Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Sunday compared mothers to “frontline veterans.” The mothers of her seven-year-old daughter’s school friends would help her in everyday life, the politician says in a podcast.
“I don’t know what many mothers in my daughter’s class choose, but they do their best to help me. They know that I cannot take Ginevra to school parties and offer me to take her,” explains Giorgia Meloni. “Mothers support each other as veterans on the front line. They are people who have fought together and ultimately create a special dimension of have achieved solidarity,” she is convinced.
Regrets only child
Meloni has been Italy’s head of government since October 2022. A few months ago she divorced her partner, the journalist Andrea Giambruno. She would have wanted a second child, but had Ginevra at the age of 39. “When I tried to have a second child, there was no time left. I’m so sorry that Ginevra is growing up as an only child.”
Meloni’s government wants to increase the birth rate, but has had little success so far. In 2022, the figure was 1.24 children per woman, the lowest in all of Europe. At the time, there was an average of 1.41 children per woman in Austria.
