Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the United States, strongly criticized what she called the Left’s double standards in global politics. She claimed that when leaders like Donald Trump, Javier Milei, Narendra Modi, and herself express their views, they are labeled as threats to democracy, whereas left-leaning politicians such as Bill Clinton and Tony Blair were once hailed as statesmen. Her remarks come at a time when right-wing leaders worldwide are facing increasing scrutiny from rights watchdogs and opposition groups, often accused of promoting authoritarian policies.

Meloni defended the growing influence of conservative movements in global politics, emphasizing that despite opposition attacks, people continue to vote for right-wing leaders. She argued that the Left resorts to misinformation and smear campaigns because it fears the rise of conservatism. According to Meloni, the conservative movement is gaining traction, particularly in Europe, where it is becoming an influential force shaping political landscapes. Her speech resonated with many attendees at CPAC, a key event for right-wing figures and supporters.

She further highlighted that the collaboration among global conservatives is unsettling for left-wing parties, particularly in light of Trump’s potential return to power. Meloni insisted that conservatives are not only winning elections but also forming alliances that challenge the dominance of left-liberal political networks. Her remarks signal a broader ideological shift and increasing polarization in global politics, with right-wing leaders asserting their growing power and influence on the world stage.
