Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni delivered an impassioned speech on the state of Europe at CPAC on Saturday, asserting that Europe’s identity had been “sacrificed on the altar of wokeness, bureaucracy, and mercantilism.”
Meloni came to the defense of Vice President JD Vance in her speech, who has been heavily critiqued by European elites for his speech regarding censorship and cultural identity at the Munich Security conference last week.
In her address, Meloni declared, “We must say to [the elites] that we will never be ashamed of who we are … we affirm our identity and work to strengthen it.”
“Without a deep-rooted identity, we cannot be great again,” Meloni emphasized.
During her appearance via video at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the prime minister described supporters of mass migration in Europe as part of a “mainstream propaganda machine”…
