Of course she changed her mind on leaving the EU... thanks Brexit!

The answer is not the brexit, but reforms for the eu.

Reducing bureaucracy is literally what every politician is saying should be done, yet nobody ever does so. Why? Because the bureaucrats are the politicians and their jobs depend on it! Nobody will make themselves redundant.

Regarding the wish to leave the EU, even Orban doesn't want that as it would be very unpopular. In Hungary, most big projects are subsidised by the EU. That's also the case (in a smaller volume) for Italy and other southern countries.

Meloni is just one reason why things are changing. Anti illegal immigration policy and pro farmer policies are raising all over Europe.

There is a difference between accepting legal immigrants and accepting anyone who shows up on the Italian coast

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="228">3:48</a> It's time to stop thinking that Italy is strong in car manufacturing. Italy produces less cars than the Slovak republic. Fiat, after blocking or acquiring every other local car manufacturer, is no more, Stellantis has legal and fiscal headquarters outside Italy. The only thing that remains is the obsession of the average italian with car-centric culture, a landscape with little public transportation and even less cycling infrastructure.

It’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. Farmers do indeed dislike heavy environmental regulations, and from their standpoint, it is understandable, and I do think that the current green policies in the EU don’t really seem to be working in the long run (Germany banning nuclear energy because of it being “bad for the environment” was a major beuh moment for everyone). Tax breaks for farmers and some concessions for them are definitely good ideas. However, being environmentally friendly is also very much needed, and this is why I hope that they will refocus their environmental policies instead of reducing them. Here in Hungary, there’s been a massive surge in building battery plants, and this has had many mixed results to say the least. It seems like the authorities here (which are pretty corrupt) don’t enforce many important environmental regulations, and because of this, there’s been massive pollution near these factories, to the point that it’s both really bad for the workers in the factories themselves and the towns where these are located. It’s interesting how these environmental regulations kind of screw over farmers, but the lack of regulation would screw over factory workers (especially because even if you are not working in that factory per se, most people living in the town are from the working class). There must be some sort of compromise. As for the rest, I am pretty sceptical about them, but there are indeed some solutions needed for stuff like immigration, which is shamefully ignored by the left and even centre, despite there being many problems arising from it. I must say that I am not a huge fan of the EU shifting right as I am not really big on neoliberal policies (albeit like I said, tax breaks and concessions can be a good idea). However, I am still younger, so this might change when I get older, as people seem to get more conservative, at least economically once they secure a well paying job (which hopefully will happen).

The young lady is an excellent host. Calm and clear. Thank you.

Please dont bring Orban into anything. A bigger Moscow chil does not exist! Also, I'm not sure Italy of all countries should be complaining about EU bureaucracy when they themselfs are the worst country in Europe when it comes to it.

I would love to have heard more of your analysis of Meloni's strongly pro-Ukrainian policies, particularly as they contrast with those of potential partner Fides. Unless I missed one recently, it's worth a whole nother video.

Bahaha Italy giving others lessons on bureaucracy is pretty funny

Talking about bureaucracy for an ITALIAN is definitely mad.. as an Italian myself, I can assure anyone that the bureaucracy in Italy is horrible and inefficient.. it can take up to 1 year to get a passport appointment just for example and it is everything expensive.. horrible.

Italy: “EU, I don’t like all your bureaucracy!” Also Italy: “Help me EU, these jerks are copying our cheese!”

ThanksMuch for posting !

You lost me after the misspelling of "bureaucracy" on one of the intro cards. 😉😁

Georgina talking about Giorgia. BRILLIANT (the sponsor of this video)!

Your objectivity is refreshing.

Lookin good G's. Great delivery. ++

i think it's funny that this news outlet is from britain and they report better than any EU news outlet.

Great delivery and clarity. More of this presenter, please.

Irrespective of whether you're left or right, I think we should be able to agree that Meloni should avoid courting Orban. The guy has basically made himself just a couple steps short of a dictator at this point.

great content! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="439">7:19</a> seems to be missing a frame or something :)

Trust, Meloni and friends can reshape caverns only

[chuckles] I’m in danger!

Notwithstanding Meloni, Italy cannot afford to be eurosceptic ... we have an historical posture and we are founders of EU, thats is why Meloni is adapting to reality ...

Support from The Netherlands 🌷🌷🌷🌷

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"

She taking real steps towards fiscal discipline and the economy is showing upticks. It’s not talked about much but it’s becoming noticeable

I live in milan and the environment here is garbage. Every other day the air is so bad you can't go outside.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="439">7:19</a> "dependent on video topic" a little behind-the-scenes of ad insertion during video production

“Ideological issue” science is not ideological. It’s science.

France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Portugal (not sure about Spain) have all moved in similar political directions to Italy in some key areas.

Looser Structures and more national independence is demanded but at the same time more EU-Bonds? That perfectly illustrates how EU-Bonds only benefit the indebted European Counties. Hypocrisy at it’s finest…

There's a serious error here, Meloni was never about leaving EU. That was Salvini (and Di Maio). Meloni in fact always affirmed to want to change EU, leveraging Italy's role as one of the main founding states of the EU. Meloni always was against migration and valuing Christian european culture.

For info there is a small issue with the video at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> some montage missed info I think

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="135">2:15</a> "Meloni's views ...pretty extreme : ... dangers of ethic substitution and dilution of Europe's christian culture" That is extremism? Seriously?

The earth is heading towards disaster, but won't anyone think of the oil industry and the richest?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="350">5:50</a> How is that tough language? That should be absolutely common language.

The title sound effect kinda sounds like the one from ted-ed

better plan that just leaving the eu

As long as there's ongoing disarray amongst EU member states over the issue of irregular immigration, the problem will only get worse and ultimately drive even more EU member states to the Right. This issue was raised in the *New Internationalist* magazine in *September 1991;* the article is still available to read on line and is titled *'Fortress Europe'.*

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="119">1:59</a> That is an interesting spelling of the word "bureaucracy;" I must say I have yet to be that inventive when it comes to a word describing something so decidedly un-creative.

Eurosceptic is a good term. A little underrated. To call her far right is a compliment to the far right. Everything she sees looks clear to me. Besides common sense people agreeing with her. Those lied to should see the light as well She's pretty down to earth making it easy enough to see her logic.

I like this girl, can we have her narrate more things pls

Coming from an Italian, Meloni wasn't the dictator the media depicted. She's been very moderate and basically just like any other government. She'd make a good PM if it wasn't for her party and allies, which absolutely suck. Meloni herself has what it takes to be a leader and she's pretty reasonable about state matters. Atm she's the most skilled politician in Italy

Use a spellchecker. “Beurocracy” (~<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="119">1:59</a>) is the worst misspelling of bureaucracy I have ever seen.

Very good presentation

"Fidesz" is pronounced "FideSS"

What they call "bureaucracy" are safeguards against extreme policy and political takeover. Not only safeguards against extreme legislation but also protections against Lobbyism. The reason why you need hordes of lobbyists in Brussels is because it is so hard to influence so many different nations in so many languages.

The difference between the so called EU-optimists and EU-sceptics is in their approach to EU policies, not their opinion on the EU in general. Both are heavily pro-EU.

Political leaders are like football team managers, you don't always get the best ones tio run a country. Fortunately, Italy have a good one this time👍

Well well well, seems like its slowly dawning on Brussel that "democracy" does not mean "agree with us and do what we say, or else".

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="119">1:59</a> "beurocracy" TLDR still doesn't proofread

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a> the most italian man in the world

She's the definition of populist politician who wants people to fear so she could exploit these fears. Absolute trojan horse for the European values and a reminder for how low has the Italian public fallen.

Have illegal immigration actually reduced ?

The thing is about popularise movements, what they actually want to push and what they can push is very limited to what the people want. We should remember after all that most of them got into power because of angry voters that are not happy with the established parties, they want change but they don't want the country to be turned upside down with radical policies, hence why they tone it down to appeal to more people, in other worlds, many of them become more moderate, the only exception to that rule is if the population becomes radical in high numbers, which is rare and if that did happen, then there are far more problems than it seems, as it is, it's mostly angry voters of how the established lot are dealing with things. With that said, reforms are clearly needed to the EU, but I think it's more in integration in key areas that's needed, maybe some areas could be loosened, but if we are going to improve our effectiveness and economy, which is probably what most people complain about, the economy, that we can achieve more together. The real question is, how to go about the reforms, what areas need more integration and if there are any areas that could be done better more at a local level, and I don't mean national level, I mean local region level. In any case, the world around us is going to force change on us in directions that some want and others don't, in a world of superpowers, it's likely going to put more pressure on us to integrate more into the EU just to stay competitive and to protect our interest, at an individual EU country level, we are too small compared to the big players, which allows the superpowers to divide and play us off each other, which they do all the time, in other words, we need to find solutions of having a cohesive voice among it's members and through the EU if we really want to protect our interest, the alternative is a slow decline, and in the end, the changes we do in the EU will likely drift in the direction of more integration in key areas because of the political and economic realities of the world, especially of a polarised US that's becoming less trustworthy, an aggressive Russia that's becoming more war like and an ambitions China, the changing world is likely going to push us to integrate more even if we don't want to do so.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> "dependent on video topic"

I heard a wonderful idea recently about changing our views that human society is separate from nature.... Countless animals and plants have adapted to thrive in human altered environments. If we started treating cities, farms, and ranches as human-influenced environments while making space for wildlife? We'd solve a lot of problems~ But we do still need to preserve what would places we have left as much as possible. Learning how to safely and healthily incorporate wildlife in our human environments? We could makes lives better for all living souls~

I still don't understand which one of her views are "extreme".... seems that this channel is rather extreme in its bias....

What's fidesh?

Why the heck should we pay other countries to oblige our law???

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> That's not how bureaucracy is spelled.

My biggest worry here is the environment policies. If Europe doesn't set an example for other countries, no one else on this globe will. And that's how we'll get hell on earth in some 30 years. Genieten van.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="191">03:11</a> Interesting that she still sees it as an ideologic thing after what has been happening year after year in every Summer in Italy - specially after the crazy Summer of last year. It's quite obvious that climate change is a thing and anyone that denies its existance doesn't understand the difference between climate and weather.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> weird editing issue

this is definitely the best tldr speaker. but just one thing: orban's party is pronounced fides, not fidesh.

Yeah... Temperature of waters in Florida reaching 101 degrees (body temperature is 98F btw.), eastern Europe record high temperatures IN OCTOBER, but the biggest problem we're facing is the green deal LMAO.

The Euro is a one way ticket to poverty for Italy as it is an overvalued currency in the same way that it was until recently a big boost for Germany through being undervalued. One size does not fit all.

I despised Flintenuschi before it was cool in Brussels.

My add for this video was from the ECR. Advertising a “documentary” (if you could call I that) where the lead would visit “some of the most euro-sceptic people”. Not exactly nuanced. Wonder what the ECRs opinion is in targeted advertising…

So, I understand Meloni's concerns about EU climate requirements impacting small businesses. These are the backbone of Italian industry, and it's true that they'll struggle to adapt. But why fight the new legislation instead of pushing for assistance and investment? I think it'd be better to turn this into an opportunity to revitalize Italy's stagnating economy than to drag everyone else down into stagnation and eventual climate disaster. I can't imagine that history will remember this kindly.

"anti-immigration" "climate skepticism" 🤦 these two ideologies are completely conflicting as the climate crisis would INCREASE migration.

I'm not against EU reforms that looks at areas where the EU needs to give members more autonomy, a too heavy handed top down authority in Brussels could be disatrous. Also the bureacracy of the EU is too large we need less regulation for business to innovate

Great job Italy 🇮🇹. Support from Latvia 🇱🇻

I cannot understand just how right-wing parties can want BOTH less green policies and less migration, when we don't pursue green policies, that will cause more people to migrate from areas becoming too hot to live or simply drowning. It's either one or the other, it can't be both.

Watching this makes me want to move to Italy

Believing that supportingTraditional European culture is extreme probably says a great deal about what is wrong with Europe's media today. It shouldn't be controversial to support and promote our cultural identity.

It’s immigration that is the most important, in all countries regardless left(Danish social democrats), right(well every right wing party) and center(Donald Tusk, Mitsotakis, Maja Kallas)Europeans want to protect their culture and history and parties that align win.

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="119">1:59</a> of the video you misspelled "bureaucracy" as beurocracy.

A delightful video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

I believe standing against wildlife and finding a better way to get cleaner energy is the wrong choice. True, it might harm agriculture, and I know some people don't want a wind turbine in their yard, but choosing to use non-renewable energy resources instead will damage the environment and agriculture more than opting to use green energy.

I guess we will continue to see an increasing frequency of weather related rice crop failure in Italy if Meloni gets her way. Bravissimo signora! 😂

Too bad about those climate and ecosystem initiatives. It may be unrealistic to put the onus on businesses but we need serious regulations.

Nothing important but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="119">1:59</a> bureaucracy was misspelt

I want less immigration, asylum seekers must apply in their own country, one European army, less bureaucracy, choose either Brussels or Strasbourg, fewer representatives, direct representation (real European parties with an election theme instead of a collection of local parties), a economic policy that brings European countries together instead of playing them off against each other, infrastructure and waterways must be adjusted so that countries such as Turkey, China, Russia, etc. no longer play a significant role.

A huge yet common misunderstanding of political commentators is to confuse EU goals with the goals of the current left-of-center coalition governing the EU. Meloni doesn’t want to weaken or destroy the EU, as Brexiteers did. She wants a strong EU… with her party at the helm.

'Fidesz' is to be read as 'FEE-dess', not 'fee-DESH': 'sz' is read as 'sh' in Polish but as 's' in Hungarian. Pretty confusing.

@georgina much more confident delivery compared to when you started, keep it up 💪 Just one thing fidesz is pronounced [ ˈfidɛs ] and not [ ˈfidɛʃ ]

She wrote about "ethnic substitution" in her autobiography, which is a rebrand of the great replacement theory. Not far-right btw...

"Everyone who disagrees with me is far-right." 🙄 Thank you Georgia for putting Italy first!

I support Meloni! 👍👍

I'm very pro EU and believe most of the complaints the Right have about it are made up but she is right on both Immigration and Farming. As Michel Rocard once said, we cannot welcome all the misery of the world but we need to take our part, which we did and still do. On the farmer issues, the free market is messing people's life. How is it fair for a farmer in France not to be allowed to use a very efficient product (but ecologically bad) while the same farmer in Spain or Poland is allowed to use it, making their food way cheaper to produce? That's unfair competition. I'm a huge proponent of the free market but it needs to be regulated in a way that everyone competes on the same rules. If a product cannot be made illegal on the EU level, it shouldn't be made illegal on a country level, or those products shouldn't be sold outside their respective countries (which isn't possible as per the current laws). I don't trust Meloni one second but she surprised me on her foreign policies.

Based Meloni.

Wasn't this channel calling her far right about a year ago? Perhaps you should stop branding people?

There is very little difference if any between Meloni and Draghi

I feel an impending sense of doom when I see people elect politicians who don't take climate change seriously. Climate change is a huge issue and I think we all know it, but for some reason most people and politicians avoid it or put it in the back-burner. When everyone realizes their mistakes it will be too late.

In the end it is pretty simple. More power for every country means less power as an global political player. Because we always played against each others in our little european world. If we want to act together and bring geopolitical weight we have to give up some local tiny power . Another way would be to work together with full local power and form a geopolitical power. But this is more unlikly than riding on an unicorn in the clouds. European history shows it never happens before and it will become even more unlikely with more members. So the only practical way is to cut power of each country and give it to EU. Otherwise we will give up all geopolitical power to China and USA.

Simply put, EU may need an electoral college system similar to that of America. Every single member country counts regardless of size, safeguarding a balance of power-distributions.
