Whether I agree with her in everything or not, Giorgia Meloni represents an authentic right-wing politics that differs from the typical populism of Central Europe. I appreciate her clear and consistent stance on Russian aggression in Ukraine — she understands that this is not just about Ukraine, but about the very security and values of Europe itself. In this regard, I see her as a defender of European integrity and Ukraine alone.
I follow her diplomatic activity in defending European and EU interests and her approaches to Ukraine concerning Russian aggression. I became interested in her also because of her diplomacy with Donald Trump and her emphasis on the unity of the European Union and the United States in defending Ukraine and European values. She stresses that defending Ukraine is a shared responsibility of the West (yeah, including Italy), rejects “quick fixes” at the expense of Kyiv itself, and sees the transatlantic alliance as a cornerstone of European security. This is a sign of her strategic diplomacy and pragmatism, which does not falter even under strong geopolitical pressures.
Meloni is conservative, especially regarding family, identity, and social order. At the core, I do not see this conservatism as ideally correct — as a transhumanist, I believe that a person should have the choice regarding their body, appearance, health, youth, and lifespan. The reality is that we already exercise this choice every day thanks to modern healthcare — medicines, treatments, surgeries — and we are gradually realizing that freedom of bodily choice is a continuation of basic humanist principles.
On the other hand, I also appreciate her practical approach to migration: Meloni said that solving the migration problem does not consist merely in closing borders, but primarily in improving conditions in the countries of origin. This is pretty rational, long-term, and ethically responsible.
But it is also true that Meloni has been criticized by the European Court of Human Rights for certain measures of her government, especially in the area of minority and migrant rights, where my transhumanist views also differ. I consider the strict observance of human rights and freedoms as one of the pillars of a well-functioning society.
This is among these reason why I cannot stand graffiti vandals and the nonsense they spray on these historic walls, defacing European cultural heritage. Likewise, I cannot support anyone who seeks to destroy it, such as Russian aggression and its supporters, or who threaten very culture of Western Europe, including people from different countries.
