Rome, 11 Aug. (LaPresse) – “To do even better on our priorities: reducing taxes, boosting purchasing power and promoting increasingly stable employment”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni outlines the government’s agenda for the return from the summer break in an exclusive interview with the weekly magazine ‘Chi’, on sale from tomorrow, ruling out any cabinet reshuffles in September. The Prime Minister thus defends the government’s work, particularly with a view to the 2027 deadlines: “No one can accuse me of holding back.” On the economic and social front, she highlights the measures taken on fuel costs, employment initiatives and the fight against the decline of historic town centres, whilst also reiterating a pragmatic approach to climate change as opposed to “ideological environmentalism”. From her institutional commitments, the conversation then turns to her personal life, the accumulated fatigue (“I am tired and I can feel it”) and her relationship with her daughter Ginevra, with whom she seeks “a slower pace and normality” away from the spotlight. The Prime Minister then confides to the weekly magazine the difficulty she faces in answering her daughter’s most intimate questions (“When she asks me why work comes before her, my heart shrinks to the size of a peanut”) and expresses deep concern, as a parent, about the impact of artificial intelligence and social media on young people. Finally, Meloni also responds to criticism from those who are surprised to see her travelling on official occasions with her daughter in tow: “My counterparts find it amusing, but the best reaction is from the other women I meet, who give me a knowing nod. It’s a language that needs no translation. If this image tells a young girl that she doesn’t have to choose between being a mother and having a career, I’m glad it’s being seen.”
