Sun Feb 23 13:48:15 UTC 2025: ## Meloni Accuses Left of Double Standards at CPAC
**Washington, D.C. – February 23, 2025** – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) yesterday, accusing the Left of hypocrisy in its assessment of conservative leaders. Meloni argued that while alliances between leaders like herself, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are labeled threats to democracy, similar collaborations among leftist leaders are lauded as statesmanship.
Speaking via video link from Rome, Meloni praised Trump and highlighted the Left’s apparent anxiety over his return to power. She cited the alliances between former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as an example of past leftist collaborations that were met with praise, contrasting this with the criticism leveled against current conservative alliances. She included Argentinian President Javier Milei in this group.
Meloni asserted that this perceived double standard is increasingly ineffective, with citizens continuing to support conservative leaders who champion freedom, national interests, secure borders, and traditional family values while opposing “wokeism” and what she termed “green leftist insanity.” She expressed confidence that people are no longer swayed by the Left’s criticisms.
Despite recent tensions, including those surrounding Ukraine, Meloni predicted that the relationship between the U.S. and Europe would remain strong under President Trump, countering concerns about a potential shift away from European allies. She expressed confidence in Trump’s leadership and predicted that those hoping for divisions between the U.S. and Europe would be disappointed.
