ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER, GIORGIA MELONI: We want the laws of our country to be written by Italians, not by a bureaucrat in Brussels. We want to be masters of our own home. It is not hatred to demand that those who enter Italy do so by asking permission, respecting our cross, our language, and our laws."

If this is a return to tribalism that is objectionable… then count me in for Club Objectionable, https://t.co/8p5wPUnK19

Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni:

"You raise your voice to defend your people and they call you racist. You want your children to grow up in a safe neighborhood and they call you xenophobic. We want the laws of our country to be written by Italians, not by a bureaucrat in Brussels. We want to be masters of our own home. It is not hatred to demand that those who enter Italy do so by asking permission, respecting our cross, our language, and our laws."
