Giorgia Meloni visits one of the poorest towns in Basilicata and asks the mayor what the three priorities are to revitalize the area.

“The first is the hospital: it’s there, but there are no doctors.”

She pulls out her cell phone, talks for a couple of minutes, and then announces:

“Done. The doctors will arrive within a week.”

“The second is water: it’s there, but a mine upstream has polluted the aquifers.”

She picks up the cell phone again, a couple more words, and says:

“Done. Within a month, the aquifers will be cleaned up, and the owner will compensate the residents.”

“And the third?” she asks.

“The third is cell phones,” the mayor replies.

“Nothing works here.”
