Meloni's party aims to protect Italian language from foreign influence.

Italy's nationalist Brothers of Italy party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has proposed a draft bill that would impose fines of up to 100,000 euros on public and private entities that use foreign terms, particularly English, instead of Italian in official communications. The bill aims to protect and nurture the Italian language, stating that the spread of English "demeans and mortifies" Italian. The proposed law also requires all public and private bodies to use the language of Dante to promote their goods and services, and stipulates that all job titles in companies operating in Italy should be spelt out in the local language.
