    • 2024 April 7, Porta a Porta, spoken by Giorgia Meloni:
      Hanno fatto marcia indietro perché piano piano hanno iniziato a capire quanto fossero irrealistiche e utopiche alcune letture ideologiche che la sinistra aveva imposto in questi anni che rischiavano di desertificare l'economia. E quindi stanno piano piano correggendo il tiro.
      They backpedalled because they slowly began to understand how unrealistic and utopian were certain ideological interpretations that the left had imposed in these years that risked drying up our economy. And so they are slowly course-correcting.
