Masterful, informed, passionate, smart, independent. Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni BLASTS the colonial boot of France in Africa.
One of the most significant points of contention between Meloni and Macron has been the issue of migration. Italy, under Meloni’s leadership, has taken a hard stance against illegal immigration, often criticizing France for not doing enough to manage migrant flows, especially those rescued in the Mediterranean. This tension was highlighted when Meloni accused Macron of hypocrisy in handling migrant distribution across Europe. Here she argues that Europe does not need more Africans, but Africa needs fewer Europeans by savaging the French practice of seigniorage, whereby the French government steals money from African nations.
“The exploitation of Third world nations by the government of the First world is criminal. Don’t be fooled by the acts of kindness from the ones that ‘give with one hand, take with the other.”
Wouldn’t we love a leader like this?
