On the morning of this Wednesday, Meloni arrived at Casa Rosada where he received the usual protocol welcome. She was received by Karina Milei, and later by the libertarian. They took some photos and held a meeting in the presidential office.
In a subsequent joint press conferencehighlighted some of the central ideas of the extreme right, such as strict defense of large private property, immigration, security and in the case of Milei he also referred to his policies against monetary issuance.
In front of the microphones Milei maintained that: “We were both chosen to lead the destinies of our countries for addressing with courage and openly what we could call the central problems of our nations,” and continued: “In my case, end rampant emissions and deep misery that left behind decades of collectivism. In the case of Prime Minister Meloni, provide a response to uncontrolled immigration and the consequences on citizen security”.
However, Milei, far from solving the central problems of his country, led the economy into a deep recession, increasing levels of unemployment, informality, poverty and destitutionwho had left the Frente de Todos Government.
For your part Meloni has focused his Government on increasing repression by the Statesuch as the arrests of political figures such as Leo Bertulazzi, carried out with the collaboration of Milei in Argentina, violating fundamental rights such as that of political refugee.
Another of the prime minister’s central axes was her anti-immigration policy, hardening borders, promoting xenophobia and extreme nationalismviolating the human rights of those who go out to look for other lands in order to survive the harsh situations in their countries.
It is worth mentioning that at the age of 15, Meloni joined the “Youth Front” of the Italian Social Movement (MSI) party, founded by the last fascists. Later, he headed the student association of those party’s successor, the National Alliance. After an accelerated rise as a figure, In 2012 he founded the Brothers of Italy party, from there extreme statements were made, and Italian fascism was vindicated. and the “Roman salute” was used, similar to the “Nazi salute.” Over the years, these more extreme contours would be polished in order to position themselves as “center-right” within the Italian political system.
Both Meloni and Javier Mileil They seek to forge alliances with the rest of the far-right leaders internationally, such as Santiago Abascal in Spain and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, or Donald Trump himself, recently elected in the United States.. These alliances seek to consolidate an ultraconservative bloc from which to promote strong economic adjustment policies, benefits for big business and billionaires, and what they call a “cultural battle”promoting hate speech, racism, xenophobia, classism and conspiracy theories, along with the systematic use of fake news on social networks.
Unlike his ideological affinity with Meloni, one of his last bilateral meetings did not stand out precisely for the libertarian’s coherence. The meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the global forum in Rio de Janeiro showed that the economic difficulties of the Milei Government and the Caputo plan seemed to be stronger than their ideological positions. Thus, the president of China went from a “murderous communist” to an “interesting business partner.” While the Government needs the foreign currency that can enter through this route, China is interested in continuing to advance commercially and economically in the Latin American region, within the framework of its global dispute with the United States.
This pragmatism on Milei’s part was also seen in the G20 meeting itself, in what was the Argentina’s formal accession to the final document of the Summitdespite the dissidence that was later stated in its own official statements.
