Meloni’s (Controversial) Plan to Rescue Italy - VisualPolitik EN 

I think we need to understand that nationalism isn't always a bad thing. If we critically examine some of the negatives of globalism (loss of several sectors of work in various countries, mass refugees inflows, and a increasing wealth inequality), we have to realize that protecting your own country does not necessarily mean you hate other people but that you want to prioritize the good of your own.

I feel like the term "right" and "left" are way too old to describe the complex political spectrum of today's world.

I'm an Italian from Germany and here the media is totally hating on Meloni and the new Italian government. Obviously, their fear is that Italy is going to be more self-confident and not as devout as in the past 20 years. Germany and France do dominate the EU and they dislike the fact that someone like Italy might ask for too much.

It's not what Meloni and her party think, it's what the Italian public think and she understands that. The same thing is happening all over Europe. The drift to the right is inevitable because the current establishment is failing to provide people the wealth and security they think is normal. We are witnessing a ground roots protest by numbers and a rejection of the established order. It's happening everywhere.

as an italian, i'm really surprised how you managed to accurately describe the messy italian politics without falling in the lazy simplification typical of foreigner opinionists. you really know how to do your job, CHAPEAU

For me, Italy is one of the most important countries in the world from a cultural standpoint. It might very well be the true heart of Europe. I wish Meloni and Italy well.

She honestly seems like a normal conservative just with a lot more passion. Her views aren't radical, her energy is.

Hehe, love this channel, but hearing a British man side talk about how often the government of another country has been changing really did give me a giggle!

As an Italian, Italy is ruled only on the immediate crisis and emergencies, like covid, earthquake, immigrants, war, debt, all problems in a short term without any prospective for the long period. That absence of strategy is the undoing for the country

If only mainstream news worked as hard as this channel to be even-handed. Gives you a lot to think about. Great work as always.

I am sure many Indians are going to discover this video today after she visited India during the G20 summit. I have often heard of her being the "rise of fascism" and whatnot, but thank you for making a proper, detailed view of what she stands for.

You go lady..Putting the Italian people first..I wish you where here in the UK..Respect to you..👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The Niger and Nigeria stuff is sooooo true. And printing currency for 14 African countries and holding 80% of their reserve in France is also true

After the flood of "peaceful" men in italy(Sicily), the bad economy, the devaluation of the euro the high inflation. There's no doubt why many of them chose right politicians

Im not familiar with Italian politics but when I heard the speech it sounds more like she was talking about family values and to reform the economy of Italy and the lives for Italians. Which especially with what was going on in the country you can't blame the Italians for electing her. We just have to see how things are going to manage in a couple of years.

Italy has such amazing architecture.

I tottaly think that she has a lot of good points. If i was Italian, i would vote for her. Greatings from Poland PL

I think many people forget to mention that she recently clarified that she doesn’t want to leave the EU or the euro at all and that she even hopes the EU will be capable to act faster and more firmly in matters such as foreign policy in the future

BTW as Italian living in Poland....it's impossible we are getting close to anything in Poland. The Judiciary, Constitutions and political system are so diverse that things which have been extremely messy in Poland (Rule of Law, Abortion becoming Incostitutional) in Italy are literally IMPOSSIBLE to get. The Constitutional Mechanism of balances and counterbalances is strong in Italy, not in Poland (which has a 25 years old and not so strong, constitution)

She looks great, sounds great, and despite the bad press she’s been given, I’m sure she’s the prime minister Italy needs at the present time.

I so much love this lady. She is very straight forward. Europe needs this type of leaders not hypocrites who claim to promote democracy but are destroying the world through poverty and global terrorism.

Wait isn't she the person that was offered 100 cows 🐮by Uganda to marry the President's son? 🤣

I do agree with the thought process of Meloni, the points she highlights are really genuine and must be echoing in Italian hearts, the problem with her is she is going to have mental and emotional break down, when/if she was not able to achieve what she promised and might not be able to come back. So Italian brothers please support her and assist in reducing the debt on the country. Also, one way we could help each is by increasing trade with many countries, sign-in FTA, collaboration on space missions basically a more engagement with rest of the world rather just Europe. Love from India 🇮🇳

She seems more center right than anything here in the US, and at least she upholds valid election results. So I don't think she's the harbinger of fascism the media makes her out to be.

I didn't vote for her, but I can understand people who did. The problem is if you always cry wolf, people are going to stop taking you seriously, that's essentially what happened with the Italian left-wing parties: all they did was tell people not to vote for Meloni else the country would turn into a fascist state again, without providing an actual manifesto of what they themselves intended to do for the country. This has been happening for far too long and people just got fed up with it.

Here in uk we need a Georgio …..asap

You can just write "Meloni's plan to rescue italy" and then do the same video. You write "controversial" only for right wing people.

Love to see Melony focuses on her people and country root values. That 's great. Hope all coubtries in EU support her. Love from Indonesia.

I think that Meloni shows a healthy dose of patriotism and economic pragmatism to make a difference. It will take a few years, but I think she is able to make a prosperous country out of the now crippled Italy. She is a strong, smart and responsible woman and mother.

Viva Italia!

12:52 Man she did shut down Macron really hard.

Great video. Made it so much clearer to me what Meloni actually wants to do in terms of policy. Thanks!

Best wishes for this woman 😊🙏👏👏👏

My God I wish she was in charge of our government in the UK.

I’m moving to Italy 👌👌👌👌👌🇮🇪

Thank you for your reportage and research on this issue. A good example for a journalist on how to be impartial and let the people to judge by themselves. The message is clear and I thank you for your work.

I think this video misses a few key elements that raise concern about the potential authoritarian threat of this government, most importantly Meloni's proposal to change the constitution to a presidential model, centering a lot more power in the figure of the President. While this is not necessarily a bad thing in a vacuum (plenty of democracies around the world have presidential models) you have to understand the post-war context in which the Italian constitution was written, with the specific objective of making a return of the fascist regime unlikely. The fact that this proposal comes from this party, with its roots in neo-fascist movements, is at the very least cause for pause. You can agree or disagree with Meloni on an array of things (personally my politics is the furthest away from hers on any given topic, for full disclosure) but no matter your opinion I don't believe such sweeping changes to out constitution should be made by what is essentially a minority government. Let's not forget that despite the vast majority they have in parliament, Meloni's right wing coalition only got 44% of the vote. There are more italians who didn't vote for this government than italians who did, we just have a crap electoral law.

In economc policies every italian politician gets it wrong. Everyone wants to maintain the status quo and redistribute wealth to those who vote for them, there's no party of true change and reform because it would mean that many that now are living off of unproductive public spending would lose their paid place, so this is why Italy will most likely continue to decline for the next decades.

Meloni would have been rather ordinary politician 30 years ago. Calling everyone right of Marx fascist is legitimizing real fascists.

I'm an American and I think she's amazing. Over here we're in a culture war against these disgusting woke monsters.

I definitely like what she has to say i also an Italian citizen, and she promises to pass the laws that she has stated I will definitely vote for her in the following four years . Let’s see what she says at night time really happened in the morning 😊

This is Italy. They change leaders like most people change socks.

Finally Italians are voting for their country protect its culture which it’s one of the greatest in so many ways

She sounds pretty good to me.

How many realized that in the first video where she is giving a speech; she is speaking Spanish and not Italian?😂

"My giorgia is not a fascist. She may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a fascist, but she is *not* a porn star!" grampa said

12:54 Holy shit, did I actually agree with a fascist leader for the first time in my life???

what i love about the first clip on Giorgia Meloni 1:18 is that its not even the italian people, it's the SPANISH people doing a standing ovation for her ahahah

Italian here. Don't be so easily impressed: so far, she screamed a lot, achieved nothing, the general goods prices skyrocketed, and the poor work for lower salaries. She's too happy to be up there but totally unfit for the role of prime minister of a complex country like Italy.

I love this woman.

I m not a fan of Meloni however, she speaks foreign languages better than the pope and she’s spot on about France involvement in the Arab Spring , Well said Giorgia ! Now it’s time to fix things not only shout .

Well done, Meloni cant resolve all the problems, but will make us feel more secure

If I'm honest, I'm expecting the government to collapse within 24 months given the constant shifts in what Italy wants.

She is on the right road in many aspects and on the “wrong” road in a few. Overall, right person at the right time. Personally, I’m a social democrat and I think she tends toward my thoughts.

Finally some goog news in Europe. Avanti!

Happy to see decent coverage of something not so left scare tactic driven

This didn't age well. She literally stripped parental rights from homosexuals.

If Brussels hates it I love it.

give 'em months, they'll change sooner than you think.

Brava Meloni. She is not a fasista but a patriotic Italian that wants her own people to manage their country, not Brussels and the Eu.

Meloni’s position is what I expect of a conservative movement. This is coming from a liberal btw. Most of her positions are promotion of ideology rather than forceful cornering (eg. institutional ban on abortion). Tha is what is missing in North American politics. I hope her government succeeds and acts as role model for conservative governance.

Meloni is brave. And thinks outside and f the box All of the professional politicians need to look inward at the changes happening now and stand up for the people not there self gratifying jobs

Como to BRICS Italy. Best wishes. From Brazil 🇧🇷

The usual English hit piece on Italy. The commentator doesn't explain why Italy is still Europe's 2nd largest exporter, why Italy has Europe's 2nd largest manufacturing base, why it is the world's 7th largest economy. Italy has 2456 tons of gold, the 3rd largest of any country. This guy would do well to do a story on the failing British economy which the English never criticize when it comes. to their own country.

Much more objective view than the newest one about my country, Poland (done by the previous guy who sold "Visual Politics"). Thank you for that!

One can only hope they do succeed in starting the turn of Italys' fortune. Really should make people think that YT news channels usually give better balance to stories than any of the legacy media.

I'm Italian and I don't like the equation far right = fascism. It feeIs like it's clearly an oversimplification, but because we were on the wrong side of history we can't reply

I like her policies. Every country is different and needs to do what’s best for them in terms of economics and social policies. I hope she does well.

as a French I can say Italian really did the right choice its sad we couldn't do it in france

Italy does not need another fascist leader. They never should have had the first one. But people never learn from history's mistakes.

As a mediterranean I believe that Europe should be based more on the needs of Italy, Spain and Greece as culturally we are the richest

I am Italian and it is absurd how reality is distorted from your point of view, the fact that the media respond to the Italian elections in this unrealistic way is a symptom of the fact that the Meloni is uncomfortable for someone.

The literal founder of fascism, Giovanni Gentile, was a follower of Karl Marx. Explain to me how a conservative being elected in Italy who values freedom and traditional values is reminiscent of the coup d'etat in the 1930s.

So, COMMON SENSE is called "controversial" nowadays!?

I have been following Meloni since 2015, when I first heard her. I had been away from the country for over 41 years, and since my return had been trying to understand how the country works. She sounded so different from other politicians that attracted my "centrist" views on society. She has matured since then, into what I believe is the best choice for the moment, and knowing that she will rise to the task when changes will demand.

As French and with Italian origins we need Italy to come back has one of the strongest economy in Europe Italy need to be next to France and Germany as the strongest economy in the world (Spain too) I think Meloni is the right person to fix Italy’s economy

There is more danger for a loss of democracy in the US, England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as they align with globalism. So Meloni is a breath of fresh air in many ways.

Go ahead Italians!! Don’t give up!

The reason she is being called a fascist is because she is ripping off the communication techniques hitler used with controlling the tempo of communication using rhythm. It starts slow then escalates in speed and intensity as the speech goes on.

Georgia is the voice of truth and justice a voice that every nation should wake up and follow.

I congratulate her stance on all the issues.

May God Protect her everyday. She is the Voice of Italy 🙏

A center right politician who still supports America’s agenda rather than Italy’s own interests.

I hope she is supported as she wants to help Italy and not herself as Berlusconi did. She loves Italy. Vive Giorgia

Good for Italy, that's the way to go

At least Meloni is not crossing that red line and stills strongly supporting Ukraine.

Listening to her speech at the beginning of the video, El Duce would be proud.

Every time someone says nazis and fascist are far right because of racism my brain is damaged.... people who didn t read atleast 10 or more books on ww2 ideologies talk about ww2 ideologies.... they are racist socialist ideologies.

I hate this woman but having lived in Italy before, I think her policies will be good for that country

I live in Italy. Nothing but nothing could be worse than life under Mario Draghi. We were ecstatic when he went.

The Ghost of Mussolini still lingers, what a shame some Italians don't learn.

So in a nutshell, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Much needed

Meloni is a breath of fresh for Italy…

You guys are clearly left biased by calling any right wing policy as "controversial".

Bro needs to brush his teeth

I support Georgia!!! Good for her and her party!! Theyve made Italy even better!!

Great analysis and information. 👏🏾👏🏾

'renationalize telecoms' that doesn't sound fiscally right-wing to me?

Italy for Italians. They just need to have more babies.
