Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.

È il 1992 e lei, Giorgia Meloni, ha 15 anni e frequenta il linguistico “Amerigo Vespucci”. Non proviene da nessuna “casata” della destra romana ma, come tanti di coloro che in quegli anni abbracciano la militanza politica, arriva da una situazione familiare particolare: sua mamma, Anna, è separata, ha anche un’altra figlia (Arianna) e fa i lavori più svariati per tirare avanti.
