Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party (PD), has criticized Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for being disconnected from the real issues facing families in Italy, such as high living costs and low wages. Schlein argues that Meloni’s rhetoric is filled with slogans and serves only to boost her image, while failing to address the genuine challenges faced by citizens. Other opposition figures have also condemned Meloni’s policies, especially concerning public health and immigration, accusing her administration of mismanaging funds and prioritizing propaganda over substantial governance.
