Unfulfilled Dreams – Meloni provides intimate insights into her life

“I wanted to be a singer, but I have no voice. I wanted to play on the national volleyball team, but I’m a midget. I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, but he died too soon.” It was absolutely not her dream to become prime minister, the head of the post-fascist Fratelli d’Italia party joked.

Learned Italian thanks to Michael Jackson
Meloni, 47, said she learned English on her own thanks to her love of Michael Jackson, “because I wanted to understand what he said in his songs.” The head of government admitted that she was not an optimistic person. “For me, the glass is always half empty, but because I imagine the worst possible scenario, I can handle all other situations,” said the head of government, who has been in power since October 2022.

She has many negative aspects, but not what she considers the most devastating trait in a politician: vanity. “In reality, I’m someone who likes to laugh, especially at myself,” Meloni said.

‘I don’t like being prime minister’
The Italian also talked about her political career, which she started at the age of 15 as an activist in the youth organization of the neo-fascist party Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI) in Rome. “I am someone who has spent two-thirds of his life in political engagement and I still consider it the most special form of social engagement there is. “I don’t like being prime minister and that is exactly why I was able to stay here longer than others,” Meloni said.
