Much of the adulation was reserved for Meloni herself, a forceful 45-year-old who likes to rail against immigration, abortion, same-sex marriage, and the European Union. One clip from a notable speech she made in 2019 at the World Congress of Families — the Southern Poverty Law Centerit as “an umbrella for a massive network of interconnected organizations” that want to strip back rights and protections for LGBTQ people — made the social media rounds to great approval.
In the address, Meloni argued that “those who would like us to no longer have an identity” won’t let her define herself as “Italian, Christian, woman, mother,” and vowed to “defend god, family and country.” This was a clear nod to her party’s motto, “ ,” retained from the Italian Social Movement, a neo-fascist precursor to the Brothers of Italy founded in 1946 by supporters of executed dictator Benito Mussolini.
