From Nationalist Outsider
Education and youth policy, shaped by her own early political experiences, remain close to her personal interests. Having started her political life in youth movements, she places strong emphasis on civic education, patriotism, and cultural heritage in schools. Her government has promoted initiatives designed to strengthen students’ connection to Italian history, language, and institutions. Supporters see this as a way to reinforce social cohesion, while critics worry about ideological influence in education.
In the area of justice and security, Meloni has prioritized law and order. Her administration has introduced tougher measures against organized crime, street violence, and illegal trafficking. Italy’s long struggle with mafia networks remains a major concern, and she has consistently presented her government as uncompromising in this fight. Strengthening police forces and judicial efficiency has been framed as essential to restoring citizens’ trust in the state.
