  1. CORRECTION: As multiple commenters have pointed out, describing the superbonus as "Meloni's superbonus" is rather inaccurate: the superbonus was passed by the Conte government in 2020, and Meloni has actually been one of its most vocal critics. Apologies, and we hope you nonetheless enjoyed the video!

  2. Ref: The 'REPUBLIC of ITALY' (not EU Region of a place called Italy).
    Firstly, a 'Correction' is useless, and just reflects incompetence concerning Italian political facts. Take down the video and re-edit.
    MELONI: The policies of Georgia Meloni as not only leader of the Fratelli di Italia but leader of the 'Centra Destra' (CENTRE Right) political alliance are NOT "…out of whack…" with, crucially, Italian voters and I should know, I am English and emigrated to Italy 10 years ago and I am now a Permanent Resident of the Republic of Italy.
    RAI: By the way RAI has for decades, institutionally and editorially, been of the LEFT and utterly biased against any political party other than the 'Partito Democratico' (ex-Communist Party of Italy)
    BUDGET: The budget deficit issues were there long long before Giorgia Meloni under a line of despised non-elected, effectively EU appointed, Technocrat Prime Ministers.
    For the utterly incoherent, may I affirm what others have said and point out that the now infamous 'Superbonus' was not, never, invented or instigated by Giorgia Meloni. More 'Fake News' when it comes to Georgia Meloni…..

  3. FOR MELONI > IF SHE IS WISE ENOUGH, IT'S ITALY COMES FIRST & NOT UNITED SNAKES đŸ‡ș🇾

    SHE MUST TAKE CARE OF HER COUNTRY CITIZENS & NOT THROWING EVERY DIME TO SUPPORT WARS CREATED BY THEIR MASTER UNITED SNAKES đŸ‡ș🇾

    URSULA VON DER LEYEN IS DIFFERENT AS SHE IS UNITED SNAKES đŸ‡ș🇾 LAP DOG.

  4. The EU is nothing but a WEF and NWO TAKE OVER!!! THE Italian President is on Track!!! Yes Vlad Putin is Anti Globalist, Anti WEF, and NWO!!! Putin is one of the Good Guys trying to save his country against the NWO WEF and the NWO Army NATO!!! Anyone supporting the WEF, and NWO, EU , NATO, is an ENEMY OF HUMANITY!!! Taylor swift is a teeny booper AIRHEAD!!

  5. Get your facts right! Meloni did not introduce the superbonus that was the previous Conte's govrrnment. Meloni cut it off. Meloni has introduced several cuts to previous government's borrowing…ths left previous government. Regarding the RAI , Meloni asked to be more balanced. The RAI is full of leftist supporters and the previous government never looked for a balanced view. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! When Meloni came into power she found herself with an extrabillion in debt due to the bad mismanagement abd incompetence of the previous government. I have never voted for Meloni, but I will from now on.

  6. When Greece collapsed other nations had to chip in. They don't want Italy to collaps. Therefore these budget rules are there. Italy has no direct war or huge crisis and yet has a huge deficit. It's not sustainable. If you want to be in the EU you sort of have to agree with the rules. Otherwise you need to go out of the EU. Nothing wrong with that.

  7. Hearing these Euro's deny the Fascist nature of the EU and their destruction of Western culture is always very funny. Anyone who dares to point out that stuffing millions of Islamic men into your country that hate you, hate your religion, and hate your culture — not to mention who's religion is based on hatred, slavery, and murder………….is demonized. This guy is just another lefty idiot.

  8. YOUR MISTAKE WAS A MINOR MISTAKE YOU DO NOT NEED TO APOLIGIZE
    TO PROVE YOU ARE RIGHT AND MELONI'S PARTY ENDORSED THE SUPER BONUS, READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE
    Superbonus e cessione crediti, chi ha voluto le proroghe? Tutti. Quando i deputati FdI dicevano: “Avanti fino al 2025, no a continue modifiche” NEWSPAPER " IL FATTO QUOTIDIANO"

    JUST FOR THE RECORD NO MELONI BEFORE THE ELECTION HAS BEEN PROMISING TO EXTEND THE SUPERBONUS SHE HAS JUST BETRAYED HER OWN WORDS ANOTHER TIME

    DO NOT FEEL COMPELLED BY THOSE IGNORANT ITALIANS THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT

    NO MELONI HAS NEVER BEEN A VOCAL CRITIC OF THE SUPER BONUS UNTILL HER POLITICS LED TO FAILURE AND SHE BEGAN TO PUT THE BLAME ON THE SUPER BONUS

    MOST MELONI SUPPORTERS ARE JUST IGNORANT THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW AND READ VERY LITTLE

    A FEW OF THEM ARE FASCIST NOSTALGIC

  9. 100% THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR : RUSSIA AND UKRAINE ARE ONE BROTHER AND SISTERLY NATION AND TOGETHER THEY INVENTED THIS STRATEGY ALTHOUGH IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR THE DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IN ORDER TO WEAKEN AS MUCH AS AMERICA AND NATO AS WELL AS EUROPE…..FINALLY RUSSIA AND CHINA THEY WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, AND AMERICA, NATO AND EUROPE WILL DRINK A GLASS OF COLD WATER THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE ANY MONEY

  10. Let's simply put it this way, both ladies don't get along (they don't like each other). But has it something to do with their religion or countries of origin?. Or the stereotype of women don't like each other?.
    Well if the rift between both escalates I think the handsome gentleman (President Emmanuel Macron can step in). I love that.

  11. Juk Vokietija ÄŻmontavo nelegalĆł milijonais sau ir sakė, kad reikia tam visos "eu-su" solidarumo ? pala jĆ«s gi patys sau ÄŻmontavote tą problemą 2014 metais ir kodėl mes turime dėl to visi kentėti dėl jĆ«sĆł GermanĆł diktatoriĆĄkĆł paĆŸiĆ«rĆł visokiĆł pakraipĆł, nes jĆ«s visuomet save laikėte ir laikote super duper ultra protnguoliais, o kaip dėl to, kad bĆ«ti ir taikuoliais ne kabutėse ir kituose aspektuose ?!. Vokietija kokią jĆ«sĆł nuomonė apie abortĆł ekstremizmą, nes ĆŸudymas ir yra dar vienas ekstremiznas kartu su terorizmu ?!.

  12. Those who know geopolitics will know that eu is a puppet of usa. Why do you think eu is forcing countries to import millions of military age men many of whom had close connections with isis, al queida, etc. Brussels is controlled by Washington.

  13. because right now Italy don't benefit nothing from EU but losing, so Italy think they can connection to russian for help in time of need , Italy has troops and weapons but not much to carry on , lacking oil and gas to run businesses , make so hard to run businesses with out oil and gas , used to be easier then with russian businesses connection , today is not good russian has turn off pipe line,

  14. Maybe it is time for Italy to leave the EU, if they feel so restricted. They are already flirting with BRICS and if they were to join, I, as an EU pro, would not find that acceptable, as the EU group makes the decisions of such nature surely. Anyway, I do find the issue over the deficit more worrying especially in light of an economic 'boom'. It seems impossible for any Italian government to get this under control. Perhaps not dissimilar to Greece some years ago; that said, it appears that Greece have it under control (at the moment) which is good news. It is with regret that I must be straight here and express my believe that countries who do not perform well financially, by definition, have less say in the matter, especially if they have been given a lot of money to get them out of a mess. I understand there are probably cultural differences at play here but nevertheless, as a collective, we are much stronger, as the UK have discovered, where more and more people have begun to realise that leaving the EU was a mistake.
