Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hit out at Europe and the opposition during a rally in Ancona, dismissing predictions of her government’s collapse and accusing the EU and Western media of “smugness” toward Italy. Meloni defended her coalition’s record on migration, crime, and economic stability, claiming Italy has become a “standout performer” in Europe despite criticism.
