Giorgia Meloni has been at the center of headline political activity in recent days. Just this Friday, Meloni welcomed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to Rome for a high-profile meeting at Palazzo Chigi. Abbas urged Italy to officially recognize the State of Palestine, drawing attention to international efforts in preserving the two-state solution amidst the Gaza crisis. Meloni, in response, maintained a diplomatic stance, emphasizing that Italy’s recognition of Palestine remains conditional on the prior disarmament of Hamas and the formation of a future government without the organization, highlighting her preference for stability and reforms in the region according to reporting from EFE and WAFA. The Italian premier reiterated her staunch support for humanitarian aid—including medical evacuations for wounded children and the “Food for Gaza” initiative—and announced her government is preparing a new reconstruction and assistance package for the upcoming conference in Egypt.

Just a day before, Meloni received considerable media attention for her appearance at the 7th National Conference on Addictions in Rome. Speaking at the event, she warned of an escalating addiction crisis, especially among youth, and underscored her administration's commitment to early prevention and stronger integration between public health and private innovation. Her policy stance on behavioral and tech addictions as well as gambling is increasingly shaping Italy’s national debate, as covered by OneIndia.

On November 5th, Meloni conducted a diplomatic phone call with Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae. The leaders marked steady progress in economic and security cooperation and committed to deepening ties ahead of the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan—reinforcing Meloni’s international profile.

Turning to Italian domestic politics, Meloni sparred with unions over her government’s budget law. CGIL, the country’s largest union, called for a general strike on December 12 in protest against what they view as “budget safeguards for the rich”—accusing Meloni of cutting social spending while allocating more funds to defense. Meloni responded with sarcasm on social media, mocking the timing of the strike and defending the budget as balanced, fiscally responsible, and pro-family as reported by ANSA and AA.

On the subject of wealth taxes, Meloni took to social media to assert that “wealth taxes will never see the light of day” as long as the right is in government, in direct opposition to proposals from the left and despite recent polls indicating public support for a super-wealth tax. Her post, amplified by Nova News, sparked immediate commentary from opposition leaders.

Meloni’s stance on feminism remains a subject of social media debate and commentary. Wanted in Rome reports that despite her status as Italy’s first female prime minister, Meloni consistently refuses feminist labels, insisting on the masculine title “il Presidente del Consiglio.” Her ideology continues to blend tradition, nationalist rhetoric, and personal autonomy, leaving Italian feminists divided about the symbolic value and consequences of her leadership.
