During a video address at a campaign event for regional elections in Emilia-Romagna, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni challenged union leaders over their decision to call for a general strike, questioning why such actions weren’t taken during higher unemployment levels. Meloni highlighted the government’s approach in aiding workers, contrasting it with previous administrations that she claims mismanaged public funds. She also pointed to favorable macroeconomic indicators, asserting that Italy is in a strong position compared to other European nations and boasting its lowest inflation in the G7.
