Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni received a standing ovation at the closing day of the Rimini Meeting. During the event, Bernhard Scholz, head of the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples Foundation, thanked the prime minister for her administration's efforts. Clearly moved, Meloni greeted and thanked the audience before beginning her speech. In her speech, the prime minister addressed both foreign and internal challenges, emphasizing the need to "rebuild Italian politics with new bricks". On the war in Ukraine, she reaffirmed the government’s stance, underlining the need for solid security guarantees to prevent new aggression, and pointed to Italy’s proposal inspired by NATO’s Article 5 as the main one on the table. Meloni defended Israel's right to security in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre in the Middle East. However, she condemned the disproportionate response and the murdering of journalists in Gaza, identifying it as an attack on press freedom. She dedicated ample space to immigration: the Prime Minister highlighted the successes achieved in lowering irregular admissions and deaths at sea, emphasizing that the State will continue to ensure security and respect for the law. Domestically, Meloni referenced the Caivano model and investments in addiction prevention, criticizing drugs while emphasizing support for rehabilitation communities. She also addressed the dropping birth rate, introducing a housing plan for young couples and stressing family benefits worth more than €16 billion in 2024, including free daycare for the second child. She rejected surrogacy, calling it an unacceptable practice. Meloni concluded by discussing institutional reforms, with a particular emphasis on the justice system: "Our objective is not to subject the judiciary to political power, but rather to enhance its efficiency and reduce its susceptibility to ideological biases and political currents".
