On 5 September 2026, "Libero Quotidiano" published fragments of Alessandra Sallusti's book-intelligence with Giorgia Meloni. The Italian Prime Minister aims at restoring national pride, credibility and work ethos. Her way from the folk territory to Palazzo Chigi shows that the right can break the political monopoly of the elite.
A country worthy of a nation
Giorgia Meloni does not bring politics into the method management of budgets and offices. In the Italian journal, fragments of the conversation with Alessandr Sallustim talk about an earlier and larger task: The Italians are to regain pride from their own community, and the state is to gain their trust again. It's a abroad language to liberal elites who would like to close their national identity in a museum cabinet.
The Prime Minister points to a simple relationship. Even a good law will be celebrated if a citizen sees an opponent state. Capable people will leave or start looking for connections if institutions do not reward science, competence and effort. The restoration of the community so requires a good state, but besides a moral order in which service to the nation is not a origin for shame.
Promotion from the folk territory to Palazzo Chigi
Meloni presents his own way as evidence that political barriers can be broken. In the book, it recalls that it originates from the folk territory and as a right-wing politician, it reached the cabinet on the first level of Palazzo Chigi. The Prime Minister's Office took over on 22 October 2022. Her triumph ended with a period in which successive Italian cabinets formed as a consequence of parliamentary agreements, without a direct mandate gained by the winning camp in the election.
Today Meloni's government enrolled as the longest-serving cabinet in the past of the Italian Republic. The evidence itself does not yet find the assessment of his policies. However, it shows that the conservative right can gain power and keep stableness despite constant media and political pressure. This is an crucial answer for those who present the right as a protest movement, allegedly incapable to rule.
Young People request Models of Service
The subject of the young generation is peculiarly strong. Meloni opposes the culture of empty publicity of people whose work is of real value: researchers, soldiers and doctors. He wants young Italy to plan its own future for the benefit of the country. This isn't about authoritative coercion. It's about restoring respect for duty, dedication and expertise.
It's a dispute over the hierarchy of values. If the top prestige wins a demonstration of luxury, the community loses its best energy in pursuit of appearance. If the state and public culture honor liable work, the ambition of the individual can strengthen the full nation. Meloni has already explained clearly why she identifies with the right. In the latest conversation, this declaration translates into a imagination of the state.
Lesson for Poland
Poland faces a akin problem. A country that does not respect its own citizens, work and national memory produces cynicism itself. Young Poles will not associate the future with their homeland if the promotion depends on the agreements, and the public service is associated with organization loot. Patriotism needs symbols, but it survives through honest institutions and real opportunities for development.
Meloni's words are besides needed due to the fact that they reject the false choice between individual success and common good. The national right should make conditions in which capacity, entrepreneurship and work build the strength of their own country. At stake is the sovereignty understood practically: whether Polish talents will strengthen Poland or another economies. Without restoring trust in the state, even the loudest slogans will stay a decoration.
