“There are forces that seek to divide us, redefine our history, and destroy our shared traditions. They call it woke culture.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this in a video message at the 50th anniversary gala of the National Italian American Foundation in Washington. “It is an attempt to erase the fundamental history of Italian Americans and to deny their special place in this nation. We will not allow it. Columbus Day is here to stay,” added the Prime Minister, thanking Donald Trump for reinstating the celebration this year.
“Let me quote the beautiful proclamation that President Trump made last week,” Meloni added, “As we celebrate the legacy of Columbus, we also recognize the contributions of the countless Italian Americans who, like him, have continually contributed to our culture and way of life. Even today, The United States and Italy share a special bond rooted in the timeless values of faith, family and freedom‘” “Well said, President Trump, thank you,” the prime minister added.
“United States and Italy together – Meloni said again – they are not just allies but they are the pillars of the free world. There was nowhere else I would have wanted to be tonight, but there are too many things to do here for the country we all love.”
