    • 2022, Session of Parliament, spoken by Giorgia Meloni:
      Ho sempre reputato le leggi razziali del 1938 il punto più basso della storia italiana.... I totalitarismi del '900 hanno dilaniato l'intera Europa... in una successione di orrori che ha investito gran parte degli Stati europei. E l'orrore e i crimini, da chiunque vengano compiuti, non meritano giustificazioni di sorta, e non si compensano con altri orrori e altri crimini. Nell'abisso non si pareggiano mai i conti, si precipita e basta.
      I have always considered the 1938 racial laws to be the lowest point in Italian history.... 20th-century totalitarian regimes tore all of Europe apart... in a parade of horrors that devastated most European states. And the horrors and crimes, no matter who commits them, deserve no justifications whatsoever, and are not made up for by other horrors and crimes. In the abyss, there is no discussion of getting even; it is only a race to the bottom.
