Meloni in New York: “I will not allow Italy to become a refugee camp for Europe”

“I will not allow Italy to become a refugee camp for Europe”: this is what the Prime Minister said Georgia Meloni, speaking to reporters in New York. Meloni, after attending the opening of the 78th United Nations General Assembly, arrived at Columbus Circle to lay a wreath of flowers in the presence of some representatives of the Columbus Citizens Foundation and other Italian-American associations.

The monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus has stood in the square a stone’s throw from Central Park since 1892, at which time it was financed by a fundraiser organized by the newspaper Il Progresso to commemorate the quadcentenary of the discovery of America. Meloni stopped to exchange a few jokes with some Italian citizens living in the States who had come to the square to attend the ceremony.

In the Columbus Circle, in the southwestern part of Central Park, in the center there is a statue dedicated to Christopher Columbus, the work of sculptor Gaetano Russo. The statue was donated by the Italian community on October 12, 1892, on the occasion of the quadcentenary of the discovery of America.

Georgia Meloni herself is called the “Queen of Chess.”

during his debut as prime minister at the United Nations: According to Politico Europe, the prime minister will attempt to play the “Women’s Gambit” – a move invented by Italian chess player Gioachino Greco – using several interlocking moves that, if executed successfully, , can lead to excellent results.

“The Lady’s Gambit” or “The Queen’s Gambit” is also the title of a successful series starring Anya Taylor Joy, but Politico is limiting itself to the international arena and quoting Meloni’s diplomatic adviser Francesco Talo, a former Italian ambassador to NATO, on this subject: “Meloni has recently spoken a lot about the need to watch over the entire global chessboard, without losing sight of a single piece or piece. For example, by moving the Queen to the east, we risk missing a bishop who hails from Africa.”
