Look who’s making waves in the EU! It seems that Meloni has taken a page out of Viktor Orban’s book and is now vying for the title of the EU’s most notorious conservative leader. And what’s her latest move, you ask? Oh, just setting the stage for Italy to leave the EU.
In a stunning revelation, a new media report by Express claims that Italy has emerged as the clear favorite to exit the European Union, with the elegant and confident Giorgia Meloni at the helm.
Based on the odds offered by leading betting sites, including Coral, Ladbrokes, and Bet365, the report suggests that Italy’s departure from the bloc is now a distinct possibility. The Online Sports Betting Group (OSBG) has placed the odds at 3-1, pointing to Meloni’s steadfast Euroscepticism as the driving force behind this trend.
It’s no surprise that Meloni, with her unyielding commitment to nationalistic ideals, has long been a vocal critic of the EU. Reports from Politico as far back as 2014 suggest that she was calling for Italy to abandon the euro. Now, nine years later, with Meloni’s star on the rise, Italy stands at a crossroads in its history. Paddy Power gives the country a 25 percent chance of leaving the EU next, highlighting the high stakes of the situation.
If Italy were to leave the EU, it’s expected to be a classy affair with plenty of Italian panache and grace. It’s no secret that Viktor Orban, the charismatic nationalist leader of Hungary and a close friend of Meloni, would support the move. Her allies are also said to have connections to the increasingly isolated Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which heightens the intrigue.

Meloni made her debut in the spotlight in 2019 with a moving speech in Rome that quickly went viral. She proudly asserted her identity as an Italian woman and mother, embracing her Christian heritage without reservation. Many people were moved by what she said, and ever since then, her star has been rising.
Despite Italy’s status as a founding member of the European Union and a member of NATO, the so-called ‘Italexit’ movement has been gaining traction in recent years. With Meloni at the helm, the EU always had concerns that she could cause problems in the near future. And it seems they were not entirely wrong.”
The subtle messaging
Meloni has been a frequent presence alongside her European counterparts, including the charismatic Emmanuel Macron and the savvy Olaf Scholz. However, there are indications that her relationship with these heavyweights may be more strained than it appears.
For instance, Meloni has been vocal in her criticism of Macron’s handling of the migrant crisis, calling him out for backing away from a deal to share the burden of migration. With a long history of taking anti-French positions, Meloni is a staunch advocate for Italy’s interests within the European Union. While she recently met with Macron in Rome, there is an air of expectation for future clashes over contentious issues such as migration.
Similar scenes have played out with Germany, who have pleaded with Meloni to assist migrants arriving on Italian borders, but to no avail. As the EU continues to cozy up to China, Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni has been voicing her opposition. While EU leaders are busy exchanging pleasantries with China, Meloni has made it clear that Italy is not ready to take that leap of faith just yet. In fact, rumors are swirling that Italy is even considering using its Golden Power to limit Chinese influence over Pirelli, an Italian tire maker.’
Meloni has been on record for some time now about her misgivings regarding China. She has warned that moving too close to China could have dire consequences for Italy. The question is, will the EU listen? Do they really want to cozy up to China and risk alienating one of their own? It’s a tricky situation, and only time will tell how it will all play out.

Reviving the Italianism!
There is a palpable sense that Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is on a mission to revive and prioritize Italian identity and tradition over European values. Her government’s latest move to ban laboratory-produced meat and synthetic foods, and instead promote Italy’s rich culinary heritage demonstrates her serious commitment to preserving Italy’s culinary tradition and public health.
The proposed legislation imposes severe fines of up to €60,000 on those who violate the ban, and the Director of the newly renamed Ministry for Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, Francesco Lollobrigida, has been outspoken in his support for the legislation, pointing to the value of Italian cuisine. The initiative has received considerable attention domestically and internationally and has been welcomed by the Italian farmers’ lobby. However, the proposal has met with stiff opposition from the EU, which has invested billions in developing laboratory-produced meat.
Another controversial move involves Italy’s proposal to outlaw the use of English in both public and private institutions. According to Meloni, the language “demeans and mortifies” Italians. The legislation also requires all acronyms and job titles used by Italian-based companies to be written in Italian, with the exception of foreign words that are impossible to translate. While some people have praised the proposed ban as a courageous move to promote the Italian language and culture, others have criticized it as an attempt to distance Italy from the rest of Europe.

Italy has taken a remarkable turn towards nationalism amidst the current political climate, and the widespread support for these measures is even more astounding. Giorgia Meloni, the prime minister of Italy, has an approval rating of 54%. The proposed ban on lab-produced meat and the government’s emphasis on promoting Italian identity and traditions over European values indicate a growing anti-EU sentiment in the nation.
Despite being a long-standing member of the EU and NATO, the rise of the “Italexit” movement and the increasing popularity of nationalist leaders suggest a potential turning point in the nation’s history. This could be Brussels’ worst nightmare coming true.
