"We won't back down, we won't throw in the towel, we won't betray."
At a quarter past one, after 70 minutes and more than 70 applause, Giorgia Meloni closes the speech with which she asks and obtains the trust in the Chamber (235 yes) with a hoarse voice and a thread of emotion.
Without hiding the difficulties that you will have to face, starting with the high-energy emergency, because Italy is "a ship in storm".
But she, she assures her, is at the helm of a "capable crew" and she will do all she can, even at the cost of not "not being re-elected", to bring the ship safely to port.
Overturning once again the predictions that have always seen her as "underdog", the underdog, who has arrived where no woman had ever gone before.
And in the evening she tweets a thank you to all the political forces "
"The course is drawn: let's go forward"

The points of Giorgia Meloni's programmatic speech
She is the first female prime minister.
You head a right-wing party that has established itself as the first party in the elections.
And that she now has the numbers and she wants to rule for the next 5 years.
To give the country, with clear recipes and a change of register - from the tax authorities, to the covid, to migrants and support for the weakest by reviewing the citizenship income - "a future of greater freedom, justice, well-being and security".
You claim your origins, Meloni.
She knows that she has to overcome the "prejudices" with which she is viewed her government, even abroad.
And it is no coincidence that you first of all assure that Italy is firmly positioned with the West, against Putin's war in Ukraine, fully within the Atlantic alliance ("freedom - you say - you have a cost" ).

However, the attitude will change: never again with hat in hand in Brussels, respect for the rules yes but also a legitimate request to change them.
Not to "sabotage" the EU - the message it also sends to Brussels where it could fly as early as next week - but to "bring it closer" to the citizens.
"I will never be anyone's cheerleader", she adds during the reply where the tone becomes more heated.
Where she lets herself go to some Roman expression, she gets the "you" from the deputy of Verdi-Si Aboubakar Soumahoro and she replies directly to the deputy dem Debora Serracchiani: "Do you think I'm a step behind men?", She says before clarifying that, for her, women's freedom is not measured "by being called capatrena".
In short, the question is not whether "the"

Women, he assures, "will have nothing to fear from this government" because, as he pointed out earlier in his speech quoting Montesquieu, the center-right government "will never limit freedoms, even on civil rights and abortion".
There is no controversy these days that he drops, point by point: the "merit" serves to guarantee even those who are not from a good family the same chances of making it.
Meloni: 'On my shoulders the weight of being the first woman premier'
There was a sharp
response in the Chamber between the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and the opposition benches.
The first was when, during the reply, the premier replied to the leader of the Democratic Party, Debora Serracchiani who, during the debate, had spoken of women who are a step behind men.
When Meloni replied that her role proves that she is not like that, some protest voices rose from the benches of the center-left.
Shortly after, Giorgia Meloni was corrected because she had mispronounced her name by Verdi-Si's deputy, Aboubakar Soumahoro.
"Sorry, you are wrong, and when you are wrong you must be admitted", she commented the premier, also correcting the fact that she did not address the deputy calling him "honorable" but "colleague".
