also represents a powerful measure for economic growth”.
