Italian PM Slams 'Leftists' at CPAC- 'Trump, Modi, Meloni, Are Real Voice of People' | Full Speech

At CPAC 2025, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni called out the Left’s "double standard," claiming conservatives like Trump, Milei, and Modi are unfairly branded as threats to democracy. She argued that liberals once praised global leftist networks but now fear the rising influence of conservatives worldwide. Meloni said Trump’s victory has made the Left "hysterical" as conservatives grow stronger. The event also saw Trump meet Polish President Duda and Argentine President Milei, reinforcing his global influence.
